Short Story: George’s Trains

Instagram

My best friend Rachael and I were at Barnes and Noble two Saturdays ago, browsing books. We’re the sort of people that can literally spend hours in a bookstore. For me, the smell of books is soothing, and the presence of books is comforting.

May 12th, I finished the first round edits of What Actually Happened to Isaac Moore and sent them off to my editor for round two! I’m so excited. And terrified. And excited. And really nervous. And terrified. This is really happening, people!!

Okay, so, once upon a time, last year, I took a Russian Folklore class at Utah State University and I absolutely LOVED it! There were so many wonderful fairytales that I had never heard before. Baba Yaga? Scariest thing ever. Love her.

A Buddhist monk was once invited to speak to a class. He walked silently to the board and wrote, “Everyone wants to save the world, but no one wants to help mom do the dishes.” He explained that, while we might not get to do extreme acts of heroism in life, we have little opportunities every day to do something kind and wonderful, and when we do, “You have committed an act of immeasurable profundity, because to each of us, our life is the universe.” I see this in my home all the time, like when I’m overwhelmed and Paul and the kids clean; and their many I-love-yous and the times where they hang out with me just because. These little things? They’ve changed my universe forever.

Why I Wrote My Novel: Part 2!

“Every moment, even if I remember it exactly, which according to Phil is not likely, is still only a sliver of reality. So which reality is closest to the truth? Is there such a thing as truth? Or is life simply a series of faulty memories, a chain of random chemical and electrical impulses? I want to believe it’s more than that. That’s why I ran, that’s why I’m writing this. I prefer a faulty record to oblivion.”

She wrote her first novel in permanent marker on her sister’s vanity chair when she was three-years-old. It wasn’t well received. She currently resides in the mountains, in a little house full of toys, where she’s enjoying her happily ever after with her Prince Charming and three adorable, little bears.
