kids (2 of them are 1 year old twins…kill me now). The question I am asked more
than, “are those twins?” (No lady, the hospital was having a buy one, get one free sale!) is, “How do you do it?” I've thought about the best way to answer that question and I've decided it's all about one word: priorities. Sounds simplistic, and it is, but it's also true.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When my kid-count doubled
overnight a year ago, I’ve found that prioritizing the can’t-give-ups and the can-give-ups
has made all the difference. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Can't-give-ups:<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">I have to take care
of my kids.</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Duh. I have to be a good mom. If I fail here, I fail everywhere. So that doesn't budge. It is my top priority. The diapers, the screaming, the fighting, the whining, the oatmeal-flung-farther-than-an-olympic-shotput and every if-I-step-on-one-more-cherrio-I'm-gonna-lose-my-chiz moment... for every reason, it is the most important thing I do. I lump religion in here too. You gotta put the Big Man first. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">I will not give up taking
care of my appearance on the daily. </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This straight-up comes from surviving cancer. There was a
point during chemo when I had no hair, no eyelashes, and even my fingernails
were falling off. Forget changing out of yoga pants. It hurt too much move. Not only
that, but the double mastectomy left me feeling ugly, androgynous and
alien-like. If Voldermort and a non-anatomically correct mannequin had a baby,
it would look like I did. As soon as I started to get my health back, doing my hair
and makeup and getting dressed were a luxury that I didn’t take for granted. I
still don’t. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">Hair, makeup, real clothes (not nice or super pretty clothes- Old Navy or Target sponsor 80% of my wardrobe)- it's a priority. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">I should add that I cheat here. I have a pixie cut so it literally takes me 10 minutes to make my hair look like I cared. </span></div>

that taking care of yourself is not a selfish practice. He usually yells it as
I’ve already been sitting in a 100-degree hot-yoga room for an hour on the verge of heat stroke,
but I appreciate that he says it, because it is true. Everyone needs to
exercise. It needs to be a priority. Your body and brain don’t run right
without it. And of course, having your body betray you so wholly and making
cancer in the first place reminds you that your body made cancer once,
it can do it again. I have to exercise. I do yoga, ballet and Zumba four nights a week after the kids are in bed. </div>

writing.</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m not the most amazing author ever born. I’m never going
to be a billionaire because of my books. I don’t care. Writing feeds me. It
feeds my need for accomplishment. It makes me feel good about myself and it
even sometimes feeds others’ love of literature. It is a relationship that has
given me hope and excitement through some very dark times. Even though it is
time consuming and I usually have no time to give, I have to write. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">I have to work. </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I just do. I live in a really nice city in Orange County. We
are trying to buy a house in this really nice city in Orange County. Working
from home and making a steady, legitimate income and saving for retirement is
just something that comes with the territory. I deal with it. <br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Those are my can't-give-ups. The things I have to work

fit. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>I can give up the pursuit of a perfect home</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is organized and things get done that need to get done,
but most rooms have kid-caused messes. It bothers me less and less as life gets
busier and busier. I’ve come to peace with not having a perfect house in this
season of life. I’m not sure I’d get along with a mom who can keep a perfect
house. They just aren’t my people. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">I can give up some
sleep. </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I hate 6:20 am for obvious reasons. It’s 6-freaking-20 am.
But that’s when I get up. I go to sleep around midnight. The babies wake me up
once or twice through the night. 6:20 am comes and I just want to punch night
me for staying up for those extra ten minutes looking at my Instagram feed. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kWUurrr68-c/VwWWQY07FRI/AAAAAAAAALY/CtbKOqkPeGkChX4qYjM4hOtMzi3iqtPaQ/s1600/time.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="89" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kWUurrr68-c/VwWWQY07FRI/AAAAAAAAALY/CtbKOqkPeGkChX4qYjM4hOtMzi3iqtPaQ/s200/time.png" width="200" /></a>I could get away with sleeping in until 7:30 am and still
get everyone out the door to school and work, and I did that for months after the
babies were born, but then I sacrificed taking care of myself. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My husband would leave for work and come home
eight hours later and I looked exactly the same as I did when he left. Maybe I had put a bra on, maybe. It wasn’t
a good look. So I put myself as a priority, getting up an hour early to put
myself together because made me feel better. I do it for me. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">I can give up some
TV.</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Not all TV. I’m not insane. I need TV. I
binge watch a billion things on Netflix while I’m cleaning, organizing, running
or grading papers that I don’t really have to think about too hard. But I did
give up sitting in front of the TV and watching most shows. In fact, I couldn't tell you what the actors in my favorite shows look like because I'm just listening to the dialogue and not watching the screen when I am "watching" tv. I still miss me
some Amazing Race. And I never know who the Bachelor chose as he waits to be on
Dancing with the Stars, and I honestly don't know if America's Next Top Model is even on anymore, but tv got notched down on the ol’
priorities list so I could make way for more important things.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">I can give up some chill
time. </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My time to relax will come as the kids get better at not
dying or killing each other if left alone for two minutes. Literally, the babies watch for me to turn my back so they can perform death-defying feats. And I should just give up and build an MMA ring in my backyard for my two older boys. But to get work done and to make sure everyone is alive at bedtime, there is no nap time or putting my feet up for a little bit. It'll come later. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I hate 6:20 am. Really, what a terrible time of the day. But it represents how my life had to change so everything fits better. Changing my priorities lets me conquer this little world of mine every single
day.<br />
<br />
How do YOU make everything fit as you conquer your world every day? </div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The
end of pregnancy brings with it a myriad of things- mood swings, stretch-marks,
weird symptoms that couldn’t possibly be related to pregnancy and yet it is (Is
my nose really getting bigger???). The end of pregnancy also brings with it a
whole lot of attention. And for some reason, the bigger the belly, the more
attention you tend to attract. I’ve found that both strangers and acquaintances
alike all tend to ask/say the same things to me, so in case you were wondering
what a mom pregnant with twins hears on any given day, wonder no more, friends!

