My husband walked into my office, stared at my computer screen, and shook his head. What could invoke such a reaction from him? He saw that I was starting a blog.
"Isn't that for kids?" he asked.
I wasn't offended. In fact, I saw it as a compliment. I am a children's author, after all.
As an author, I love writing and anything that involves writing. Each new creative process is another welcome challenge for me. Blogs are fairly new to me. I'm usually glued to my word processor typing out another adventure.
I accepted the blogging challenge recently. Who knows? I might stumble upon another story or article. Blogging allows my thoughts to flow the way free writing does. Many times, this type of writing introduces me to my next character. I couldn't let readers miss out on that.
With that in mind I turned to my husband.
"I know what I'm doing," I said and continued to set up my blog. I have now entered the world of blogging.

Jennifer - Great to meet you. I followed your link from Jean's critique work. We have a similar history (my name is Jennifer, and I'm also a stay-at-home mom). I thought I'd pass along my blog...depending on the ages of your children, you may appreciate some of the reviews for kids books. www.easyreadingpicks.blogspot.com
Thanks for stopping by Jennifer! Jean's great, isn't she?
Yes, I want to go visit her sometime. Or perhaps we will meet up someday at the Nat'l SCBWI conference, Highlights or something! Good job on your OUAT acceptance, too. Jennifer
