This is a continuation of a story I began last week. If you missed Part I, you can find it here. Again, this is a work of fiction. I sat on the floor of our closet sorting clothes into piles. I had postponed this chore for as long as I could, but it was [...] The following story is entirely fiction. It’s only base in reality is what exists in my head. This did NOT happen to me! But please read on and let me know what you think! I could never have imagined this moment. It all happened so quickly and the events were still fuzzy. I felt [...] My husband and I are heading upstairs to retire for the evening. (It sounds so much more official that way.) I’m slowly trudging up the stairs behind him. I look up to see a quarter moon staring at me on my journey up the stairs. I’m suddenly gripped with a childish urge and [...] I grew up with cats. For the most part, I really love cats. Plus, I find them to be easy, low-maintenance pets. For the most part. But they are animals. And just like children, they drive me crazy sometimes. Being an avid Friends fan, I felt that Phoebe’s ode to cats pretty much [...]  | January 26th, 2011 | Tags: writing | Category: Mama Kat's writing workshop, motherhood, writing | 8 comments “I am not Hemingway and I never will be. I’m done. I don’t know why I even try.” I said. “It’s not like you have to write a classic, for Pete’s sake. Just write a conversation.” “About what?” “About anything.

I could nearly feel the caffeine coursing through my body. I knew it was bad for me. I had seen The Biggest Loser. I closed my eyes and tried to ignore my [...] I watch the children interact. Mister A has a green storage bin on his head and his sisters are happily pounding on it at his encouragement. I smile at the moment and I know I have to share. I have to share the beauty I see in it. And so I write. There are [...] I stood there, looking across one of the highest, longest, suspended swinging bridges in the world, and I could feel the panic well up inside of me. I wasn’t entirely sure how I had been talked into crossing this series of bridges. But here I stood. And there was no easy way to back [...] | September 30th, 2010 | Tags: writing | Category: Mama Kat's writing workshop, writing | 14 comments This week, I am going to be joining the SITS girls in their Back 2 Blogging exercises. The first challenge is to re-post the first post you ever wrote. I began this blog on December 17, 2007. This is my first post ever: I am a stay at home mother to five children ranging [...] I grew up anyway. When I close my eyes though, I can still picture it.
