The Princess Diaries: November 2009
http://winnipegprincess.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 30, 2009. One of my co-workers called me prissy last week. Wellto be fair: she told me not to be such a priss. Is that the same thing? You see I am determined. To be all adorable and trendy and one of those people who can pull off things like scarves, and flamboyant earrings and skirts with tights and boots. So I bought a skirt. And black argyle tights. And I own boots. Boots that until now I tended to wear under pants. But now? And then I freaked out. The top? Was it too tight? So the n...

I will NOT scribble on the children. Fri 20 Apr 2012. On the last day you woke up five. Posted by bon under mama-baby stuff. You are sleeping and for a minute, mouth open, curled small in your bed, you look again like the curly-headed toddler whom i still expect to see, some mornings before my brain entirely catches up to the present. You are big, long now, leaner, solid. your Buddha belly is only a memory. you have a front tooth coming in. you will have been here six years tomorrow. Oh, you were p.

Swell Books: April 2010
http://swellbooks.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
The online home of Linda Sanders-Wells. Friday, April 30, 2010. I guess it should come as no surprise, but I find that I'm not typical in my social media habits. I've known that for a while - I first got clued in when I realized no one else follows my rule that I don't friend anyone on Facebook who I haven't friended, or at least met. Call me old-fashioned if you will. But for now, I think I'll keep my social media involvement rather narrowly focused. That way, it's useful but isn't a major suck ...I don...

Swell Books: My year as a children's author
http://swellbooks.blogspot.com/2010/04/my-year-as-childrens-author.html
The online home of Linda Sanders-Wells. Wednesday, April 14, 2010. My year as a children's author. Was released a year ago today, so this seems like a good time to look back on my experience as the author of a children's book. It's been one of the best things that has ever happened to me - from the great launch party at Blue Marble Books. To discovering last week that a reviewer. On Amazon wrote that her 3-year-old loved the book and understood it was about 'mag-nation. Here are a few highlights:. A DO N...

Swell Books: The moments I've been waiting for
http://swellbooks.blogspot.com/2009/10/moments-ive-been-waiting-for.html
The online home of Linda Sanders-Wells. Monday, October 19, 2009. The moments I've been waiting for. Those of you who know me - which includes all but about four of my readers, I think - will probably understand what a huge thing it is for me to be able to say this, but I had a great time promoting. The introvert in me took a back seat for once and allowed me to enjoy interacting with children, parents and other authors at two fall events. I worked an awfully long time. Blog, after all. Right? They were ...

Swell Books: Kids say the...
http://swellbooks.blogspot.com/2009/07/kids-say.html
The online home of Linda Sanders-Wells. Friday, July 10, 2009. Thing about getting a story I made up published in book form is sharing it with kids. I love hearing what they have to say and hearing stories about them asking for it to be read a third time in a row or not wanting to return it to the library. I am so honored to be part of any child's reading experience! Emma: What I like about Maggie's Monkeys was when I found out that the monkeys lived in the refregaraer. Keys And the name of the story.

Swell Books: Imaginary friends, part II
http://swellbooks.blogspot.com/2009/07/imaginary-friends-part-ii.html
The online home of Linda Sanders-Wells. Tuesday, July 14, 2009. Imaginary friends, part II. Yes, I had an invisible monkey friend as a child. But I feel compelled to add that my family lived in Central America, where some children had actual. Monkeys. So perhaps it's not as strange - or creative, if that's how you choose to look at it - as it sounds. The guests at my tea party are my younger brother and Chatty Cathy. Which tells some people exactly how old I am. A DO NOT DISTURB sign on the fridge? I'm a...

Swell Books: March 2010
http://swellbooks.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
The online home of Linda Sanders-Wells. Wednesday, March 31, 2010. Liar, writer. What's the difference? I'm always getting to books after everyone else has discovered, analyzed and written about them. This time it's Liar. The one of the cover conflict. Fame (I couldn't resist using the before and after versions here, because the before is just so wrong). If you don't know the premise of Liar. You should read it if you haven't. And again when Micah admits to (or seems to admit to! Sunday, March 28, 2010.
