About

I’m a freelance writer based in Durham, North Carolina (a few clips here), and the mother of two lovely girls. For any given freelance assignment, I have to spend a lot of time reading and interviewing people. Some of what I learn makes it into the final story. This blog is mostly about the stuff that doesn’t make it in. Plus some local and personal stories to keep things interesting.mab-headshot-n_2

    This is great Alice, as is your blog although I cannot put it on mine until you tell me what to do — specifically.

    I will try to think of all sorts of people I know and connections I still have.

    P.S.: You do know how to produce exquisite children. B-day party pix were wonderful.

    You’re a very good writer, and I’m hopeful you will continue to get past any hurdle that’s thrown in front of you. Thank you for the mention on your blog!
    All my best,

    I have become a ‘virtual’ friend with Tish via blogging. I’d love to share this post with my readers…many also follow Tish.

    With you permission, I would like to give some quotes and add a link to this post. I would need some information on you, the writer.

    Thanks in advance for your consideration. Rita

    Hi Rita,
    I apologize for only noticing your post today! You’re welcome to use anything you’d like from my blog, as long as you link back to it. I’ve been busy working on another blog — growinggardeners.wordpress.com — and have let this one languish. But you’ve inspired me to re-engage. Please let me know what else you might need from me. Thanks!
    Alice
