I love the name of this blog. And I’m so pleased to have been invited as a guestblogger. Here’s the link, if you’re interested. WRITEMINDED

The title of my blog is The Chaos Factor. It’s about you how keep writing even when all the stuff you can’t imagine happening to you happens — at one time. Here’s an excerpt:

…But sometimes, the real world intrudes. The upstairs air conditioner quits. Your contractor husband decides it’s finally time to remodel your master bedroom closet, so everything you wear, everything you once loved and now hate, everything you can’t remember why you bought, gets dumped in your living room for all the world to see. (Plus, you’re forced to admit that you own fourteen pair of black shoes and he only has four—two for winter, two for summer.) And, it’s Mother’s Day. Your granddaughter’s birthday. Your daughter gets engaged. You and your husband both get the flu—or food poisoning. And someone near and very dear to you dies.

Sometimes all of those things happen at once.

Oh…and you have a book out and you’re on deadline.

Welcome to my world.

Oh, and they have the coolest emoticons. I got a little carried away. Go figure.
