I wanted to give you something special. I left a little piece of my soul over here - it just felt better to put it somewhere so beautiful. Rebel Mama is nearly finished. Finally. You’ll be the first to know when it is available. I also wanted to let you know that I will be pulling [...]
Rebel Mama is funded – with 9 days to go!
October 16, 2012 · by · 2 Comments
On Sunday, glory of glories, Rebel Mama hit its funding goal of $2000. WOO! Seriously. I was walking to the coffee shop to go lock myself in and write for a couple of hours, but I made that dreadful productivity mistake of opening my email. Lo and behold, I was sitting a mere $40 away [...]
How to Find The People Who Won’t Let You Fail

It was 10 minutes in SOBCon Friday morning, and Liz Strauss was already crying. Intense. That’s kind of what this conference is like, though. So much of it was business basics, and yet, I found myself struggling to answer so many questions. For the uninitiated, SOBCon is a unique conference in that it is small, [...]

Writing the copy for the Rebel Mama Kickstarter, a little voice kept whispering in my ear. I’m not ready. Not prepared. Who am I to write this book? What if someone calls me out? I just shared the giant mess that happens to be my past on stage in front of 600 people – including [...]

Is Kickstarter the New Gatekeeper?

Since March, I’ve been working on Rebel Mama, my latest book. I started it when I went on maternity leave because I knew I’d need a project. (Hey, gimme a break. Wearing a baby and writing like a fiend two weeks post-baby is just how I roll.) What started as a way to entertain myself [...]

Well, life’s been busy to say the least. I’m managing to keep the balls in the air… but I keep forgetting to write about where the damn balls are. Now, to prevent the conversation from deteriorating into jokes about balls, here’s what’s been up lately. Babies! Good golly, I love my babies. I’ve been spending tons [...]
The Hardest Thing

Writing this book is fucking hard. There’s so much going on. Between two babies, my relationship, my job, and helping my partner get a foundation underneath his business castle in the sky, there’s not much time for my book. It’s in the back of every conversation. Does what they are saying back my theory? Are [...]
