I'm not sure how to write this blog post. When you're a writer, people expect everything you write to be ... good.  Janine gets that because sometimes I'll bug her to take a photo of me making some silly face in front of a monument or something, and she will, but there's no way she's publishing it. Sometimes, like anyone else, writers have to fire off that two-line Christmas card to a fourth cousin twice removed, or jot down instructions about feeding a cat or something. And if the instructions suck or are boring or predictable or derivative, they might get a little judged. And other times they'll be going through the most incredible, biggest and best adventure of their lives and find, on four hours' sleep, that nothing comes forth but cliches. 

But what can I say? So many of the cliches are true. Janine and I have fallen in love with our daughter. She is a wonderful little person. I don't feel particularly insightful at the moment and certainly not witty. I just want to say that I love her, that I can't wait to see every little step of her life, and that I am more in awe of her mom than ever. 

So, I'm going to be busy for the next while. I hope that I do a better job of this than anything else I do. But along the way, I'm going to keep working as well. Stay tuned on this site for updates on the different projects I'm working on: I'm still helping to edit the E.M. Delafield biography, I'll be contributing a chapter to a book on LGBT politics being published by the University of British Columbia Press, and I've started my next book. More about that later.

In the meantime, wish us luck! And hug your mom. And a nurse. They are angels.

Good luck! Really looking forward to the next book. You hadn't mentioned the other projects though - too modest yo!
