OVERNIGHT CAMP, HELICOPTER MOMS, AND SKINNED KNEES

I sent my eight-year-old son to a week of overnight camp. He was only gone for two hours when I sat down to write about the process of preparing him (the insane process) and to capture some thoughts about parents and camp in general. I hope you’ll join me at the Jewish Daily Forward to read the article. I put a quote from my piece below:

“From the way I carried on about the packing process, you would think Sam was departing for a tour of duty in Afghanistan instead of seven nights (yes, only seven) with some kids he has known his entire life. How can the child that I thought on one hand needed a more a challenging camp experience be the same child for whom I went to three stores to find the “perfect” shower bucket?”  

Would love to hear your thoughts!

GETTING PEOPLE TO READ YOUR BLOG

The one blogging question I get consistently is this: “How do you get comments on your blog?”

What I think people mean when they ask that question is “How do you get people to read your blog?”

My answer is on author and writing coach Rochelle Melander’s site: WriteNowCoach.com.

Let’s talk about blog comments, blog readers, and building a blogging community over THERE!
