Wow re your Brett. What a find. I hope you can find time to write. Me, it works to have a particular place and time. I go everyday to a coffeeshop and work there. It closes at a particular time, so I have to stop what I'm doing and get out of the house to go there. And while I'm there, I treat myself to an espresso with hot cream, and work with no interruptions. And then come home and do everything else. I am sure when I have a child things will change, but hopefully I can still do that once a week. I hope you can too. ps, the swinging entry page with Madison smiling and Noah pushing is beautiful.. I hadn't seen it before. hehe, well, the book review and what it says and how that pertains to you kind of fizzled out into an interesting insight into your life, your creative process, and how you interact with men, and how they affect you, but it was stunnngly interesting and insightful nonetheless.

The scene I remember most clearly is the one where her friend takes the scarf (I think it was a scarf) that she'd bought for herself and thinks it is a present for her. I thought that was sooo well written, hilarious and poignant at the same time.And her feminism is so understated yet so powerful. I love that book best of all Shields’ books.

I asked my hubby man (lol) and he thinks you are right too. I did come up with one exception and that would be Ayn Rand, her books were definantly not just for women and not considered a "woman's" book. I started reading her when I was about 13 thanks to a great mom that was not gonna let my pubilic inner city school education brefit me of reading great people. Of course she scared the heck out of most men....... which may be why they are so afraid of opening up another book of ours.

I second Kath and her beautiful metaphor about the "pebble and ripples". I think I will have to go and post some related ideas as well. Thanks for this. I’ll get that book when I can.
