“At night I read and write, and things I have never understood become clear; I reap the harvest of the rest of the year’s planting.” Annie Dillard – Pilgrim At Tinker Creek I jotted the quote above down in my journal last year. As I re-read it now it holds even more truth than it…

I've been listening to this (Over the Rhine's Snow Angels). Lovin' it. I've also been listening to this. Nice Coldplay rendition of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" on this one… And this album has been in heavy rotation since last Christmas. (The song "Gary" is a personal favorite.)

If you remember him, Maurice Sendak was the children's author/illustrator who is best known for his book, Where the Wild Things Are. The sets/artwork for the ballet were really…

It's post-Thanksgiving now, so all the Christmas decor can officially come out in our family! Time to get excited for the Advent. I have high hopes that this Christmas will be a lot better than last Christmas. We're excited to go to the Nutcrucker Ballet tomorrow with the girls. (Although I'm not too sure how…

Yep, just like the message from NaNoWriMo says, "I won!" (Completing the challenge is wining by the way.) I crossed the finish-line today by hitting the 50,000 word mark. I am proud of the accomplishment. To come up with a story with that many words in one month is very hard–even for a long-winded writer…
