On the everyday reality of being a work-at-home writer and mother.
How to head off hackers.
Oh, my gosh, I definitely have my list. Today I’m submitting my blog to DMOZ. It’s taken only 4.5 years. I’ve been meaning to rewrite my About page for … um … a year or two? And my sidebar … oy.
What bloggy tasks have you been putting off and/or forgetting?
Right there, the title, isn’t it the perfect phrase for a parent and a writer? The panic of never, the panic of never finishing a project, of never starting one, of never again having time to write, or never having the time you need.

I think about this a lot since I blog about hot-button issues like homebirth and alternative healthcare and unschooling.