There’s two babies in there. Back off.</span></div>

kicking the other and waking them up. I'm worried they've already formed some
sort of vendetta against each other... or against me for not expanding fast
enough. So usually I just cat nap between urgent sprints to the bathroom as the
babies train for MMA on my bladder. </span></div>

on your energy is so immense. And that’s not even mentioning the mental toll
getting ready for two infants takes. The worry, the fear, the doubt, the terror…
But, on the other hand, I split my calories three-ways, so I really don’t ever
feel guilty over eating half of a chocolate cake. So, I got that going for me. </span></div>

and pulling it out for these people to see, just so they are aware of the

mom’s impending adventure. Any girl that finds out they are pregnant with two

any words of encouragement that keep me from going nuts. </span></div>

Now for the rest of you with some time on your hands,
here’s the story of what cancer survivors go through to have kids after chemo: </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, losing my hair
didn’t seem like that big of a deal. Hair grows back. Even losing my health for
close to a year wasn’t that big of a sacrifice if it meant being able to be
cancer-free at the end of it. The double mastectomy was a pretty big blow, but
hey, it wasn’t like I was losing an arm or a leg. I would deal with it. </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
By all accounts, I was doing pretty well with all of it.
I was fine. </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Until they told me I would most likely not be able to
have kids afterwards. </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
That was most decidedly NOT fine. </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Cancer could only push me so far. Giving up future
children was over the line. WAY over. </div>

My only option was egg retrieval through invitro before
chemo started, since chemotherapy kills human eggs. I kept having a vision of
myself on an island with volcano errupting. I saw myself putting my future children
out onto a life raft and sending them out into the safety of the ocean while I
stayed on the island to survive the erruption, or in this case, chemo.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
After countless hours of prayer, and some very loud
promptings from God (I don’t say that lightly, we had completely decided
against the procedure until Heavenly Father intervened), Kurt and I decided to
invest what little we had into the egg retrieval process that would save at
least the genetic starts to future children. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I came out of my double mastectomy and Kurt
started the shots the very next day while I was still in the hospital. </div>

About a month later, trying to heal from two amputations
and being pumped full of synthetic hormones, and just a few days before chemo started, I
had my egg retrieval procedure. It didn’t go well, but we got five embryos
frozen from it (most women can get 20-50 in one round, so five is actually
pretty crappy). </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNormal">
And then I didn’t really think about them again for a good
year-and-a-half. I was just trying to survive chemo and radiation. The doctors all said I needed to wait at least one year from
the end of chemo, so that’s what I did. I hit that mark and children all of the
sudden became the most important thing to take care of. </div>

We started the process, which was more money than we anticipated and WAY more shots than should be allowed,
and had the embryo transfer at the beginning of August. We put in two embryos,
because that’s what you do. If you only transfer one and it doesn’t take, it is another
few thousand dollars to get your body ready again. So yeah, you put in two. </div>

So, if you haven't yet, this would be a GREAT time to buy The Others on Amazon, since formula is expensive... just putting that out there. Or tell EVERYONE you know about it.<br />

What she finds may shock you!Yes, I'm trying to be social media trendy with the title of this post. In fact, what you are about to see may not shock you at all...if you know my husband.This is a tribute to the one of the best men I know. I was smart enough to get in on the ground floor and say yes when he asked the big question.<br />
<br />
I followed Kurt around for a week snapping iPhone pictures of how he spends his time. There were a few times when he caught me and said, "Did you just take a picture of me, stalker?" I would deny it and he would forget about it...because he's a guy.<br />

So here is my Father's Day tribute to my wonderful husband. Because no matter what he does, no matter where he goes, you will always find him right back next to me. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> You won’t find him drinking at the table</b><br />
<b>Rolling dice or staying out ’til three</b><br />
<b>You won’t ever find him be unfaithful</b><br />
<b>You will find him, you’ll find him next to me</b></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>(Kurt comes home from the gym at 6:45 am, just in time to make the kids breakfast...while I sleep for another 25 minutes) </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>You won’t find him trying to chase the devil</b><br />
<b>For money, fame, for power, out of greed</b><br />
<b>You won’t ever find him where the rest go</b><br />
<b>You will find him, you’ll find him next to me.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i> (If he isn't at home or work, he's giving service at our church. Yeah, I took a picture at church.)</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>When the money’s spent and all my friends have vanished</b><br />
<b>And I can’t seem to find no help or love for free</b><br />
<b>I know there’s no need for me to panic</b><br />
<b>Cause I’ll find him, I’ll find him next to me.</b><i> </i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i> </i>When the skies are grey and all the doors are closing</b><br />
<b>And the rising pressure makes it hard to breathe</b><br />
<b>When all I <span style="background-color: white;">need's </span>a hand to stop the tears from falling</b><br />
<b>I will find him, I’ll find him next to me.</b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> When the end has come and buildings falling down fast</b><br />

