I found this post from February of this year, but for some reason I never posted it. We're in the dog days of summer now (August is the worst), so it feels kinda nice to read about being frozen on the farm. Enjoy! I have always loved colder weather, but man, farming in winter — even...

That One Time I Got Emotional

by SRadmin

DISCLAIMER: If you haven’t yet read my post, “How I Got My Agent,” feel free to do so, so this post makes sense in terms of my lofty writer goals. Otherwise this just sounds like I’m an asshole. This past weekend I went to my first writers conference. It was in Syracuse and I wore...

How I Got My Agent: A Success-Through-Perseverance Story

by SRadmin

Thank God this isn’t a story about Bill, my pot-belly pig, who should have been named Houdini, amirite? (For a laugh at my expense, see my last post on Bill the Bastard.) This post is mostly for my fellow writers, my colleagues on Twitter who struggle with the shitshow that is querying their book, who...

Bill Comes Back for that Sweet Piece of A–

by SRadmin

Last Friday, Bill the potbelly pig grew wings and flew away. Actually, someone left the pig pen open and Bill took off. As we sat down at the dinner table for tasty tacos, our neighbors knocked on the door and asked if that was our pig scurrying through their fields. Immediately we dropped our tacos...

Don’t Wear Sandals in the Pig Pen (Dummy)

by SRadmin

We’ve been at the farm for pert-near four months now! So you ask, “What do you have to show for it?” My initial answer is, “Don’t be a bitch. Farming is hard,” and I might elaborate with, “And we’re not real farmers. That’s super hard.” But we’ve done a few things we’re proud of since moving...

These Goats Did Not Have Creepy Eyes

by SRadmin

My sister, my cousin, and I visited the Beekman Boys farm in Sharon Springs, New York last Sunday, two days after a monstrous storm that pommeled the area with snow. Seriously, we drove past snow drifts taller than our van/SUV. But when you’re not driving in it, it’s gorg: We paid in advance for...

Let Me Feel My Feelings!

by SRadmin

What it feels like to have a story idea locked inside your head, but you’re not able to write it out: You’re thirsty but you can’t reach that cold glass of water. You’re late for work and the person in front of you is from Vermont and driving 15 miles under the speed limit. You...

Welcome, Dear Readers!

by SRadmin

Hi, it’s me! I missed you, too! I have been absent from the writing world, but for good reason. I’m busy. Get off my back. I just bought a farm. (Writing shed? JK. It’s a playhouse, of course.) I’ve been writing something new – something YA, something dreamy, something sweet and frosty. It’s a secret....
