Hello readers. As you can see my site is not blacked out in protest of SOPA and/or PIPA. This does not mean I lack concerns regarding the pending legislation (I've already contacted some Congress persons) just that I don't see a need to black out my site over it; also I don't know how. I don't like the potential for abuse, or the idea that fans of my own work would be hesitant to share their enjoyment out of fear of what might happen. I'm lucky to have a great deal of control over my work but many writers and musicians are not so fortunate. Hopefully if enough people contact their Congressional representatives to express their very reasonable concerns, the entire issue will slow down and be given the consideration it deserves.
Moving on to a more pleasant topic...my daughter has been saying some cute things lately. I share them for any of my fellow writers who might need help writing dialogue for toddlers. Among her latest gems are:
"Mama, leave me alone. I can't play with you." - when I was trying to get her to stay with me rather than follow her father to the upper floor of the library.
"You Mama!"- when I was gently chiding her for her behavior in the library. (It was her choice to go there, yet she decided not to behave. Go figure.)
"Mom? Dad? I think I'm tired." - around bedtime.
"Ooh, banana! Share with Emily." - seeing her brother with a banana (yes, she did get one of her own).
She regularly says cute things. These are the only ones I can remember at present. I keep a file on the family computer of adorable things she's said so that I won't forget all of them. I figure it's the least I can do considering that, as the fourth child in the family, her baby book is practically barren of information.
That is all for right now. I'm thinking of posting a bit more often. Headaches are still plaguing me (though they are improving, and boy am I using plenty of parentheses today!).
Happy reading and writing.
