How's Your Self Control?

Oh, She's a Writer, Eh? How Fascinating.By Kim Cooper FindlingJuly 9, 2009

An experiment conducted in the 1960s by Stanford psychologist Walter Mischel tested children’s ability to delay gratification. A child was left alone in a room with a plate of marshmallows, cookies and pretzels. She was told that she could either eat one treat right away or wait until after the adult left the room for…

A (Puzzled) Thanks

Oh, She's a Writer, Eh? How Fascinating.By Kim Cooper FindlingJuly 6, 2009

I fear speaking too soon.   Four weeks. 13,500 words. 35 pages. Five chapters. And my dominant emotion? Bafflement. At how easy it feels.   I know enough by now to realize that initial creation is always the fun and easy part of writing. And I know that I am just beginning even that. Finishing…

Hurts So Good

Oh, She's a Writer, Eh? How Fascinating.By Kim Cooper FindlingJuly 2, 2009

My writing group friends agree: there is such a thing as a “good” rejection letter. As I have reported in the past (Boomerang), an unfortunately much-too-common rejection letter in the publishing industry is no rejection letter—no response at all, which has the result of making one feel like pond scum, or worse, invisible pond scum.…

Seasonal Interference

Oh, She's a Writer, Eh? How Fascinating.By Kim Cooper FindlingJune 30, 2009

We interrupt our regularly scheduled musings on motherhood, writing and rejection for a taste of summer living. We regret to inform you that this might be a common occurance until mid-September. Please bear with us and enjoy our dabblings into a new artistic format–the photo essay.

A Friday Bonus!

Oh, She's a Writer, Eh? How Fascinating.By Kim Cooper FindlingJune 26, 2009

J. Robert Lennon nails The Truth About Writers in the LA Times. Happy Weekend!

Summertime Writer's Fatigue

Oh, She's a Writer, Eh? How Fascinating.By Kim Cooper FindlingJune 25, 2009

A picture is worth a 1000 words (left unwritten).

The Trauma Tour

If Only I Find This Hilarious, Does That Count?By Kim Cooper FindlingJune 22, 2009

Captain Daddy is professionally inclined to report on topics of disaster and death. In our early years together I named this litany of unfortunate events the Trauma Tour. Everywhere we went he had a story to tell: car into tree, drug-addled assault, slow and lonely decay. I endured it, sometimes even with affection for the…

My Name is Kim and I am Writing a Novel

Oh, She's a Writer, Eh? How Fascinating.By Kim Cooper FindlingJune 18, 2009

When I started this blog six months ago, I didn’t put my name on it. I didn’t tell anyone I was writing it. I didn’t announce it anywhere. When it comes to new things, I tend to put a toe in the water completely privately. Or maybe even just a toenail. I try it out…

Artist in Residence

Motherhood, An Endlessly Rewarding JoyBy Kim Cooper FindlingJune 15, 2009

Chicken Little is extraordinarily articulate for the recently-turned-two, as well as uncommonly considerate, which means that she asks permission in eloquent English before doing all of the fabulously experimental things that cross a small person’s mind. Take for example these recent questions: Can I throw my cheese down the stairs? Can I walk on the…

Chester Finds a Home

If Only I Find This Hilarious, Does That Count?By Kim Cooper FindlingJune 11, 2009

I may not have landed my own column or a book deal from blogging yet (my fantasies) but I have accomplished something! I am extremely pleased to announce that thanks to my recent post (Welcome Home, Chester), Chester has found a new home. Sometime this summer, our favorite dead caribou will be moving from my…
