Going With It

It's a quiet lull time for me right now, a fiction-writing-heavy time, which is great in itself, but doesn't bode well for much content in the here-space. It's all right, ebb and flow. Someday I might be able to flow in both places at once, but I'm not quite up to that yet.

Reading of note: I finished Heather B. Armstrong's very funny and highly emotional It Sucked and I Cried, and just in time to hear the news of the birth of her second daughter - congratulations, Heather and family.

I'm getting ready to charter the waters of The Purity Myth, post-its at the ready! And I got an email from the library this morning informing me that After the Moment is ready to be picked up. If you know how I feel about Garret Freymann-Weyr, I think you know how I took this news. There may have been a happy dance involved. Finally, I've been saving Diary of a Chav for my ladies' beach trip this coming weekend. Depending on how much the other ladies feel like chatting, I may have a review next week.

Back now to following the flow.

I used to follow Heather on her Dooce website, which was funny and well-written, and I empathize with her struggles with post partum depression, which I had after the birth of my second. But what came to bug me at some point was that I got no sense that she READ anything. She never wrote about books, and so her funny came to feel to me like it lacked substance, so I went off in search of sites that were funny AND about books and other stuff.
