JJ’s Blog

 I’m missing JJ’s blog, which she says is over because she is not studying abroad anymore. I hope she’ll start a new one, say, JJ’s Adventures at Home. This morning I told her that she will be the next writer in the family and suggested she take some creative writing courses next semester at UAA. She said that having a mother as a writer made her think she is better off being a teacher like her sister. “No offense, Mom,” she said, ” but you’ve been writing forever and your fifty and only on the second book. Writing is a lot of work and the payoff is slow.”  That JJ, she is a practical girl. Me, I’m a day-dreamer, so writing is about as perfect a “job” as I can have.
