On Outlining
C. writes I was wondering if for a future blog post on writing or writing tricks, if you could describe your story outlining process a little? And/or post a small example of your typical outline? Even just a short blurb would be really awesome. I’m a very visual person, and I struggle with ADHD (diagnosed

Moving and House Troubles
Contrary to the creative posting by certain smart ass assistants, we’re not completely wrapped up in house issues. We’re also working on Kate 10. A lot of you emailed and asked us when we are moving, where we are moving, and so on. Austin is a big sprawling city that’s only getting bigger and it

Things That Drive Me Nuts
I’ve been seeing this meme on Facebook, and it drives me up the wall. The man on the left is Cary Grant. He was born in 1904. In 1917, he would’ve been 13 years old. He is older in the picture and the cut of his coat is quite generous so I would put this

Hurricane Harvey
Thank you for your concern, guys. We are fine. We are mainly looking at flooding, but so far we have rain and some strong wind gusts. Grace Draven is in Houston and she just marked herself safe about an hour ago.
Possible Texas Move
Does anybody live in New Braunfels or Bulvedre in Texas? We are looking to possibly move there for a couple of years. We are still fired up for Florida move, but the kids seem to be taking a little bit more time to orient themselves and that would put us about 90 minutes away in

Rejected Princesses
A reader sent in this wonderful website, Rejected Princesses, that profiles princesses who won’t make the cut at Disney, because “well-behaved women seldom make history.” I absolutely loved the Black Agnes one. Enjoy!