(also let it be known that the longer you live, the more life tends to mess with your loved ones- be ye warned). Their struggle and mine brought to mind an experience I had a few years ago. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I was in a Children’s museum and happened to be there on
the day the chicken eggs in the incubator were hatching. I do believe it is
somewhere in the bylaws of opening up a children’s museum- you MUST have an
incubator full of chicken eggs at all times.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I was a new mom at the time and it completely broke my
heart to see those little creatures struggling so greatly to crack through
their shell. I even nervously looked around for a farmer, a doctor, some sort
of egg-ologist, ANYONE who would be there to help these little fuzzy babies out
of their white-walled predicaments. </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I thought, couldn’t I just reach in and crack each egg
and send them waddling on their way? Why are we allowing these guys to struggle
this much? Shouldn’t someone be boiling some water? Bringing towels? What else
do they send men to do in old movies when women are having babies?</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The elderly volunteer noticed my look of panic and said,
“You know, they have to go through that. If we helped them out of their shells,
they would most likely die. Breaking through their shell gives it the strength
it needs to survive. You have to let it struggle.”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I’ve since learned that chicks are not alone. Even the
struggle a butterfly must go through when it forces itself out of its cocoon is
the only way to get fluid into its new wings. Without that struggle, the
butterfly dies.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Sometimes the act of struggling for animals isn’t
optional. It makes them strong.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
It, unfortunately, it is the same with us. The struggle
makes us grow. The struggle makes us tougher. It is a refining process that can
make us better humans on the other side. I try to remember this example when
things get difficult, when life is unfair, when people are disappointing, when
cancer decides to mess with some amazing people.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Fight on ladies. Fight on friends. Whatever is in your
way, let the struggle make you even better, stronger, and of course, cooler on the other side. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

Yep, it’s the hair. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
And come to think of it…</div>

What the crap, Disney? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
My astute little six-year old made the connection a few days
ago. I now have the haircut of a villain. And whose not to say that I have the
brains of one as well little six-year-old who points out that mommy looks like a
bad guy? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The toll booth guy at the cancer center stopped me the other
day and told me that I looked like trouble. He must not have seen the mustard
stain on my shirt from packing kid’s lunches, the dry cleaning in the backseat
I had to drop off for my husband, the dirty SUV I was driving or the fact that
I was leaving THE CANCER CENTER. But I digress.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It has been 365 days since my cancer diagnosis. 365 days
full of tragedy of the deepest kind, amazing personal heights, and come to
think of it, almost 365 really bad hair days (which meant looking a lot like
this for the better part of a year).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So, I’m taking joy in my chance to rock something of an
unconventional ‘do for a while, even if it means I look like, well… trouble…<br />
<br />
P.S. If you see someone who looks a heck of a lot like me robbing a bank in the near future, just remember- the hair made me do it. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ve never really thought of myself as petty. I never imagined
I was the type to want to go to Costco, buy their largest flat of eggs, google-map
a stranger’s house (with street-view of course) and throw the whole flat of
said eggs at that stranger’s google-mapped front door…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But, here we are. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I got a “meh” review the other day. And as I stated above,
chickens from the tri-county area were put on notice to start peak production-
I had a crazy urge to hunt this person (or at least their front door) DOWN! Cooler
heads prevailed (i.e. my husband reminding me that eggs can get expensive when
you are buying them by the forklift-full), but it was still an uncomfortable
experience. Since when have I ever had perfect strangers rate me on a daily
basis? Last time I checked, I’m not on Tinder (look it up, old people). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This little experience taught me a few very important
things: </div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">-<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span>- I have some aggressive tendencies I didn’t know existed.
It might be fun to explore that… </div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">-<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span>- I am still here. I got a ho-hum review and I kept
on existing. This actually means that a bad review really isn’t the end of
the world. I sort of thought it would be.</div>
-I am out there in the marketplace. I did
enough marketing and interviews in the right places that a random stranger at
least tried my book. I’m counting that as a win. <br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
So here I am, toughening up, learning, building, ugh, character.
Boy, do I ever hate building character. It never includes cupcakes. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

