Life is what happens between blog posts, and by looking at the time lapsed between my last blog post and this, you can tell I've had a lot of "life" happening. The week before Willy Wonka opened, my wonderful mother-in-law passed away after a painful illness. She was absolutely the funniest person I've ever known, and so full of life that she never really will leave us. Part of life is death, I know, but it can leave you speechless.
And part of life is . . . life. We are expecting our eleventh child in the spring, so I'm writing like mad to get ahead of deadlines. Which brings me to some good writing news!
I've been hired as a staff writer for knowonder! online magazine! So please watch for my stories there. It's a fabulous concept. Check it out!
Our local community theater just presented It's a Wonderful Life, the Radio Show. My teenage daughter played Mary, and I couldn't help but bawl a little when we all sang Auld Lang Syne. For all it's ups and downs, heartaches and tears, the joys win out; it really is a wonderful life. I wish you all the merriest of Christmases and resolve to blog more in the New Year!
Wonderful news! And I'm so sorry about your Mother in law. Have a great holiday!
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle, new follower here, nice to meet you =)
ReplyDeleteOur community did It's a Wonderful Life, the radio show last year and I absolutely loved it. And, believe it or not, I had never seen It's a Wonderful Life, but I thought the play was a great introduction and I've since purchased the original movie for regular, yearly viewing ;)
Congrats on the position at Knowonder and on expecting your eleventh child. Whew, when do you find time to write?
Hi! Isn't it a great show?! It always helps me put things in perspective during the holidays. Thanks for your congrats, and to answer your question, I write at night! (Often later than I should!)
ReplyDeleteMichelle, I'm so sorry to hear about your mother-in-law. Sad news. Your daughter looks ADORABLE in the play. What a great story to be involved in. Super news about your new writing and the baby. Much happiness and health to you in 2012.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Leslie! Life is so bittersweet sometimes. Here's to great writing news for both of us this year!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your news, Michelle. We get a very mixed bag at times, don't we? Wishing you all the best~
ReplyDeleteThanks, Amanda! I'm wishing you much joy and success in 2012!
