21!
July 15th, 2010
It’s easy to remember how long I’ve been a “real writer”, meaning, when that first sale transformed me from wanna-be writer to actual writer. I was expecting our second child, Malorri, and on doctor-ordered full bed rest, barely allowed up to walk a few steps to the bathroom or take a quick daily shower. Oh, and we were also parents of a high-energy one-year-old named MG. Try bed rest with a one-year-old.
Malorri turns 21 in early August. And 21 years ago this week, I was a couple weeks away from her due date when Mike came home for lunch and brought in the mail. I ripped open my SASE. Inside, I found an acceptance letter from “Highlights for Children”, the letter that’s framed in my office, all these years later.
One letter can change your life. One child can change your life. Four children can create your life.
So, Happy 21st, our sweet Malorri! (And Happy Birthday to Mom’s writing career, too…)
