Valentine's Part 2

Check out the Valentine Jennifer Pickrell made for me on her blog.

Thank you, Jennifer!

Valentine's Day

Today is Valentine’s Day and the writing blogosphere is full of secret valentines!

My secret valentine is the lovely Yamile Mendez. Happy Valentine's Day, Yamile! I'm sorry this Valentine isn't more fancy, but I hope you like it.

Blog readers, here are some reasons why Yamile is awesome:

1. She’s raising four kids and still finds time to write. She even did NaNoWriMo. I fell like a wuss.

2. English is not her native language, but not only is she fluent in it, she writes in it. Did you hear me? She composes fiction in a non-native language. She’s like the Josef Conrad of Utah.

3. Her favorite sport is the best sport in the world. And I love how she spells it futbol.

4. Some people go cloth napkins. She went cloth diapers. That takes some serious commitment.

Last, here are some recent pictures of Rosario, Argentina, taken by a friend who lives there now.