Yep, New Year. Yep, obligatory resolutions post. (Insert bored sigh here). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I post them here so ya'll can keep me honest. Nothing gets results like pledging in front of a crowd. So here we go! 10 steps to
a 2014 that beats the PANTS off 2013:<br />
<span style="color: white;">.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
10. I’m not willing to say that I will not <u>ever</u> take
a spoon to a can of frosting or jar of hot fudge (because that is just
ridiculous), but I want to maybe do it a little less this year.<br />
<span style="color: white;">. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
9. I got a ukulele for Christmas. By the end of the year, I <u>will</u>
play “Dancing With Myself” by Billy Idol on it like a freaking rock star. And
if I am brave, I’ll even post the video here.<br />
<span style="color: white;">. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
8. I will finish a good, working draft of book 2 this year. Yikes.<br />
<span style="color: white;">. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
7. I’m going to start putting my cell phone in the trunk so
I can’t reach it. I swear, no amount of public service announcements can sway
me from the siren song of a text, even while I’m behind the wheel. I will break
this bad habit!<br />
<span style="color: white;">. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
6. I want to get to bed before midnight at least a few times
a week. Seriously, if morning me ever met night me, she’d punch her right in
the face for being such a night owl.<br />
<span style="color: white;">. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
5. I will learn to make a few Thai dishes on my own. When
you call your favorite Thai place and they answer it, “Hey Kristin! Do you want
the usual?” you are probably calling them too often.<br />
<span style="color: white;">. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4. I will do more fun things with my two boys. I spent most
of 2013 bald, sick and laying “mostly dead” (Princess Bride reference, look it
up kids) on the couch. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jake and Kaden
won’t even know what kind of fun bomb hit them this year. New year, new mom.<br />
<span style="color: white;">. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3. A lot of people put, “I want to do something every day
that scares me” as their New Year’s resolution. BEEN THERE, DONE THAT. I fought
cancer every day of 2013 AND launched a book (putting yourself out there and getting
reviews on anything you do is freaking SCARY business!). And sure, the scary
stuff makes you stronger. But I can only live on the edge of my seat so long. So,
in 2014, I want less scary. Some scary- more book reviews, speaking engagements,
book signings, being a mom on a daily basis, but less massive life-changing
freak outs for months on end. And less shots. I HATE shots.<br />
<span style="color: white;">. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will learn how Twitter and social medial work. Right now, Twitter feed looks like a bunch of scratches the International Space Station found on a
distant planet. I’ll make sense of it and use it to my advantage as I do my
author thing.<br />

1. I will be grateful for every single freaking day. Nothing
puts life into perspective like almost losing it. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So, those are my resolutions for an awesome 2014. This year is going
to rock. What are your resolutions? I wanna hear them! </div>

different B-list singers who have remade this song (I looking at you Amy Grant,
Jessica Simpson, three very annoying talking Chipmunks). <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And I agree with them- about 95% of the time. But,
the following list lays out the 5% of the holiday I just cannot stand. And, I
write this, my husband is reading over my shoulder calling me the Grinch who
killed Christmas. Thanks Babe…hope you don’t make this list next year…</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">1.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span>The Clapper and Chia pet commercials- your
parent companies have not sprung for new advertising since 1983. It may be time
to put these Christmas classics to pasture. Sorry Cha-cha-cha Chia, I’m not
fee-fee-feeling you anymore. Though, I will say, 7-year-old me will always want
a clapper. </div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">2.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span>Christmas stories- When I was about 8 or 9, my
mom and dad thought it would be a good idea to tell me the story of the gift of
the Magi. You know the one- the poor married man sells his watch to buy a hair
comb for his wife. The poor wife sells her hair to buy a chain for the husband’s
watch, etc. This started my very frosty relationship with Christmas stories
(pun intended). They are 99% depressing. Someone is dying, someone doesn’t have
any money, someone can’t buy presents…and someone who is listening to these
stories is very, very upset by it all. Namely, me! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">3.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span>Christmas themed clothes- You know when you go
on vacation to a different country and buy all the local fashion because you
think it is just amazing and you get it home only to realize you look
ridiculous in a Tongan sarong in the middle of Michigan? Christmas clothes feel
a little like that to me. The Santa PJs, the cute Christmas-y sweatshirt- they
always lure me in. Pre- December 25<sup>th</sup>, it is all fun and festive
good times in my fun and festive clothes. But <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>it all looks rather foolish in the harsh light
of December 26th. Stay strong Kristin! Don’t buy those snowman flannel pants!
You’ll regret it! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">4.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span>Two words: Winter finale. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s the TV networks’ fancy way of saying, “even
though you FINALLY are on vacation and have time to sit at home and watch all
your favorite shows, they are not going to be on. They are on a break. Instead,
please watch the Frosty the Snowman cartoon from 1963 for the fourteenth time
this season.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All I want for Christmas is my TV shows back.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">5.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span>BUT quite possibly the worst atrocity ever
foisted upon the holidays is…And I barely have the fortitude to write about it…
The Christmas Shoes song. If you haven’t heard this musical travesty, count
yourself one of the luckiest people in the world. Don’t google the lyrics. You’ll
regret it. For some reason, the geniuses behind this song thought that nothing
says Christmas spirit like a soon-to-be orphan child begging for shoes for his
dying mom so she can wear them to meet Jesus. To the writers of this song- you
have no soul.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
All joking aside, have a wonderful and happy holiday season.
Enjoy your favorite 95% of this time of year and drop me a line to let me know
what makes your 5% list! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My book has been out for a couple of months now and I’ve
seen some very interesting patterns developing. Here is my list of ten very
strange things about having a published book: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst">
10. Readers finish the book it took me 4
EXCRUCIATING years to get written and published in 3 days. It should take
longer, or maybe be more painful than that. I almost feel like saying, “Go
back and read it again! You didn’t suffer with me enough yet!”</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
9. People ask you to sign things that are
not bills, checks, receipts or loan documents.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
8. People ask about your process. I should probably
come up with a better answer than, “I spent a very long time either staring at
my blank screen or looking at Facebook until a few disjointed ideas came
together.” </div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
7. Only people severely addicted to online
shopping visit Amazon.com more than I do. Except I am only looking at my book’s
page hoping for either a new review or my standing on Amazon’s best seller list
to change. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
6. You get introduced as an author. I
should make myself a nametag just to make it more official I think. </div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
5. I’m supposed to have AND update a
Twitter account. Twitter makes me feel like an old lady because I’m constantly
mad about the lack of punctuation and run-on sentences I see on there dagnabit.
Kids these days…</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
4. You realize the characters and
storylines that have driven you nutso for years are now living in other people’s
heads and, for better or worse, your work is now part of that person’s literary
history.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
3. You do a google search on how to write a
screenplay. FYI- I don’t know that any good screenplay has started with the
author googling “how to write a screenplay”.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
2. The day your Facebook fan page gets
joined by someone you actually don’t know is a BIG DAY! </div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">1.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span>1. People start asking for a sequel. What the…? You
want me to do what?? I have to do this again??? </div>

