I got an email this morning from my brother from another mother–no, not this brother from another mother, this one. (Hmmm…they are both filmmakers. Funny that.) Read it, and do what he says. Pretty please.
Okay… so the absolute ridiculous has happened.
A bar owner I know hired me to make a stupid movie […]
I got an email from fellow LiteraryMama, Elrena Evans about her latest writing and publishing endeavors, including the release of Mama, PhD: Women Write about Motherhood and Academic Life which she co-edited with another wonderful LiteraryMama, Caroline Grant.
In addition to checking out their blogs (which feature giveaways!), you can also enjoy the trailer they created […]
I love surprises, the good kind. Love, love, love them.
A few months ago, I received a wonderful surprise in the mail from Stephanie, a dear friend who–wow!–I have cyber-known for almost a decade. Steph and I have born witness to some of the most significant highs and lows of each others’ lives, personally […]

1. Spring
2. My neighborhood.
Is it just me, or is this the springest spring that ever sprung? It’s such a nice spring, it’s got me writing corny sentences like the preceding one. That’s some spring. Growing up in Florida, I never gave much thought to seasons. But now, living in PA and having children for whom […]
…to Junot Diaz! His first novel, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, has won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction.
NYC has everything. One minute you’re in a comfy apartment in Park Slope snuggled up with a friend’s 8-day-old daughter, drunk on her new baby smell, monopolizing all her time; the next minute, you’re popping champagne in celebration of a good girlfriend’s forty-something birthday at Boucarou, a restaurant/lounge where West Africa meets the East […]
Courtesy of my dear friend and dueling laptops partner extraordinaire, below are some summer opportunities for writers of color.
