Thursday, February 4th, 2010

Why is today made of awesome sauce, you ask?  Why is it gonna be lovely? First, this afternoon, El Ex and I are signing on the dotted line with our fabulous agent, Danielle Chiotti of Upstart Crow Literary Agency. Danielle will rep up us, shopping our co-parenting book proposal around to publishing houses.  Fingers crossed [...]

“Agent. Contract. Screaming.”

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

Since TechBoo started a new job last fall, he doesn’t have the same access to email and phone that he did in his previous job. So when he texted me to see how my meeting went this morning with the agent who is interested in the co-parenting book that El Ex and I are co-authoring, [...]

In which I connect co-parenting, divorce cakes, and Mary J. Blige

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

After Thanksgiving (which we are hosting), we’ve already RSVPed for 2 holiday parties and a Chanukah party.