There wasn’t a parade. There weren’t fireworks. There wasn’t
even a hint of dancing elephants anywhere in the vicinity. But it doesn’t
matter. Even without a drum line present to witness the occasion, as of 2:00 pm
today, I walked out of the cancer ward, done with active treatment for stage 2
triple negative breast cancer. 18 weeks of chemotherapy, 28 radiation doses (with
the resulting radiation burns), and one massive surgery completed. Boo yah. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
At some point this afternoon, the universe quietly handed me
back the keys to my life. Cancer is no longer in the driver’s seat dictating
exactly what I can and cannot do. Can I leave the state now? Yep, I no longer
have to be at the hospital every single day for treatment. Can I start thinking
about bringing my hairdryer and flat iron out of retirement? Oh, you better
believe it. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Could I go a whole day
without scrubbing my hands with Purell for the slight chance I am in the
vicinity of someone with the sniffles? Absolutely. Catching a cold won’t mean
possible hospitalization anymore, it would just mean an excuse to take a hefty
dose of Nyquil at night (Nyquil sleep is great sleep). </div>

This is a big deal. It is a wonderful, amazing, scary, crazy big deal. I count myself a million times lucky to have a good prognosis right now. I'm fully aware many people don't come out of this. This feels like a second chance. That kind of thing, if you are smart, changes your life forever for the better. </div>

So, what’s next? What do you do with yourself after you’ve
had your life run by the big C for a whole year and all of the sudden you are
master and commander of your own body again? What do you do? I'm not sure yet. All I can tell you it is gonna be big. And it
is gonna start with a party. Now if I can just raise enough money for some
elephants… </div>

</tbody></table>
I got a call from my oncologist’s nurse yesterday. She was
questioning my use of Ambien (a sleeping pill) Spanish Inquisition style. I had
a 30 day supply that only lasted me 28 days. She was, in so many words, gravely
concerned that I had turned into a pill-popping druggy. I launched into a lengthy
explanation about how the nights when I was extremely sick from the chemo, I’d
take another half-dose at 3 am to get me through to the morning, panicked words
spilling from my mouth as I tried to make her understand. . . But then I
remembered something. I’m over 30, I’m successful (compared to a homeless
person), I am NOT a druggie and I don’t really have to explain myself to her. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
At 22 years of age, a conversation like this would have had
me all sweaty and scared, like I had been called into the principal’s office. I
would have done everything I could to make sure that random nurse knew I wasn’t
abusing my medication. 32-year-old me knows who I am and knows that the
aforementioned conversation wasn’t worth my time. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And I told her that.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This got me thinking. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What is okay when you are twenty-something but
not okay when you are thirty-something? What can you deal with when you are 20
but that same thing becomes un-deal-with-able when you cross that momentous
line of being 30 years of age? Here’s my short list (because I think I could go
on forever):</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">-<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Anyone
under the age of 80 calling me “hun” or “sweetheart”</b>: Okay when you are 22,
not okay when you are 32. And<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>boys, to
you I am “Ma’am”, as in “yes, ma’am, I will hold the door open for you because
I see you wrestling with two crazy children. Do you need help out to your car?”
</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">-<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Using
text language:</b> 20 and under? I chalk it up to immaturity and it being the
cool thing to do. Fine. Anyone over 30 who texts me BRB, TY, or the letter U
instead of you is not okay in my book. Plus, don’t we all have SIRI or the Windows
equivalent now who writes our texts for us? Come on, our conversation is worth
the extra three seconds. I deserve the whole “you”! Disclaimer: LOL is okay. We
who are over 30 invented LOL. We are keeping it. </div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">-<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Sub-par
service at a restaurant:</b> At 22, if the food wasn’t perfect or if a waiter was
sucky, I’d just shrug my shoulders and soldier on. But 30-me? You better bet I’m
calling your backside over, waiter, to fix the food mistake. And if it is you,
waiter, who is sucking, I’m old enough to feel obligated to call over your
manager so you learn your lesson.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">-<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">A lack of
life insurance:</b> “Don’t think about tomorrow, let’s live for today!” said
every 20-year-old always. And that’s fun and romantic for a few years. But I
think you can only carpe diem through life until you hit about 26, and then
your back starts hurting. Shortly after that, you need to buy some life
insurance… and have a job with health insurance…and have a car to buy some car
insurance for.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">-<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Man jewelry:</b> The cute surfer wearing a
bunch of woven bracelets around each wrist? Fine. The dangerous looking young
guy on the back of a motorcycle with gauged ears? Not my style, but
understandable, young man, if are in your twenties. But ANY piece of man jewelry
outside of a wedding ring on a guy over 30? Shut it down! By the way, gauged
ear guy, your ears are gonna look KILLER when you are fifty.<br />
So what is your take? What is no longer okay when you reach 30? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also, does anyone else remember when this blog used to be
about writing? I’ll get back on that. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s November, 2012. <br />
My husband and I are lying on our bed after putting the kids to sleep.<br />
I had a feeling. <br />
“Big things are coming,” I say out loud, more to the ceiling fan than to my
husband, who is already snoring. <br />
“Big things,” I repeat. I couldn’t shake the portentous feeling. <br />
And I was right. The next eight months have been Dickens-esque. It’s been one
of those it-was-the-best-of- times-it-was-the-worst-of-times situations in the
Bryant house. A cancer diagnosis, a publishing deal, emergency invitro,
mastectomy surgery, our ten-year anniversary, buying a chiropractic practice, chemo, getting down to the
change we had left in the house to buy that week’s groceries (who knew it was
so expensive to buy a chiropractic practice???), miracles the likes of which I
never thought I’d have the privilege to see... Like I said, the best of times,
worst of times. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
So now that the chemo is done, now that the practice is bought, now that my
shelves have food on them again, what have I learned? <br />
- Trials either break you or make you unbreakable. You get to choose. <br />
- Family is the biggest blessing of life. And if you’ve been nice, they’ll
stick around when you need them.<br />
- It is really important to have food storage. Life gets lean sometimes. The
extra cans of spaghetti sauce will come in handy. <br />
- Let art imitate life. My novel’s characters know a lot more about suffering
now that I do too. I’m a better writer after going through this last year. You
can’t teach that kind of life experience. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
- Chemo is so all-encompassing, it can even make things like donuts, chocolate
and frozen yogurt taste bad. And for a food-enthusiast like myself, that’s a
big deal.<br />
- If God leads you to it, He’ll get you through it. You never have to do
anything alone. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
Before we know it, it will be November, 2013. And while I’m hoping for a more
best-of-times situation for 2014, I wouldn’t trade this year for anything. Not
even for all the donuts in the world. And for me, that’s saying a lot. <br />

