Anatomy of a Lie. Sample Sunday “Wired”. December 20, 2012. When Your Characters Go Public. Salvador DalÃ, on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (Photo credit: Wikipedia). I'm sure this happens to all writers from time to time. It's our curious nature that's to blame and our quest to provide realism to our work. I'm talking about the odd stares from strangers for doing what comes so naturally to us, thinking like our characters in public. I often take notes of the...

Kim Foster: August 2008
http://kimfosterga.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 6, 2008. For those who don't know, I left town on July 15th to attend the Sewanee Writers' Conference in Sewanee, TN. ( www.sewaneewriters.org. The trip was a big deal to me, and I figured I'd be blogging all about it by now, but other matters have eclipsed the conference. Just before I left for TN, Mama had come down with shingles. ( www.shinglesinfo.com. Problematic medicine for the shingles? Is the nursing home now keeping her doped up so she'll be less trouble to them? I am a writer...

Kim Foster: April 2009

Tuesday, April 28, 2009. When Your Wife Doesn't Feel Well. I always think that if a man can't figure out how a woman wants to be treated, just look at how she treats her kids. However we mothers treat our children (if we're mentally normal and all) is bound to be our idea of what pure love is. How do we greet them? How do we talk to them? Feed them. Whatever. With that in mind, let me just say that when I am sick I would like the following:. Take care of me. When I'm just lightly-to-moderately sick, and ...

Kim Foster: Ruby Slippers
http://kimfosterga.blogspot.com/2009/10/ruby-slippers.html
Monday, October 5, 2009. When my daughter Bliss was little, Target used to sell sparkly jewel-encrusted red shoes that reminded me of the ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz. Every time I went in the store I would look at them and think how thrilled she would be if I bought her some. But then I'd think, Don't be frivolous. That's ten dollars, or whatever, that could be spent on something more practical. A hundred times I looked at them, a hundred times I never bought them. The Margaret Mitchell House.

Tuesday, December 2, 2008. In the Restroom of The Pink Pony. Here is what it's like in the ladies' room of The Pink Pony, which is a strip club. Yes, with female strippers. Don't worry how I know these things; just read. To have girly sex? Hmm Signs on the inside of the stall door instruct the strippers as to what drinks to order if a customer offers them one (high-priced champagne cocktails). You make a mental note to share this tidbit with your husband. Then you sashay back to your table where ...View ...

Sunday, October 11, 2009. My Brain Has Been Rewired. I'm convinced that excessive computer usage has rewired my brain, and maybe yours, too. And not in a good way. Yesterday morning I got up and of course (! It's almost as though we've conditioned ourselves to have ADD. No longer is it a way of life to concentrate on one thing at a time; EVERY job description uses the term "multi-task." We go through our days trying to do one main thing while flipping back every few minutes (seconds? I am a writer trappe...

Friday, May 21, 2010. How Was Your Day? The other night, Brandon and I were both in the bathroom. I had just come home from visiting my mother in the nursing home and was about to take a bath, and he, having seen little of me that day, was just in there chatting with me. BRANDON: So how was your day, Mama? ME: (wearily) Ohhh. it was fine, I guess. HIM: Except for the part where you had to work? ME: Yeah. And the part where I went to the nursing home. ME: Oh. Then I guess my day sucked. How Was Your Day?

Sunday, May 17, 2009. I am developing such a collection of hoochie shoes that I'm thinking about starting a website for foot fetishists. (That's just a joke but believe you me, if I thought I could make a living at it.). I do I wish the zippers were silver, but I still like 'em. Sunday, May 3, 2009. Now for a tally: How many bowls of chicken soup have been made for me? How many times has my husband soothed my fevered brow or favored me with a sympathetic glance? You guessed it. ZERO.
