DROP DEAD LIFE Gains Literary Interest

» Posted | 2 comments

DROP DEAD LIFE, the blog, must make a shift.

Despite my own inse­cu­ri­ties as an intel­lec­tu­ally under-stimulated mommy of four wild chil­dren, ages 2 through 12, my mem­oir, DROP DEAD LIFE, a preg­nant widow’s poignant, heart­felt, and often comic jour­ney through death, birth, and rebirth, has recently sparked enthu­si­as­tic lit­er­ary agent interest.

So, what this means, I imag­ine, is that my book will even­tu­ally end up in your local stores.

Still dif­fi­cult for me to believe, but it is going to hap­pen. In other words, I can no longer post chapters-in-progress on my blog, for fear that you will not want to stand in line to pur­chase the actual book.

A solu­tion? Sug­ges­tions? The best I’ve come up with is to write about life, in the present. No longer will I be the preg­nant widow jour­ney­ing through death and grief-stricken birth, but, instead, will be the writer, mother, wife, pho­tog­ra­pher, and soul-searcher who must fin­ish this mem­oir, despite the need to change dia­pers, cart kids to ther­apy, and drink vodka lemon drops.

If I can inspire oth­ers to man­i­fest their own love and hap­pi­ness, then I have found the mean­ing in my exis­tence. This is, after all, a DROP DEAD LIFE.
