Back Fence and Other Cool Stuff

Posted on | March 25, 2009 | 4 Comments

Okay, today’s Back Fence comes atcha from one of my girl crushes, Christina Williams aka @Seeger on Twitter. Christina really won me over one night when we were free of our three-year-olds and we giggled about cute boys. Serious giggling. And she’s blond with freckles and she wears leggings with flats and basically she’s everything I want to be. I get a little single white female about her. That’s okay to admit on the internet, right? Borderline stalking?

She’s also a great writer. Her post follows a wonderful arc, the prose is tight, and the story is excellent. It’s from a real pro, let me tell you. So go, check it out. And there’s a Back Fence announcement over there too.

Annnnd on Saturday, I’m presenting at SWAN day here in Portland. It’s free and open to the anyone. It’s part of the Better Living Show and I’m going to read from one of my fine novels, and talk about storytelling and just being a professional writer. I’m so honored that they invited me to present. And I know the organizers a little — lovely ladies!

And, finally, steal this image, would you?

    Oh I know. I saw this pregnant lady on Deliver Me, I know, I know, stupid Discovery heatlh birth shows but I can’t tear myself away damnit, and she was wearing a cute little outfit with the leggings and the flats and I vowed to make myself as cute as she.

    I’m wearing leggings and flats today but that’s only because it’s the uniform of San Francisco.

    It was so strange. ML makes you fill out a waiver before you hang out (sign here; the pink copy is yours.) She retains the exclusive publishing rights should the evening’s events prove worthy of a larger audience. So savvy.
