I’m trying to clear my desk so I can work today and tomorrow. I mean literally clear my desk because it’s covered in kid drawings and K’nex and someone has swiped all my pens so I need to track down some damn pens. (This is the glamor of having a work-at-home environment.)
I figured my fractions wrong and I’m not making 3/4 of what I need to make; I’m making 7/8! My mom is so proud! (Really! I called her!) Of course it makes me nervous because some of that money were from one-off jobs and not from regular assignments but I feel like, hey, I can get more assignments because I’ve gotten assignments in the past and so I will have assignments in the future.
My next set of postcards finally went out on Saturday so that pushes follow-ups to the week after this. This is the next one. (You can see the first one here.) Obviously they look better (and less blurry) in person. You can see that my campaign is working a theme because I want people to go, “Hey, it’s one of those Smart Cookie postcards again!”
I have two kids and a delightfully odd husband, Brett. My children are Noah (born to us in 1997) and Madison (born to her first mom, Pennie, in 2004 and brought to our family through a domestic, open adoption). They are my inspiration and also the reason I don't get more done around here.
I'm a writer and sometimes I get published, which is a nice thing. I write for joy, I write for money and when I'm very lucky, both things happen at the same time. My work appears in national publications including Yoga Journal, Disney's Family.com, Utne, Wondertime, Brain Child and Salon. Currently I am working on a book about my daughter's adoption and seeking representation for the proposal. I also own Smart Cookie Communications with my husband.
