The End

I recently published my first edited book,  Labor of Love: A Literary Mama Staff Anthology ,  with  Small Harbor Publishing . It's an anthology of writing from  Literary Mama  staff over the past 20 years. It's a beautiful collection and I am proud of the writers and proud to share the book.  It seems a fitting moment, as I pondered sharing about the book here on the blog, to reflect on my life as a blogger, and acknowledge that it is time to officially end this blog.   I started blogging in about 2007, when my baby was learning to toddle, when I was learning how to be a mother and stepmother, when I was just starting to see my way as a writer.

sick days

There's not much writing getting done lately. Cedar and I are still sick.  Rob got in on the action too and spent a long four day weekend sick as well.  With the kid home, and me still with this fever, I feel completely derailed from writing anything at all.  I am off the track and uncertain when I will be getting back on.  3 and 1/2 weeks of a low grade fever is making me insane.  It's wild how a little cold bug can alter everything!

This happened to me last year. I was sick for a really long time and ended up with a sinus infection and two ear infections. It was extremely depressing too. So, make sure you see a doc if you have major stuffed-up-ed-ness. And give yourself a break - being sick is hard work. It's bound to make you sad too. But it won't last forever. This will end (soon!) and you'll be back to writing up a storm. :)
