10 Reasons I Haven’t Blogged in 5 Months

January 20, 2013 by sue campbell

1. For awhile, all I thought about was Hoover and there are only so many doggie cancer posts I can subject all of you lovely people to.

2. I fell into a brief, grief-related depression and needed to focus on eating spinach dip.

3. Nora wasn’t saying anything blog-worthy, because she was too sad. (See reason #1.)

4. I was busy with freelance writing assignments, for awhile.

5. Somehow I got talked into supervising people at my day job. And that shit is tiring. (Don’t worry, it’s only temporary.)

6. I spent several hours each day trying to prevent our new dog from eating the living room rug.

7. Then I was busy with the holidays.

8. I was knitting a shawl for Nora, then a big-ass doily-blanket thingy.

9. I simply fell out the habit. And that’s a very bad thing for a writer to do.

10. I needed time to figure out if this blog still had a place in my life.

And I think it does. Here’s what to expect from Mommy’s Pen going forward:

  • stories of my family that (hopefully) connect with your experience
  • new dog antics (his name is Charlie, he’s a big spazz)
  • recipes
  • crafting exploits
  • links to what I’m writing elsewhere
  • photos of Nora, she’s doing a 365 photo project this year

Basically, I’m going hodge-podge on your asses; it’s whatever I feel like saying, whenever I feel like saying it.

I hope you’re still with me. What’s been going on with you?

What kind of blog is this?

This is a blog for PARENTS. True, the writer, Sue Campbell, writes books for kids. But this blog is for grown-ups. It has some swearing and would be super boring for kids. Except for the swearing.

The PODCAST is for KIDS and PARENTS. In fact, my twelve-year-old daughter is my co-host.

If your kids like Sue's books, send them over to suecampbellbooks.com where there's some kid-friendly content. EVEN BETTER, join the mailing list. You get stuff for grown-ups and printable stuff for kids. And sometimes there will be super ill-advised giveaways or coloring contests for free books.

MORE ABOUT SUE: She makes an ACTUAL LIVING from writing words and marketing books and lives with her husband, two daughters, six chickens and one messy house rabbit in Portland, Oregon. And yes, Portland IS that weird. She really couldn't be any luckier.
