In Common: A Novel of Love and Sacrifice by Norma Watkins

In Common, a first novel from award-winning memoirist Norma Watkins (The Last Resort, That Woman from Mississippi), is the story of how much women willingly sacrifice for love.

Lillian Creekmore grows up at her family's popular rural spa. She successfully runs an entire hotel, yet longs for a husband. Then she meets Will Hughes.

Velma Vernon accepts life on a small, struggling farm until a boy she barely tolerates proposes marriage. To accept means duplicating her parents' hard life. Alone, she leaves for the city and triumphs, not as a wife, but by being the best at her job. Velma is content until the most beautiful man she has ever seen walks into her office.

This moving and darkly humorous novel follows the intertwined lives of women willing to surrender everything to a man.

9:02pm (09/23/20)

two years ago from tomorrow has begun and awaken a lot.

i thought “my life?” “continue living?...probably not”

i think journaling and writing just made me listen to myself by making my voice a little louder.

made me shine a little brighter.

made me realize one day i’ll grow to be taller than the biggest sunflower.

so thank you me,

for making me see,

for letting me be,

for allowing to agree,

to set Sandra free.

A Humble Introduction

Hello! If you are reading this, this means you’ve found my blog and welcome. I’m not entirely sure what my plans are that I am creating a completely new blog. But I know it is a clean slate. I hope that this blog can be a remotely safe place for me to mostly dump about things, to rant when I need to, to express lingering feelings, and so much more. I hope to also share some of the occasional photography, because just as writing has become, it is a big part of my life that I want to pursue and improve.

I don’t expect this blog to reach many eyes, as it is mainly a place for me to put my thoughts, feelings, and experiences into words. The blogging thing is very new to me and obviously I am not an expert, so I hope that the pieces will come together as time goes on. By any means, once again welcome to my blog and I hope that you can find something you like or just enjoy here.

Thanks, Lauren

Today on the blog I'm sharing a piece of mine that was published in the latest issue of @newcastlemirage. It's a little chat about how women are doing on the equality front in the world of writing, particularly novels and poetry. If you haven't managed to grab yourself a copy of the latest @newcastlemirage and you're in the area, be sure to go find one cause they're disappearing. If you're not a Newcastle local, never fear, you can catch their content on newcastlemirage.com (link in bio). . . . . . . #newcastlemirage #newcastleblogger #newcastle #women #womenempowerment #womeninwriting #writer #writersofinstagram #equality #equalityforwomen #feminism #article #supportlocal #magazine #published #blog #blogger #ausblogger #ausblogchick

"...even female writers will front-load their universes with males—I’ve been rereading Andre Norton right here at Tor.com, and she consistently defaults to male protagonists and male-dominated adventures. Her females are deliberately strong and subversive, but in speaking roles, they’re in the distinct minority. They’re also, almost without exception, not standard human women. Mostly they’re aliens. Maelen. Jaelithe. Half-Earthling, all-inept Kaththea. It’s a man’s universe, and women have to be downright alien to be seen or heard." Interestingly enough, I've absorbed enough of this invisible rule of writing that when I create casts that contain more than a couple of female characters who stand as equals with male characters, I start to feel this odd sense of guilt, like I'm being unrealistic and self-indulgent, as if it's the same as writing a serious historical fiction about colonial America and giving half my characters purple hair and teal eyes and long wizard robes purely because it felt right.
