Hello, my name is Sue and I'm a single mom of 1 teenage daughter.  We're very close.  I just turned 44 on August 5th.  I'm a high school math teacher and a new writer.

I have published some online articles on the graphing calculator and education, but this my first endeavor with writing a novel.  I've toyed around with many ideas for years, but never followed through.

It is so incredibly rewarding to be working on a project and have direction.

I am currently working with agents trying to get my work published.  It's a long road, but I know it will be worth it.

I learned I have to write for myself.  If someone else identifies with my work, that's great, but ultimately, I have to be satisfied with my work.


Cafemom.com is a wonderful place where we can share our hopes, dreams and anxiety!

WELCOME!

-Sue DEE

  • Hi, I'm Elaine Bartlett.  I'm a married for 20+ years mother of 2 at home (teen-age boys) and three crazy Brittanys.  I wrote a romance novel --finished it over 7 years ago.  I submitted it, but it was rejected. :-(  I'm currently working toward getting it self published.

    I hate to think that all that work was for nothing.  I'd just love to have it in a real cover to keep on my very own bookshelf.  Do you know what I mean??

    Once it's out, I'll post more information on my website: http://www.elainebartlett.com

  • Hi all,

    My name is Michelle.  Actually that's my pen name, but in order to keep my family shielded a little from my writing I use it even in places like this instead of my real name.  I'm a 35 year old married (13 years) mom of two great kids (10 & 4).  I've been writing for about 2 1/2 years and have a short story e-published this summer with Samhain Publishing.  Next summer it comes out in print as part of an anthology.  I also have a novella under contract with them and right now my editor is looking at a full length novel I wrote.  Haven't heard back yet.  Keep your fingers crossed for me.  I write contemporary and erotic romance.  Both stories under contract are erotic romance, my novel is contemporary.

  • Hey everyone! I'm Dawn and a newby to cafe mom fairly new to writing. I have a novel half done and needing much work on the main character, a women's study done for a church group I belong to and am starting a children's book.
     
    I have three boys of my own (18, 15, 7) and a niece (17) who graduated early and is going to college as is my 18 yr old son.

    I am so excited to find a writers group! It is not just a love, but a passion of mine to write.

  • Hi all,

    I'm G and new here.
    I've been writing since high school or earlier I guess.
    I wire poetry, short stories and children's stories.

    Lately though I've been working on travel essays.

    When I was younger I thought I'd be the female Ernest Hemmingway and travel the world.

    Well here I am still in Jersey. 

    I think everyone should write something, anything - it's a great outlet for stress and creativity.

  • Hello. My name is Dawn (27). I am a sahm to Asha (01/14/04) and Elliott (08/08/07) I am married to Brian (29). We live in Pa. I am a born again Christian. I love to read Christian books. Some books I have enjoyed are; Yada Yada Prayer Group series, Gods in Alabama, Left Behind series, books by Stormie Omartian, anything that catches my eye and teaches me about being a Christian. I have finally found a home church, after searching long and hard for one that fit just right, and everyone in my family like the church. I will be trying to lose weight once I recover from my c-section I had on the 8th of August. My daughter, Asha, started preschool on the 4th of September. That’s about it for right now. Feel free to ask me any questions.

    Please feel free to visit my blog: http://dawn-thomas.blogspot.com/



    I am a mom with Bipolar Disorder, Anxiety, and ADHD.

    I am a mom of biracial kids, Asha and Elliott.

    I am a wife of a biracial man, Brian.

    I am a Christian, Born again, my sins were purchased by Jesus at Calvary and I am in His debt. Redeemed and delivered by the Lord Jesus Christ who strengthens me! Always.

  • Hi, My name is Cori. I live in Michigan. I have one daughter age 19 who is well on her way to making me a Grandma come January. My Husband drives a big truck and I go out with him often. I actually tried it my self but high blood pressure and driving truck are not easy to combine. I've been writing for as long as I can remember and it's always been my dream to get a story completed.
