CP at Large: The Moment I Knew
http://cpatlarge.blogspot.com/2011/11/moment-i-knew.html
Ruminations on life, the universe and everything (with thanks to Douglas Adams). Wednesday, November 09, 2011. The Moment I Knew. This is a modified replay of an earlier announcement of my most recent publication. The editor is sponsoring a blog roll during the month of November and I simply must participate as thanks for all her hard work putting this book together. The Moment I Knew: Reflections from Women on Life’s Defining Moments. Is the second anthology in Sugati Publications Reflection from Women.

CP at Large: All good things...

Ruminations on life, the universe and everything (with thanks to Douglas Adams). Wednesday, May 09, 2012. I’ve been beating myself up over not writing, which only makes everything worse. What has normally been my life, my escape, has become drudgery and a bludgeon. No more. As of today, I’m giving myself permission not. To write. In fact, after this post, I’m not allowing. I’ll consider why I love to write, why I must. I expect I’ll return to my blog eventually, but who knows? I may find my writing veeri...

CP at Large: You live and learn. At any rate, you live. ~ Douglas Adams

Ruminations on life, the universe and everything (with thanks to Douglas Adams). Wednesday, April 18, 2012. You live and learn. At any rate, you live. As I was debating my blog topic for this week, I realized how many of my recent musings have been on “lessons learned.” A running joke between my oldest and dearest friend (next to Hubby, of course) has always been that by middle age we’d have all the answers. Thanks to the Mad Anthony Writers Conference. Listen. And learn. What have you learned today?

CP at Large: Yay?
http://cpatlarge.blogspot.com/2012/05/yay.html
Ruminations on life, the universe and everything (with thanks to Douglas Adams). Wednesday, May 02, 2012. For the first time in sixteen months, Wednesday is nearly over and I haven’t posted a blog entry. Such is the state of my writing life these days. I’m well and truly stuck. Well-meaning writer friends parrot my words of advice right back at me, words offered so glibly when they found themselves in similar straits: just write! One word, then another. Doesn’t matter what, just start. I need to find you...

Ruminations on life, the universe and everything (with thanks to Douglas Adams). Wednesday, November 23, 2011. If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance. If you simply love holidays, don't read this. I don't want to ruin your joy with my pessimistic realism. This year I’m trying to focus more on the intangibles, to reclaim some level of contentment by concentrating on family. As long as that term involves Hubby and our two children with their respective partner...In thei...

Ruminations on life, the universe and everything (with thanks to Douglas Adams). Wednesday, April 23, 2014. It’s been a long hiatus, I know, but I really have been writing, and learning, and exploring new opportunities since my last post. I’ve finished another novel, continued querying agents, published a few more short pieces, and now here I am – back again. Will be released by Deadly Writes Publishing. And we’re encouraged to share our entries for comment from other participants. So here goes:. Karma&#...

CP at Large: The illusion of control
http://cpatlarge.blogspot.com/2012/04/illusion-of-control.html
Ruminations on life, the universe and everything (with thanks to Douglas Adams). Wednesday, April 04, 2012. The illusion of control. Three hours later she raised the matter again, insisting we debate how and why it happened, where the problem started, and who was to blame (in so many words). I reiterated my earlier explanation of what I thought happened, added yet another apology for the confusion, and steered the conversation to a new topic. But now it really bothered me. The illusion of control. As muc...
