The snapshot I took above was in the delicate time window between twelve midnight and twelve noon on Sunday, June 29, 2014, since Amazon informed me that it would be a twelve-hour window before the updates to the book were available to load. So go ahead and enjoy a laugh on me. :-)
Isn't that a strange paradox to have a book listed on Amazon without an author byline to it? I find it strangely paradoxical. Anyway, looking after three children under five during the day and squeezing time to either get my writing or self-publishing done, I somehow let some of these same habits of putting others first bleed into the writing I do for me and what I believe in! LOL

Well Water Woman is a personal narrative of a Chinese American female who explores and reconstructs her journey from girlhood to womanhood, spawning two generations of memories in an attempt to piece information about the life of a third generation predecessor— the paternal grandmother whom she has never personally met.

Happy New Year! I LOVE the local public library. I find kindred spirits on shelves that are not mine (thank goodness or my house will be flooded with books from floor to ceiling, room to room!), kindred spirits who create community within and beyond their locale. By finding out from another reader just what she read brings me closer to her and the book's author. Books are so beautiful in that they are a record, a document, yet a connector and community builder. Books are a source of continual dialogue. I can read and reread a book and find new things.
Recently I have been reading of other writer mamas who have simultaneously launched their writing careers and their parenting lives. Reading about their experiences are so inspirational to me, for it was motherhood that prompted me to take my writing seriously. Today I finally feel that I have found my mission to write the book that has been emerging from the depths of my life, a book that has been marinating in prenatal juices so deep that it was previously unforeseen. Today I welcome the coming of October 5, 2012, when a year from now I would have nearly completed my first book--the one that really matters to me, the one that only I can write. I will be sharing my journey with you. |
