I Can't Hide It Any Longer

Thursday, April 10, 2008 by Bethany

Yep, it's time. The announcement. I'm now the official writer for a serial fiction column for Hybridmom.com. Can you not tell me how fun that is? Because it is. Seriously, ridiculously fun. The series is called LIFE AS GRETA. That little thumbnail image on the right side of the blog will take you there... or just keep reading for details:


Meet Greta. A 30-something single-mom living in Chicago proper and ghostwriting for a man she has never met. She’s stuck in the fashion of the 80s, obsessed with food, Oprah, Do-It-Yourself television, and Internet shopping.

If that isn’t intrigue enough for you, then know this—Greta is going on an adventure of love, life, and motherhood. You’ll be along for the ride. AND you can add your two cents into the storyline. That’s right! I’ll be taking comments, suggestions, and sometimes incorporating them into the plot.

And honestly, don't let the teaser speak for itself. I really want you to see the whole thing, and chapter 1 so, please-- go check it out here! (while I crawl under my desk and take deep breaths). Hope you like it!

congratulations! You crack me up, you are bang on with the mommy stuff! I have a 2.5 yr old and think sometimes I can barely handle him yet I use to manage an office of 45 people. LOL.

We have some karmic cross-over! I just posted a Q & A on Hybridmom.com on a book I just published -- cool site... my daughter is named Greta... AND I write fiction too....

Writing is a really fantastic thing to do when you're a mom. It is intense and fulfilling, and you learn something new everyday (depending on what you write, I guess.)

BUT you have to be tough, you have to persevere, and you have to be ok with being really poor for a long time.

Best of luck to you!
I will check out your stories and you should check out my blog on www.momstimeouts.com...

Yeah, work as a fiction writer!! Congrats. I can't wait to follow along, and I'm sure I'll love it as much as I enjoyed Postpartum Euphoria.
