Old Women Who Write
Life in the Boomer Lane has some pretty big ideas. Most of the time, she keeps them to herself. Then, after awhile, someone else invents seat belts for dogs or some Really Important Human writes something that millions of people start talking about. Then, LBL can say to herself, “Hey, I already thought of that.” […]
My Life, Now Available on Kindle
May 23, 2016
At some point in the recent past, Life in the Boomer Lane noticed that she had written an alarming number of posts, since starting her blog in 2010. Several of these were seriously worth reading. Most were marginally worth reading. All were read by at least somebody. The realization was pretty overwhelming. She decided […]
Life in the Boomer Lane Enters A Contest
February 11, 2014
Life in the Boomer Lane suspects that many of you are quite busy right now, gathering up whipping cream, soft restraints, and dog-eared copies of Fifty Shades of Grey for your Valentine’s Day festivities. She does, however, ask you to set aside your own lives for a moment in order to enhance hers. The folks at Midlife […]
This is My 500th Blog Post
December 1, 2013
There’s a great book by Rachel Joyce, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry. Harold, a sixty-something retired man, leaves his house in England one day with no other intention than to mail a letter to a former co-worker who is dying of cancer in a hospice at the northern end of the country. Harold passes […]
Blogging Your Way to Fame and Fortune
October 27, 2013
There’s a great piece in the NY Times Sunday Review by Tim Kreider, titled “Slaves of the Internet, Unite.”. Kreider is a writer, a real writer, lauded and respected. But he is caught in the same morass that we Lowly Worm bloggers are caught in when it comes to being expected to give our work […]
Ana, You Have No Gag Reflex!
April 24, 2012
Let us start with a confession: When I wrote my scathing and witty series on The Fifty Shades of Grey books, an astute reader/fellow blogger commented by providing what she felt was the best quote in the book. Since then, this Sesquipedalian Songstress of Syntax has been trying to find a post to write in […]
Thrust into London for Deep and Penetrating Research
March 13, 2012
Three people have now expressed their desire to have me continue with my posts on the Fifty Shades of Grey books. In my literary universe, this constitutes a veritable groundswell, and I’m up to the challenge. The third installment in the series, in which Christian and Ana test the ease, efficiency, and calorie count of […]
Fifty Shades of Grey
March 3, 2012
Betty of Heifer 12X12, has alerted me to a book touted on the Today Show and across the planet, 50 Shades of Grey. I knew it had something to do with eroticism and SM, so I intended to do some deep research before writing this post. But, like the team on Fox News, I believe […]
Tips for Successful Self-Publishing
June 10, 2011
The world of self-publishing, like baby equipment and politician’s sexcapades, has become a lot more complicated in recent years. In the case of self-publishing, this is a good thing. Self-publishing used to be called “vanity press.” Pay a sum of money, have a bunch of books printed, sock them away somewhere and then give them […]
My Psychic Menage-A-Trois
May 15, 2011
To celebrate my birthday, two friends (Roni and Susan) and I went to a psychic. This was no ordinary psychic. This was a psychic who had been on TV and who cavorted with other famous psychics and who was here for a one-time-only event. I was sold. Count me in and take my hard-earned […]
