(And thank you to Aimee for sending you here.) If you come back tomorrow morning, you can answer the new Question of the Month and see how crazy it gets around here.

I Love your blog almost as much as I love the fact that your sixth-grader is playing keys to The Doors wearing Mandela's prison number. I had the opportunity to read some things here that really have my interest. I think I am an instant fan. I look forward to more. I came here by way of aimeepalooza.

Having a good writing day, so I'm going to stick with it as long as the fire is there. Mr. H and the boys have been emailing from the Galapagos. So far, they've been swimming with sting rays, sea lions, sea turtles, and, um, hammerhead sharks the size of Green-Hand. I'll probably put some photos up next LitPark post, which will be the first Monday of July. The only benefit at all of having the house to myself, besides not feeling guilt when I work too long a day, is that I can crank up DMX and Ja Rule, which usually draws a lot of eye-rolling around here, but it all helps me write. Okay, that's all. Soccer folks: I'll be there Sunday; sorry I skipped last night. And meant to link to this yesterday: http://www.nationalpost.com/scripts/story.html?id=610944 I’m about two weeks behind with mail and such, so just wanted to let folks know I’m working hard and I’ll be in touch as soon as I can.

Giving birth changes the whole birth story concept for me...every year I'd listen to my mother's tale of how she gave birth to me--the long labor, how I cried when my head came out and my body was still inside--and it was this simple, sweet story. giving birth--mine was a difficult one that almost resulted in c-section--has changed everything. There isn't a single thing about my life that is the same after this experience. I am curious how it will translate into my writing whenever I get back to it.

I think the article runs tomorrow, so I'll link it when I see it. Mr. H and the boys are in Ecuador today and Galapagos tomorrow. I couldn't join them because I have to finish these book edits. It will be the longest I've ever been away from my kids. Not easy. But damn it, this book will be done before they come home. That I know. Hey, everyone,

When my father took her for a ride on a bumpy road in his pick-up, she went into premature labor. What the delicious blueberry pie, or the long hours at the beach has to do with it has never been clear, but in my mother's mind, those are essential elements of the story. Now I'm beginning to understand... p.s. Your son is amazing!
