Ethan-7yr, Putting it all in Perspective

Kelsey Kilgore — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 18:33:22 +0000

The other day I was thinking aloud about something. Can’t remember what, but it was a small problem. How to arrange the afternoon schedule, or what to make for dinner. No idea what the specifics were, but Ethan-7yr listened for a minute and then said, “Mom. Don’t worry. All stories have a beginning, middle, and end.” He put his hand on my arm and said, “This is just the middle.”

Walking in High Heels 101

If you have any tips on how to walk in high heels, would you leave it in a comment here? I don’t have a problem with them myself, but I can’t figure out how to describe it to someone who does, and I’m writing a scene that needs just such a conversation. (you’re writing whaa? who writes stuff like that?! yeah. that’d be me.)

Soooo, how would you tell someone how to walk in heels?

Cover Girl

I squealed (in a girly way, not a pig way) when i saw the cover art for A Love for Larkspur! It’s so cute! I’ll post it here as soon as I get the go-ahead!

A New Reader

My heart has swelled with pride over a new literary conversion. Ethan, my 7 yr old, has morphed into a full fledged, passionate, devoted ALL THE TIME reader. His nose is suddenly not visible to the rest of the family, as it is always in a book. “CHAPTER books,” as he will proudly tell anyone who manages to capture his attention away from the latest Mary Pope Osbourne tale.

Oooh, it’s sweet thing to see!

On a Writing High

Last night I had a fantastically productive writing session. Feet propped up on a footstool, laptop on lap, The Next Iron Chef on in the background, and voila! Ten pages. Ten pages is always about as much as I can ever write in one sitting, so I was thrilled.

Now. I just need to do it again today.

And tomorrow.

Ever wondered…?

A friend and I were at a grocery store tonight, and as we walked down the aisle we saw rows and rows of olive oil. Doesn’t it seem odd that there are levels of virginity for olive oil?

There’s olive oil, virgin olive oil, and extra virgin olive oil. There might be others, I don’t know. If you know your olives, and your oils, and your cooking, well - it might not be odd at all to you.

And if you don’t know anything about any of those things, you might really get the giggles in Wal Mart.

Warming Up Slowly…

I keep trying to write something for this site, and it just doesn’t work. The concept of an “author site” has me completely, utterly intimidated.

I have no problem writing anything and everything over there, but here is another story.

Surely I’ll warm up to this site soon.

It’s chocolate-y brown.

And that should be enough inspiration all on its own.

Welcome!
