Writing about writing about writing

Sorry I've been feeling sort of quiet these days, but you know how it goes. I have been talking to other people behind your back, however.

Over the weekend, I was part of a Father's Day article about blogging dads for the St. Paul Pioneer Press, "Dads join the parenting blog ranks". Those of you who hate the term "mommy blogger" can now hate on "daddy blogger", too.

I also did an interview for writer and artist Debbie Ridpath Ohi, whose excellent work you may recognize from the Schuyler's Monster website. It focuses mostly on the writing process, so you can decide for yourself whether I'm truly a fancy pants author, or if I just got incredibly lucky. I won't tell you where the smart money is.

Daddy blogger? Hmmm.

I want to be a Parakeet blogger, but people look at me like I'm insane when I talk about my fierce love for my two pet birds.

So I blog about travel and humor instead. : )

New to your blog and, believe it or not, the blogging world. Mom of 7 kids and starting a family blog.

Enjoy your blog and have read through many past posts. Inspired by your courage to write a book about you and your daughter (one of the ultimate in exposed vulnerability) and feel your love and devotion for her. Precious!

Thank you and I just might look up that handbook.....

I think you are an excellent writer, Rob. You write honestly and from the heart. You listen to that intuitive voice and in some magically or gifted way (you decide) it is conveyed in your work.

As a parent of children with "special needs," I thank you for giving a voice to the unique parenting world. Unique, scary but magical.


For that I thank you. Miracles do happen, every single day.

I need to go get your book. Hey there...I am a writer too. Just got published for the first time. My youngest has autism. Looking forward to reading more of you.

You suck. Could you possibly suck any more? No, you couldn't.
