I do have another project going. I am working on a nonfiction book about stay-at-home moms. I just finished the proposal and now the hard work begins. I hope to finish the book by spring. I checked out your blog and I love your style. The most important advice I can think to give you is to always be appreciative of and open to criticism. Your writing must speak to the readers or you'll never earn a living with it. That doesn't me that you have to act on all criticism, but it's important to always accept it with an open mind. I've bookmarked your blog and I look forward to reading more. What kind of projects are you working on?twinsmomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07009305623601049437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352904249815125802.post-32548211191386908092008-09-10T13:38:00.000-04:002008-09-10T13:38:00.000-04:00I stumbled onto this after somewhat randomly looking into twinspeak, or twinese (I got curious and am a brilliant procrastinator). I like your writing, and enjoyed reading your brief bio-- something nice about happening onto a total stranger's writing who you in some ways should never have encounterd. As a young woman who thought she would write (and make art, and join the circus) and does but has found it hard to balance it all with paying the bills, I just wanted to share my appreciation for your own efforts to keep up your craft amidst a considerably full and demanding life. I know you probably have just barely enough time for your writing here, but have you got any other projects in the works? and/or advice to a young full-time working writer?<BR/>Thanks!Ponyboyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06596564276722814511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352904249815125802.post-75890468246954092032008-08-14T07:07:00.000-04:002008-08-14T07:07:00.000-04:00Now that would be my approach as well - good enough for me. What we were given (in advice from other twin moms) is to ignore requests from parents if not verbalised. Ie ignore book, wait for them to "ask "you to read.cathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15788508986252339771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352904249815125802.post-66248696714548422022008-08-13T01:18:00.000-04:002008-08-13T01:18:00.000-04:00Early Development has given me and the doctor lots of info on language development and twins. They are generally "delayed" but nothing that is of a concern because they are twins. That article you pulled out is probably pretty accurate.Lexihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02459443384505523257noreply@blogger.com