I should be looking forward to August. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Don’t get me wrong, it is going to be great for a lot of
reasons. But August is really starting to scare the proverbial pants off me.
Don’t worry, my real pants aren’t going anywhere. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

August will mark my husband’s and my 10 year anniversary. 10
blissful years of sunshine and butterflies and absolutely no frustration or
craziness ever… sure, let’s go with that… Together, we’ve done one Master’s
degree, one doctorate, three moves, two kids, one miscarriage, breast cancer and
a whole lot of work. All joking aside, it is a big thing in our little family’s
life and we are excited to reach that milestone together.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
August will also be my last round of chemotherapy. This is definitely
a “let’s rent an entire cruise ship, fill it with everyone we know and hire
Aerosmith, Britney Spears and every boy band from the late 90’s to perform for
us as we sail around the world in celebration” kind of deal (can you tell I’m a
mom and have no idea who is cool in music right now? Like, who the crap is 2 Chainz
and why are we letting him be famous?). But I am also a little afraid to walk
away from chemo. There is something comforting about having cancer poison
coursing through your veins even though the effects are ill indeed. When it
stops, your body is left back to its own devices. You know, the kind of devices
that grew the cancer in the first place. I’ve got mixed feelings about the end,
which makes it a little less exciting to be done with chemo. </div>

“And last, but certainly not least, my book releases in
August,” she said with a forced grin, the fear and trepidation plain in her
eyes. Yes, I’m starting to freak out. Having a book <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">about</i> to be published is loads of fun. It is a pinch glamorous and
really exciting to talk about. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But then
people read it. And the reviews start coming in. And that is when things get
real. You lay bare your soul and hope the general public doesn’t laugh at your
poor soul running around naked. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Maybe my publisher will let me write, “I am just getting
over cancer, please wait to post all negative reviews until the New Year,” on
the front cover of every copy sold. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Whether I’m ready or not, August is a-coming. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And things are about to get real…<br />

upcoming book. It was the first time anyone had done "research" on me
before actually meeting me. Unnervingly cool experience, by the way. But, I quickly
realized that her research hasn't uncovered anything very real about me. I am
more than where I graduated from grad school and my latest Facebook post. So
here they are, some very basic truths that give you a better idea of who I am…and
they are mostly about food…hmmm…</span></div>

- I love food. Eating is my favorite pastime. In fact, I don’t like going to
restaurants with anyone besides my husband because I feel like I can't enjoy my food the
way I want to for fear of social judgment. When I’m at the Olive Garden, I
want to go with someone who doesn’t think twice about me asking for a third basket
of breadsticks. On a related note, I love my very long-suffering husband.</span></div>

- You want me on your team when playing trivia games, I'm pretty good. Because of
this, people sometimes mistake me for being really smart. Not so. I know things
the things because I have a pretty good memory and I am on Google far too often.
<br />
- I loathe scary movies, scary stories, haunted houses...anything remotely spine
tingling. For me, seeing a ghost would be a worst-case-scenario situation and I
don't find watching my worst case scenario onscreen anything akin to fun. </span></div>

old movies or classic literature and reference them in deep conversations.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As I have been promoting my upcoming work, I have also

never minded being the subject of a cautionary tale, I thought I’d share some
of my bad choices if only to serve as a warning sign for future publishing
travelers: </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">“It’s finished,” I uttered in wonderment, staring at the blinking
cursor as I typed <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The End</i> at what I
believed was the conclusion of my manuscript. “Well, time to start shopping it

