When the review isn't awesome. 2007-10-08 16:37:00 "Fashion Mash Launches Clunky Outfit-Sharing Site"What do you do when a review
is not as awesome
as you hoped it would be? Here's what I did:1. I took a deep breath. The manic-style of John Reese (of BlogRush), came to mind. PR is not something you can control, but how you react is under your control.2. I read the review again & made a list to separate out the constructive criticisms from any misunderstandings. 3. Looking at the feedback, I thought, "How can I learn from this?" This person went to the effort to look at my site and took the time to write about it. I immediately thanked them for their time and I added the valid critiques to our Fashion Mash to do list.4. Is there anything I can do about the misinformation or misunderstandings? Not directly. They allowed comments on the review, so I put in my two cents. And I started asking myself, "Is there a way to prevent this next time?"5. That turned into a re-examination of my pitch/co

RIP Cinders 2007-10-14 09:50:27 My folks' doggie died yesterday. She was such a sweet and crazy thing. They wrote a lovely little tribute to her and I wanted to share it with you all: Cinders
1994-2007
Cinders was put to sleep Saturday
morning on October 13, after suffering from declining health, including
liver failure, arthritis and a torn ACL.
Cinders was of mixed parentage
(Lhasa-Apso and Pomeranian), born April 1, 1994 near Moise, Montana.
As a tiny puppy, she showed signs of bravery by barking ferociously
at the huge buffalo nearby. She never realized how small she was - she
would courageously defend herself against any dog, no matter how large.
(Cats, however, were another matter.)
In May, 1994, Marilyn drove
up to Charlo junction to pick out a puppy, with one in mind that was
black and white and shaggy. Unfortunately, the only black and white
one had been spoken for. Whe

Time Change Blues 2007-11-04 14:09:47 I don't know why, but the Time Change
always throws me off balance. Is it just the psychological effect of the change or is it really something physical? So, Nanowrimos, how's it going? I had a bit of a struggle the past couple days to keep my fingers on the keyboard, but I'm back on track.Sitting at 7230 words.from today's entry "Runaway to Texas"When we arrived at the airport in Billings, my Barbie suitcase did not
arrive with us. I lost it. I screamed and I cried and I threw my
six-year-old self on the floor of the airport. Airport personnel called
a cab for us and distracted me by telling me I would get to ride in the
jumpseat- a seat that folded up right out of the floor in the backseat. Read more:Blues

More writing: "Ours" 2007-11-02 16:20:12 Some of you have seen part of this segment before. (I'm now at 6088 words.)"Forty some acres! Can you believe it?" I giggled to the stranger who
Jewel said was her uncle. "Do you have a special place far away like
that?" I asked as I sat on his lap after supper. "No but I want to
tell you about a special something we have here in Wyoming. How old are
you? I don't know if you are old enough to hear." "Old enough?" I hollered with indignation. "I am four years old Uncle Henry. That's old enough. You tell me. Please!!"
Uncle Henry's round tummy bounced with laughter. "Four years going on
eighteen I think. Well here in Wyoming we have a very special animal
all our own. Do you like bunnies?" I nodded. "We used to have two
bunnies when I was little, but they left round poop all over and ate
the phone cord so Jewel let them go and we got new carpet. Its brown. I
liked green better. Green is my favorite color." Uncle Henry guffawed. "Do you want to hear about our special animal o Read more:writing
Nanowrimo day 2: Moral Support 2007-11-02 08:24:57 I'm now at 4576 words for Nanowrimo.org. Here's is an excerpt from today's writing:One
morning I was getting ready for school when my new foster mother came
in and said we were going to the doctor that day instead of going to
school. My new foster sister, Rhonda was coming along for something
called, “MoralSupport
.” I was confused as to why she would need
to go to the doctor for help with her morals. I asked her, “Don't
you need to see a psychiatrist for that?” Rhonda & Rhoda
laughed all the way to the doctor's office. I wondered if they were
as crazy as my Jewel.You can read the rest of today's writing at http://mezamashii.blogspot.com/
Chapter 1: The worst day of my life 2007-11-01 15:46:13 The following is a 500 word excerpt from my first day's NaNoWriMo entry. I've set up a new blog for my nanowrimo writing at http://mezamashii.blogspot.com/Most of the water from my bath was on the floor of the bathroom.Sliding back and forth down the length of the bathtub, I could make thebest waves. Dripping, I stood next to the tub and hollered to mymother. "Get me a towel!" I said in my sassy six-year-old voice."Maaaa-therrrr!"The bathroom door was open and I could see hersitting at the dining table. Bills and other papers were scattered overits scratched brown wood. She sat, staring straight ahead and her lipswere slowly moving. Her cigarette was dripping ashes on the paper onthe table."Mother! Jewel!!!!" I often called her by her firstname because that is what everyone else called her. "Jewel, are youlistening to those voices again?" I asked.She got up from the table and said, "Okay, Okay! I'll make the bed. Just shut up." Then she rushed into the living room.Weslept on a Read more:Chapter
The meaning of "Mommy." 2007-11-09 18:23:31 I've told my lifestory before. In brief overviews to new acquaintances, I've often told it in a casual factual way. So, this time around, I was a little blindsighted by the emotional impact of examining my lifestory in detail that is needed. In my writing, I'm relating things from my memory of that time, interviews I conducted as a young adult of some of the people involved, and from court papers. When reading the court documents about termination of my mother's parental rights, my breath suddenly disappeared and I felt stabbed in the chest. A primal cry of "Mommy
" came to my lips. I was hit with this vivid triple dose of grief. In a jumble of feelings and memories, I felt the loss of my birthmother, the loss of my first foster mother, and the loss of my fosterchildren last year. For a fleeting moment, I felt the comfort of my mother's arms around me and the feel of cradling my fosterlings in my lap.Now, I can say, I truly know the meaning of M
