A Funeral of the ‘I can’ts’

I’m over at Writer Unboxed today, holding a public funeral for some of my writerly ‘I can’ts’, including “I can’t be a pantser’, ‘I can’t write in first person’, and ‘I can’t write a sex scene.’ Stop by!

In other news, I got the kids lunch today, then while Bella was eating her peanut butter and jelly and Vivi crawled around on the floor, I started making soup for dinner. (This in itself is mildly blog-worthy, considering how, um, infrequently cooking has happened in our house these last few weeks). Bella asked what I was doing, and I said, ‘Making soup for you to eat.’ Except that I forgot to specify that this was for her to eat tonight, as opposed to right then. So she replied with, “That’s horrible! I’ve just had lunch! Do you want me to get a tummy ache?”

Ah, my girl. She cracks me up.
