How odd I was thinking about that nursery rhyme just the other day. In Medieval days they left the stuff sitting on the hearth forever. It must have been awful nine days later. My new classic fairy tales of murder and mayhem book is due out this month. But the stories aren't anything to tell the children
You guys are too cute for words. 'Porridge' and 'Spider' are two child play time things my Mom did with me as well. 'Little Bunny Foo Foo' is one our girls did in Girl Scouts so I got to do that a lot! These kind of things are great picker-uppers for anyone. Deb and I also play cribbage occasionally and do the newspaper crosswords on Sunday morning as a ritual. Have a great week, guys!

HOW I GOT HERE
I'm a writer, writing things that haven't brought me fame, but continue to involve me, inspire me to find an audience.
I started out as a modern dancer, contemporary, but balletic. I didn't want to be a swan, or a barefoot dancer. I wanted to dance to the music that thrilled me as a child, and made me want to be a dancer.
I began writing in the truck my first husband, Mark Ryder and I bought, in order to carry our set, props, and costumes for a long one-night-stands tour -- eighty-eighty performances in eighty-eight cities.
We were performing "Romeo and Juliet" nightly, but our marriage was breaking up. Every day while our stage manager drove us two-hundred miles or so to the next booking, I'd type a detailed description of last night -- what we did well, what we argued about, and a travelogue about the town, and comments from the people at the nightly party.
Recovering from the trip and the divorce, I sent my "car book" to a friend who said -- "Em, it's great, but ..." And that became rewrites, and another book. Then, my marriage to actor John Cullum, and then a play that got produced, and another book, big hopes because a famous agent loved it. The title and concept changed five times -- now it's been published, finally, as "Somebody, Woman of the Century." You can buy it, or read about it and my other five novels on Emily Frankel.com
