When I was about 12 and was chubby, had braces on my teeth, and took piano lessons, I would tell myself at the end of the day that I could count myself as a good person if I had 1) not snuck any cookies; 2) brushed my teeth; and 3) practiced piano. Needless to say, there weren't very many truly "good" days.
So now I'm 58, back on Weight Watchers, I have no braces, and I don't play piano. So the new list is 1) stayed within my daily WW points; 2) rode the stationary bike; 3) brush and flossed my teeth; 4) spent at least a solid hour writing.
I'll let you know how it goes.

"REVENGE OF THE SOCCER MOMS"
Never underestimate smart, funny, and slightly bored stay-at-home moms, especially when they get angry.
Teenage drivers, abusive husbands, vandals, and child molesters are no match for these women.
But when does Neighborhood Watch become Vigilantism? And when the Moms kill a cheating husband
and the 24-hour news channels camp out in their neighborhood, will their lives ever be the same?

About Me
- Myra Levine
- I have edited a new and much-improved versions of my first novel, and am on the hunt for a new agent. Meanwhile, I'll be working on my second novel and dreaming of book deals and movie rights. Like all writers. Back in the 80's and 90's, I ran a video production company for many years and wrote dozens of TV and radio ads, political spots, and training and marketing videos. Then I adopted my daughter from China, met and married David, adopted a son from Vietnam, and began writing fiction. (Some of the political ads were fiction, but that's another story.) Now I'm revising my second novel, and caring for my mother and mother in law, both diagnosed with dementia. If I can turn my personal circus into a best seller, it will all be worthwhile. Otherwise, it's a daily root canal.
HERE'S THE QUESTION
Can a smartass mom achieve commercial success as a novelist? My husband and our creditors sincerely hope so.
