I have lots to report but this is just a news-flash type post. I'm sitting at the library using their amazingly fast Internet while young Vee is at a writing workshop with Australian Girl author Davina Bell. Vee loves the books, although they are a bit harsh. One child pick pocket comes over on a boat from England in shackles to a criminal colony in Australia. That was interesting to explain- stealing is wrong, you will not be rewarded with a book series, carry on. In truth I know she's probably too young for something like this, but I could not help myself- are there literary stage moms? Will this experience be what she sites as her "a-ha" moment when she wins the Pulitzer? I'm calling it now. Yes, yes it will!

Hi there red headed stranger...
ReplyDeleteWe are not really strangers are we? Almost blood, seeing you are married to my favorite nephew (named Kirk) (But he WAS my first nephew and firsts have there own perqs).
You write well! I am enjoying this, and I have only just started following u. I have written a lot about my travels, but I never have had a blog.
I do have a twitter act. and a facebook. I am going to ask Kirk to friend us.
I must say something about the words there/their. You used the wrong one when u wrote "are their literary stage moms? ;~)

I can totally see that! After all, Vee comes from a long matriarchal line of enthusiastic readers who developed into above average writers. No one (yet) has been awarded the Pulitzer, and I think it is high time,
