Here’s what I’ve been up to lately.
• Writing for DogCanyon.org, a politics and culture Webzine. Here is my latest post.
• Finishing up my Master’s degree in Secondary Education at Texas State University. Woot!
• Learning to play Whitesnake’s Here I Go Again and Pat Benatar’s We Belong on my accordion. I’m also writing a new song or two of my own. I’ll keep ya posted…
• Loving being married. It’s been going on three years now. Do we still count as newlyweds?
• Wondering if I will ever get back into races. I ran my first half-marathon — the Zooma, an all-women’s race — in April 2009. It was wonderful — and when I finished it, I thought, “Hooray — never have to do that again.” Ha. I didn’t sign up for either the Zooma or the Danskin triathlon this year, but I hope to do them again in the years to come.
• Learning about life and death. 2010 has been a heavy year. I’ve had some awful experiences, and yet ones that have made me feel closer to and more loving toward my friends and family. As my brilliant superwoman midwife Michele said, Now we will walk through this together…
Hey CAM, how you been? We haven’t seen you in a month. Am I the only one that noticed
I got to thinking, you need to post videos and/or music tracks here or a site like Youtube. Sure wish you had an email link
But then, I understand with todays ‘crazies’ why you can’t 
Anyway, hope all is well. Update us as soon as you can.
Cheers
Fred
Hi Fred!! Thanks so much for visiting — it’s so nice to know people are still checking in on me though I’ve been under a rock. I’ll be coming out soon, though. I should be finished with draft 1 of my latest young-adult manuscript by Tuesday! Wahoo!!
Thanks again for visiting in and checking in.
Love the new look!
Hey, thanks, Romantic Girl!
I have to know. Are you the same Catherine Morris from Dazed and Confused? Please tell me you are.
Hi Joe,
Ummm…yes!
I knew that
I didn’t want to say anything because I wasn’t sure how you feel about it. I must say, I too am a D&C fan. Mainly because my high school times were real close to the movie. I swear ever the jocks like the same 
Fred
Hey there! No… gonna start off saying I’m not one of those crazies. Just watched D&C for like the 200th time! I just started looking into seeing what else you’ve done. And forgive me for saying, cause I know you’re married, and I too have a wonderful woman in my life…. but you were cute as hell in that movie! Anywho, nice to meet you…. and best of luck with your teaching career!
WOW, replying to these posts late, but — Fred and Tommy, thanks for your sweet comments! It’s so nice that people still like that movie and everything! I had such a small role in it that it’s also really nice to be noticed — hee. Thanks again.
Wow! I haven’t visited in a while, and all kinds of things are going on! Congratulations on everything, but mostly the baby-to-be!
Sounds like you are keeping busy and having fun!
Thank you, Alyssa — so nice to hear from you on here!! (I say, months & months later…heh…)
Hi Catherine, Just checking out your site a bit. I am a sucker for writers workshops and would be curious to attend one of yours except…I am not located in Texas.
I am an aspiring writer but mostly in science fiction, how do you feel about that genre?
(Arthur C Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlen or however the hell you spell it?)
Hi Stevie, Thanks for visiting my site! I do offer my workshop online sometimes, so I hope you’ll keep checking back for dates and availability. I just finished teaching it mid-March, so I’ll probably offer it again this summer sometime.
And I love sci-fi, though I’m not very widely read in it (yet). I really love Neal Stephenson — The Diamond Age and Snow Crash, especially. I read those books again and again (though on subsequent reads I started skipping big portions of the text…seems like Stephenson likes to write these looooong, verbose chapters that are more about his personal interests than advancing the story…
). I haven’t read any Asimov yet but he’s on my list. I heard once that he had several typewriters at different desks in his house, which he would use to keep two or three or more stories going at once. I think that’s really cool. I usually work on a couple of stories at once, when I’m writing, and I always have 8 or 10 books around the house to read concurrently.
Well, I got off on a tangent! Thanks again for visiting, and for your interest!
Hi Catherine. I hope you don’t get tired of it but I loved you in Dazed & Confused. You had a small role but geez you were hot (in a 70′s sort of way).
I grew up back then and that move captured so much of what it was really like. Anyway, it’s cool to find you and get to say Hi.
Hey Cat, how ru? I was reading cnn.com and saw the where are they now D & C. I was reading your bio on there and saw that you live in Austin. I live in austin also and I’m a writer also. I’m currently driving a taxi cab in Austin. Do you take taxis? Because you look familar(besides the movie). I drive a Prius taxi cab. Anyways I’d love for you to read some of my work.
