• There’s a string on my finger by Deb Joelle

  
  The Debutante Ball — Authority: 127
  There is something I am supposed to do tonight. I just can’t remember what it is. I know there is, because I have a red string tied around my finger. I put it there for a reason. It’s on my wedding ring finger, which means “do it by Thursday.” Why does the wedding ring finger mean Thursday? Well, I start on ...

• The “dead” zone….

  
  The Debutante Ball — Authority: 127
  I’ve never been a big fan of deadlines –and it’s probably because the word starts with “dead” which isn’t exactly pleasant I guess (kinda like “die” in diet).  Yessiree, deadlines have always been a big problem for me, especially when it came to school science projects.  As an admitted lifetime ...

• The Midpoint and the Long Race

  
  The Debutante Ball — Authority: 127
  Self-imposed deadlines can be tricky. Too lax, and you’ll wind up with Writer Who Doesn’t Write Syndrome. Too strict, and you’ll get what Dennis Lehane calls Ticking Clock Syndrome. For me, the key was finding a midpoint between these two extremes. For many years, I had Writer Who Doesn’t Write Syndrome. ...

• All is Vanity, by Deb Emily

  
  The Debutante Ball — Authority: 127
  If deadlines don’t exist, I have to invent them. I don’t always achieve my personal deadlines, but I usually come close. They’re my way of breaking down a huge task (write a book!) into manageable chunks. I wrote The Whole World in a year, entirely on self-imposed deadlines (well, and one looming contest ...

• Goals Instead of Resolutions by Deb Joelle

  
  The Debutante Ball — Authority: 127
  I’ve noticed that I generally only make resolutions if something’s not right in my life – like I’m going through an unhappy spell – and honestly, I’m usually pretty darn happy, so I’ve made very few resolutions in my lifetime! I do, however, like to set a few goals at the beginning of each year. A few ...

• I need a tissue

  
  The Debutante Ball — Authority: 127
  About ten years ago I made a resolution to never make a New Year’s resolution again.  I figured I had tortured myself long enough, and I was done with this ridiculous tradition.  I mean who the heck came up with this stressful over-achieving exercise?  I’ll tell you who….a masochist.  Every year I would ...

• Belly-laughing & Self-betterment

  
  The Debutante Ball — Authority: 127
  From year to year, my resolutions don’t seem to change much. In general, they’re a collective vow to take advantage of the time I’ve been given — however much of it remains. This year my resolutions came early. One November morning I found myself making a list of things I would like to start doing, toward ...

• Deb Sarah Promises to Try…

  
  The Debutante Ball — Authority: 127
  Dear Diary, Here are my resolutions for 2010: 1) Will simply ASK acquaintances to tell me their names once again instead of pretending to remember and spending the rest of the (wedding, reunion, party, etc) paralyzed with fear that someone will come up to us and require an introduction, revealing me to be the ...

• Resolutions, by Deb Emily

  
  The Debutante Ball — Authority: 127
  Resolutions for 2010: 1) Finish the next book. 2) Exercise more frequently; cook more; snack less. (I find this less daunting and mind-twisting than “lose weight”) 3) Do a little email replying and a little tidying each day, so that I don’t end up with intimidating masses of Things That Need To Be Done. The ...

• The Gift of a Mantra by Deb Joelle

  
  The Debutante Ball — Authority: 127
  I’ve had a pretty darn good life so far. Not that I’m planning on giving it up any time soon or anything, but on reflection, even the darkest moments were eased by other wonderful things happening at the same time. The other day, I was having breakfast with some friends and one of the women started pointing ...

• The priceless gift….

  
  The Debutante Ball — Authority: 127
  When you are a kid, gifts are your reason for living.  One of my favorite presents EVER was going to Lionel Playworld with my parents on Christmas Eve, and being told I could choose a giant metal swing-set for our backyard.   I remember I couldn’t decide between the slide combo, or the monkey bars addition.  My ...

• Giving and receiving

  
  The Debutante Ball — Authority: 127
  In the opening scene of SIMPLY FROM SCRATCH, my narrator Zell finds a gift intended for her in a very unexpected place. The gift, she assumes, is from her late husband, who hid it before he died. She doesn’t open it right away. Sometimes you have to wait for your life circumstances to shift and resettle, before ...

  The Debutante Ball — Authority: 127
  I love giving presents. I love getting them, too. Hard to say which is better. But this week, I’m going to focus on giving. I’ve got one ARC of The Opposite of Me and I’ll send it (along with a little box of chocolates, just to sweeten up your reading experience) to one of you -or you can pick another ...

• Opening Presents, by Deb Emily

  
  The Debutante Ball — Authority: 127
  Patience is a virtue. And squeezing and shaking the wrapped presents under the tree is a time-honored tradition. Presents are meant to be unwrapped on Christmas morning, after the sun is up, and when the whole family is gathered around in our pajamas, right? Not this year! Sure we get our kids a couple of special ...