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">One of the biggest newbie mistakes I made was that I
finished my manuscript, and without the gut-wrenching editing process that I
now understand is necessary, started querying. Yes, there are a lot of agents
and publishers out there, but in the increasingly brutal publishing market, you
don’t want to close any doors by sending out anything but your best work. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Much like the lone sausage vendor trying to sell his
pork-laden products outside a vegetarian restaurant, not everyone is going to
want what you’ve got. You have to know your market and write specifically for
them. I spoke to a book promoter about what he could do to help me market and
he talked about the thousands of websites to which he could email blast my
synopsis. When I mentioned that my book might speak to a Christian audience, he
said, “Oh, that’s great! Having some kind of target audience makes my job about
300-times easier.” Lesson learned: Even if you are handing out your hotdogs for
free, if you aren’t targeting the right audience, no one’s gonna bite. Pun
intended.</span></div>

scripture is scripture, and I have not written scripture. I believe that God

may be writing something MUCH less important (and I do mean MUCH less), I
believe our Father in Heaven wants us to develop our talents. I also believe He
is willing to help us when we are doing something that is worthwhile. It
never occurred to me to pray for help with writing since I wasn’t writing
anything of a spiritual nature. I understand better now how happy it makes our
Father when we develop the talents he gives us. When the work is clean and
uplifting, anyone can ask for help. And help will come. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Every single day, parents do their darndest to keep their
little ones alive. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Don’t eat those poison mushrooms!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Leave that bear cub alone!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Don’t jump in the deep end of the pool without three pairs
of floaties on!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But what happens when the parents have done all they can?
What happens when parents need help preparing their young for survival? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well, the old adage tells us that the local butcher, baker,
and even candlestick maker step in to help teach children as well. Because, as
we’ve all heard- it takes a village to raise a child. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I understand this on a few different levels now. Firstly,
thank goodness for good teachers who are helping my little ones learn things
they refuse to let me teach them. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And secondly, I now realize how imperative it is to have a
team of people who are amazing at their job to get a book ready for market.
Because, as I extend the village metaphor, as a parent of a new book, I am now
the equivalent of the village idiot. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Example 1: My editor asked me to send her some ideas for the
cover. Since I cannot even draw a straight line with a ruler, I am extremely
grateful that there is someone out there who can take my fractured, vague ideas
and makes them into a real-life picture to turn into a real-life cover. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Example 2: It turns out I know very little about the English
language. I had no idea how many mistakes my manuscript had. So, thank goodness
for the editorial grammar ninjas who actually paid attention in English class
when the rest of us were writing notes to each other. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As it is with children, it takes a village to get a book
ready for market survival. And being the equivalent of the village idiot on a
book team isn’t so bad if you’ve got great people around you to make up the
difference. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’d love to hear from any traditional or self-pub people out
there! Who has helped you in your journey to market? </div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My
husband, my two kids and I are driving home from a long day which included,
among the usual craziness, following a tow-truck with my husband’s car on the
back to the mechanic...again. It was just one of those long, never-ending days.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> Actual transcript of what my husband
tells me happened in the car:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“Dad, what happens if a tow truck breaks
down? Who tows a tow truck?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“They have bigger tow trucks to tow broken
tow trucks.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“What happens when the biggest tow truck ever
breaks down?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“I don’t know Jake.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“Mom?” My son paused, because I’m not
answering. “Mom!” he yells. Nothing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“Kristin, Jake’s yelling at you. You ok?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“What? Sorry, I wasn’t listening to you guys.
I was thinking about Disneyland.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Escapism. I’m guilty of it in spades. In the
tough, mundane moments, my mind wanders to things that are pleasurable, like
the characters I am developing, a new story plot, or sometimes, apparently,
Disneyland. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I belong to more than a few writing groups
filled with moms about my age. Of course, we claim to write for fun, for
relaxation, because it makes us feel fulfilled…not many of us mention
straight-up escapism very often. And I’m not talking, “Oh, writing is such a
fun escape for me.” I’m talking, “I can’t handle it anymore. I’m going to go
pretend I’m someone else for a little while.” </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Maybe it is a dirty little secret of the
writer/mom. When the diapers and the screaming and the bills and the mess and
the dishes and the piles of laundry get too big to handle, maybe some of us
literary types write stories about everything but being a 30-something mom with
a whole bunch of kids and a whole bunch of unmade beds. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">This quote from Graham Greene hits home:
“Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not
write, compose or paint can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the
panic and fear which is inherent in a human situation.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Reality TV and ice cream work for a lot of
people I guess. Me? Sometimes I write to escape. Hey, it’s cheaper
than a day at the spa.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Christmas Eve, circa 1989: Little Me was gorging herself
on large helpings of orange Jell-o and handfuls of those pillowy pastel after dinner
mints. Not an hour later, I was expunging every ounce of Christmas cheer I had inside
my little body into the nearest toilet in the form of the stomach flu. I’ve
never been able to even be in the same room with those two products since. Ugh,
just writing this is giving me the shakes. </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Everyone’s been here. You’ve eaten something- Top Ramen,
a chili-cheese dog, the lingering piece of iffy three-day-old pizza- and not a
few hours later you are puking your guts out. And even if the food had nothing
to do with your sickness, you’ll never be able to look at pizza the same again.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I had a bad reaction yesterday- and no, this had nothing
to do with any type of minty confection or gelatin dessert. I tried reading
through my manuscript, the one that has been accepted for publication, and...whoa.
NOPE. I didn’t even make it through the first chapter. I couldn’t physically do
it. </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
It might be all the times I’ve gotten rejected in the
past. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Every single time stomach-turning.
It might be that I’ve already read the thing in its entirety at least 15 times
(without hyperbole), which is enough to make anyone sick of anything. It might
be that I have way too much anxiety wrapped up in waiting to see whether this
thing is going to be a success or a flop… </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Is there an “all of the above” option somewhere?</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
So, I’m putting the re-read on pause for a bit to see if
I get over my strange aversion. Maybe bask a little longer in the glory of my
acceptance and not worry about trying to re-read my work for a 16<sup>th</sup>
time for improvements just yet. </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
And when I do need to re-read it when my editor gets back
to me with her notes, I’ll be ready for it with fresh eyes and a iron stomach. And
for good measure, I’ll try to have some Tums on-hand, and maybe…I don’t know…what’s
the opposite of Jell-o? </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Chips? </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Yep. Sounds about right. Doritos it is! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br />
What do you guys do when you just can't stomach your own work anymore???</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Remember the movie, “You’ve got Mail”? Meg Ryan, the cute
and perky owner of a small bookstore wages a pointless war against the big-box
bookstore and eventually loses. She gained Tom Hanks in the end, and though he’s
NO Chris Helmsworth, she seems happy. But I digress. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The only bookstore in my city has become a Staples. That in
and of itself is fifty shades of sad. And it got me wondering. If Hollywood was
to do a “You’ve Got Mail 2”, where would we find Joe Fox, the big-box bookstore
owner? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Because the world of online books has literally exploded in the last few years, he
would probably be fixing to close many of the same stores that put the little mom
and pop shops out of business just ten years earlier. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dare I say, Fox books might even be heading
toward bankruptcy and Mr. Fox himself would be looking into to taking a senior
management position at…Staples?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I loathe that my bookstore is gone. I sit with the horse and
buggy bunch, constantly cursing both Amazon.com and the Model T. But as an
author in this brave new world of books, just as the buggy makers, I have to innovate along with the times or
be left in the dust. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My first novel is coming out as an e-book and
Print-on-demand from Amazon, no bookstore necessary- since there’s really not
many even around anymore. I’m lucky enough to have a publisher who is reading
the market and staying slightly ahead of the curve since the publishing world
is changing so quickly. Facebook advertising, website book-tours, the world of traditional
publishing is dying a little more every day.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So, we say one final adieu to the old ways of publishing.
You’ll find me reminiscing fondly about the smell and sights of the good ol’
bookstore, but bravely marching forward into the new world of publishing, and there's nothing traditional about it. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></div>

