The Striped Nickel: "Falsies" has Arrived!

http://thestripednickel.blogspot.com/2013/09/falsies-has-arrived.html

Or, What to Expect When you Get the Unexpected. Sunday, September 15, 2013. Only it has another name. ("Breasts are not a Requirement." I kinda liked "Falsies" better, but I can see that's more of a lit journal title than a glossy mag one.) It's hot off the press in the October issue of. O, the Oprah Magazine. I am so grateful to be in such good company! I'm featured on the Contributors page as well as somewhere in the middle of the magazine (the essay itself). Check it out! September 29, 2013 at 6:07 AM.

http://thestripednickel.blogspot.com/2013/10/hello-goodbye.html

Or, What to Expect When you Get the Unexpected. Thursday, October 10, 2013. It is such an odd thing. He comes and goes like a dream. This is not the way of most thirteen-year-old boys. The healthy and the happy ones stay, mostly. Sure, they go for short periods of time. Sleep-away camp. Sleep overs with friends. School trips. Visits to Grandmas and Grandpas and aunts and uncles and cousins. But what I have not quite figured out is, which home is his REAL home? The one he flits in and out of like a dream?

Or, What to Expect When you Get the Unexpected. Friday, March 21, 2014. Making a Comeback, One Inch at a Time. So, it's been more than three months since you've heard from The Nickel. Yes, I am still alive. Most days, at least. And still trying to write, in my slow and small ways. I DID have a short story come out a month or so ago on the fantastic online young adult lit journal YARN. Small Change." You'll see why Small Change works better when/if you read the story. What can I say? Not much new at this ...

The Striped Nickel: I Know You're Wondering...

http://thestripednickel.blogspot.com/2013/10/i-know-youre-wondering.html

Or, What to Expect When you Get the Unexpected. Wednesday, October 2, 2013. I Know You're Wondering. Destroyed by that fluffy monster who eats the brains of those who look him in the eye? Comatose from indulging in too many almond flour muffins? I get weepy with gratitude and joy when it strikes me that I now have hope. A treasured clinician said to me once, when I told her I had no hope left, "But. But there is something else: I am tired. It's really that simple. I need rest. Recently, I have had to go ...
