I recently attended a writer’s conference where an author gave a speech meant to fire us up about our potential writing careers. You know the drill – work hard, don’t listen to the nay-sayers, be persistent, be patient, catch some breaks, be willing to go the extra mile.

Posted on January 15th, 2010 | 24 comments

I’ve been divorced a long time, and I’ve had my share of girlfriends and lovers. But with half-time custody of my two kids, I go to bed solo way too much. Spooning isn’t even on the agenda.

A couple I know met like this: he came into the store where she worked to buy things for his work, and saw she was hot, sexy and confident. They flirted and chatted and swapped phone numbers, started dating, and now they’ve been a happy couple for more than two years.
