Sinead MacDughlas I have a few tricks to get through writer's block. People have called me an encyclopedia of useless information and I. Punctuation, self-doubt and moths are my personal nemeses. I have an ongoing love affair with semi-colons, commas and ellipses. My addictive personality is appeased by coffee, cheese, chocolate, books, music, the internet.and nicotine which I'm trying to give up. I have a hard-working husband, two children, and a black, medium-haired cat who thinks I'm his pet. I was born in 1970, (I'll wait while you do the math, lol) I'm Canadian, a bit of a patriot, and I live in a small town North of Toronto, Ontario. ![]()

Really, James, wasn’t one extra ship enough?” She’d given up scolding them for it.īut now her mind was on her husband and his impending voyage, which she hoped wouldn’t commence before the end of the Season. ![]() At fourteen, the boys still hadn’t outgrown running to wherever they were going. The twins, Gilbert and Adam, had just left the room, their empty plates still on the table, and raced past her on the stairs. IN THE LARGE TOWN house on Berkeley Square, Georgina Malory entered the dining room to join her husband for lunch. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Certainly the "recovered alcoholic fighting to stay sober" tale is not new territory for a memoirist. This quest to remain sober is made dramatically more difficult, and the tale more harrowing, when Burroughs begins an ill-advised romance with a crack addict. And while its one thing to lay off the sauce in rehab, Burroughs learns that it's quite another to resume your former life while avoiding the alcohol that your former life was based around. But after a month of such treatment, he's back in Manhattan and tenuously sober. When his employer insists he seek help, Burroughs ships out to Minnesota for detoxification, counseling, and amusingly told anecdotes about the use of stuffed animals in group therapy. His apartment is a sea of empty Dewar's bottles, he stays out all night boozing, and he dabs cologne on his tongue in an unsuccessful attempt to mask the stench of alcohol on his breath at work. In Dry, we find that although adult Augusten is doing well professionally, earning a handsome living as an ad writer for a top New York agency, Burroughs's personal life is a disaster. Fans of Augusten Burroughs's darkly funny memoir Running with Scissors were left wondering at the end of that book what would become of young Augusten after his squalid and fascinating childhood ended. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This set is a collector's dream and includes an 18-card base set, PLUS Dynamite chase cards that include: 6 signed cards, 12 Line Art cards, 9-card puzzle cards, 2-box-topper special cards, and thousands of one-of-a-kind hand drawn original art signed sketch cards.
