My life as an author
Today I'm guest blogging over at EditSchmedit!!
My life as a writer.I have been a writer my entire life. How do I know this? I remember as a kid my parents got me this book on how to draw animals step by step. I went around for weeks making books about farm animals (specifically goats, hey we lived on a goat farm at the time). I would illustrate them and write them, then bind them with a cardboard cover. Maybe that was when the bug hit me. I’m not sure.

Trolls unite and be douchebags together!
You know what I can't stand?
...
Fucking Trolls
They're all like:
and
and
Filthing up the internet together...
You know what I can deal with?Trolls taking shots at me.
You know what I can't deal with? You know what weighs heavily on my soul and breaks my heart?Getting a message from a fan in the middle of the night after a troll has hassled them online.
I mean, it's like I grew up but I'm really stuck in the 13th grade.
So, Dear Trolls, please stay in the gardens and under bridges and in the dark where you belong.
And get a life.

Stevie is real!
If you've read The Phoenix Project books you are familiar with Stevie, Andie and Lina's pet dog. But did you know, Stevie's character is based on a real, live dog? Our own dog, Stevie!
She's a Shepadoodle (that's German Shepard and Standard Poodle mix)She's just as loyal and protective as she is in the book!We LOVE Stevie!

Crazy Things my Kid Says...
When doing homework: We were reading a book for school, in which a mystery animal ravaged a camp site. The book insinuated that it was a bear, all the questions at the end if the book said it was a bear. Yet my child argued that a bear has five claws, and so a bear could not have ravaged the campsite because the pictures only showed damage with four claw marks. Thus, she concluded that it must have been a badger and the book is wrong...
What do I say to that?
When playing at the park: "I found another kid to play with, but they were very unpleasant, so I went away from them."
When searching for worms to fish with: "You hop hop hop like a bird and then peck them out of the ground."
When I turned on Go Diego Go and it was the Spanish channel: "Mom... this is in a language that I do not speak. I have no idea what they're saying.
My daughter was complaining that her towel was too short. I told her to stop growing. Her response: "Mom! Growing is part of my life cycle!"

Seasonal Inspiration
Nothing is more inspiring than fall foliage. (Well...the snow is a close second!)I love to curl up with a cup of coffee and my laptop and write my day away.
