Oh, She's a Writer, Eh? How Fascinating.By Kim Cooper FindlingApril 15, 20105 Comments

On Monday, I walked to a meeting. The route was a stretch of Nye Beach in Newport, Oregon. The destination was a local pub. The person I was meeting was my publisher. On my back, I carried 160 pages of paper—my book manuscript, completed last week and fresh from the printer. The sun shone brilliantly,…

Oh, She's a Writer, Eh? How Fascinating.By Kim Cooper FindlingMarch 31, 2010
…in which our heroine is nearly finished with final edits on her book. In between fits of terror, she is quite jublilant. 

Honestly, she is.

(Well, she’s sure it’s coming, anyway.)

Oh, She's a Writer, Eh? How Fascinating.By Kim Cooper FindlingMarch 24, 2010
Tax season mournful thought for the day:
“No one can stop you from writing. They can only stop you from getting paid for it.”

 

–Bobby Moresco, Hawaii Writer’s Conference, 2009

 

Silver lining: writing off this.

 

"God It’s Such a Drag to Have to Live in the Past"

Oh, She's a Writer, Eh? How Fascinating.By Kim Cooper FindlingFebruary 25, 20103 Comments

The other night I dreamt I was pregnant with my ex-boyfriend’s baby. This is impossible for many reasons, not the least of which is I haven’t laid eyes on him since 1996. (Oh, and my ten years of marriage, though I guess that doesn’t stop everybody from getting into this particular pickle). No matter—in the…

One-upping Mr. Nelson

Oh, She's a Writer, Eh? How Fascinating.By Kim Cooper FindlingFebruary 4, 20103 Comments

Last week I was invited to a middle-school classroom to talk about being a writer. It was one of those moments that made me go “huh?” and look over my shoulder for the real grown-up/real writer who was surely standing behind me. “Oh, you mean me?” said my inner ego, who is nerdy, shy and…

Just Another Bat-Shit Crazy Writer

Oh, She's a Writer, Eh? How Fascinating.By Kim Cooper FindlingDecember 31, 2009

Well, I’m back. You didn’t notice I was missing? Just read the posts written from Thanksgiving until the week before Christmas, especially this one. They were written by my evil twin. Between you and me, she needs to be institutionalized. Or at least heavily medicated. I must admit that I am not one of those…

Missing: Life Force. Please Return. Reward: Chestnuts Roasted on an Open Fire

Oh, She's a Writer, Eh? How Fascinating.By Kim Cooper FindlingDecember 7, 20097 Comments

This whole book thing is sucking the life force out of me. I know, I know. It’s what I’ve always wanted and I should be able to find the joy in it and by complaining I sound like a big fat whiner and nobody likes a whiner. Captain Daddy and I got mired in a…

It's Hard to Live, Still I Think It's The Best Bet, Oh, She's a Writer, Eh? How Fascinating.By Kim Cooper FindlingNovember 25, 20091 Comment

Today, as I pull out my hair and gnash my teeth trying to get through some mind-scrunching edits on my book when I really should be in the kitchen baking two pies for tomorrow and definitely shouldn’t be blogging at all, I offer you only a modest gift. But isn’t it a lovely one? “Maybe…

Blooming Eventually, Repeatedly and Currently

Oh, She's a Writer, Eh? How Fascinating.By Kim Cooper FindlingNovember 18, 20094 Comments

The meeting with the publisher went very well. If all goes as discussed, my book will be on the shelves next fall. It’s the strangest sensation. Driving home, my brain was short circuiting. I have every reason to think that this is actually happening, after so many years of it not happening. I am going…

A Bloodcurdling Halloween Horror Story

If Only I Find This Hilarious, Does That Count?, Oh, She's a Writer, Eh? How Fascinating.By Kim Cooper FindlingNovember 11, 20092 Comments

Imagine a dark and blustery night, a room cast with shadows. A writer polishes her working manuscript. The publisher has asked to see what she has so far. (Plot Twist). She adds fancy words, changes the formatting, calls on the universe for extra powerful positive thinking. The wind blows like a demon out her office…