Something all kinds of wonderful has happened, something four years in the making.<br />
Someone said yes.<br />
Someone said, "Hey, this book isn't half bad. We'd like to publish it."<br />
I am just waiting for the contract to come.<br />
And you better bet I am waiting by my hotmail account with, you guessed it, dog-like obedience. <br />
Big day. HUGE day. My day. <br />
So break out the milkbones and call me Lassie. Today is this pup's day.Kristin Bryanthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17703144535684195222noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541534276404807751.post-90104242623432083102012-07-18T12:46:00.002-07:002012-07-18T12:46:56.999-07:00Top Ten ListTop ten things to do while you wait to hear back from a publisher about your submission:<br />
10. Check your email...every ten minutes- hey, just because your answer didn't come ten minutes ago, doesn't mean it isn't there now...right?<br />
9. Read...and try not to get too jealous that the book you are reading got published when yours is at least 10 times better that it and you keep getting rejections. Where's the justice?<br />
8. Relax- yeah, right.<br />
7. Clean the house- there's something about scrubbing a toilet that kind of resets your brain.<br />
6. Query, query, and query some more.<br />
5. Contemplate self-publishing...again...and then talk yourself out of it...again.<br />
4. Stalk the mailman...and then try not to scream at him for not having your publishing contract in his hand.<br />
3. Daydream about finding your name at the top of the New York Times Bestseller list.<br />
2. Daydream about finally paying off your student loans from your massive royalty checks that just keep showing up in the mail.<br />
1. Shake off the frustration of not hearing anything today and get ready for tomorrow- hope springs eternal.Kristin Bryanthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17703144535684195222noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541534276404807751.post-6482626570382792742012-06-09T10:37:00.003-07:002012-06-09T10:40:08.308-07:00Good Advice, Gross Guy<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
A friend of mine recently told me about a writing
exercise she uses for her advanced writing classes. She first asks the students
to write a six-page paper on the subject of their choice. They turn that in as
a rough draft. The second draft needs to be three pages long. Then she asks
them to distill that three page paper down to one page. Then the students write one paragraph that covers the subject they started out writing six pages
about. The final draft? One amazing sentence that says everything the teacher
needs to know about the subject.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Brutal.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
But what an amazing writing strengthening exercise! When
querying, publishers ask for anything from a five-page synopsis to a
one-sentence hook. It was fairly easy to distill my manuscript down to five pages.
That’s a lot of space. But one page? A sentence? Well, that takes a good
writer. I’ve found that the more I practice writing, the less words I have to
use to get my point across. </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
As my eighth grade English teacher once said, “Great
writing is like a woman’s skirt- long enough to cover the subject, short enough
to keep it interesting.” Great advice from a kind of gross guy. Either way,
thanks Mr. W for some of the best writing advice I’ve ever gotten. </div>Kristin Bryanthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17703144535684195222noreply@blogger.com0
