http://itsajumble.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 14, 2014. Life update: where I've been. Stories sold. Christmas already? Did you forget about me?

These sales make me so excited and happy—I can’t even tell you. I’m dancing inside, like a kid on Christmas. I turn 40 this week. For now, I just want to withdraw. I want to push all those news headlines away, t...

It's a Jumble: August 2015

Monday, August 31, 2015. On memoir and things I have no experience of—A review of "Barbarian Days: A Surfing Life" by William Finnegan. I know nothing about surfing. I've never stood on a board.

Monday, May 26, 2014. I've signed the contracts; I've even been paid!
