Courage and Criticism and Creativity: Some Thoughts
My kids were watching Ratatouille a few days ago, and I caught the very end where Anton Ego, the food critic, gives his monologue reviewing the restaurant. A portion of it struck me, especially in light of what happened with a friend of mine today, a creative–though not a writer–as she received some stinging criticism […]
Contest for a Free Paperback
WINNING THE CONTEST Once when I was in high school, I entered a contest to win free “glamour shots.” To my parents’ dismay, I won and went to collect my prize. At the last minute on a whim, I took my two younger sisters with me to the local Fred Meyer. We let the photographers do […]

When I married my husband, he was still in law school at Georgetown U in Washington, D.C. Then he worked for the U.S. Congress before we moved to Arizona where he hung out a shingle and worked as a lawyer for a while before running for judge. So basically, he made the laws, defended people […]

Happy birthday, America. It seems like the whole nation is in party mode. I’ve got two big family get-togethers this month in the gorgeous, much-cooler-than-Arizona Utah mountains. Zip lines, giant swings, all the watermelon you can bust your gut with. How does your family celebrate July? One more quick party for me is that I […]
