I fell in love with WordPress.
Hang in there.
Author and Professional Obsessive.
Hello! Over the past few years my creative work and professional life has shifted into areas that are little more private and analog than they used to be. But I'll still share what I've been up to, and this year (2026) will update this site accordingly. Please sign up for update emails if you want to catch up! (I'll also post an update to my Substack, but not sure if I'll have new content there.)
Selected Press and Links
- Essay: A Little House Adulthood For the American Masters documentary on Laura Ingalls Wilder, I contributed a piece to the PBS website about revisiting the Little House books.
- Essay: The Christmas Tape (At Longreads.com) How an old audio tape of holiday music became a record of family history, unspoken rituals, and grief.
- Q & A With Wendy McClure Publishers Weekly interview about editing, Wanderville and more.
Where else to find me
- Candyboots Home of the Weight Watcher recipe cards
- Malcolm Jameson Site (in progress) about my great-grandfather, a Golden Age sci-fi writer.
- My Instagram Ha, the only social media where I post these days!
In the works
- My Etsy Store Where I’ll be selling copies of my books, zines, and more. Part merch, part… garage sale?
oh. God. This is psychedelic. And black. And red. Please no existentialism phase on this blog. Please?
Hey, I just read your book and I thought you were awesome. As well as your site. It was nice reading a book that I could relate too. Any more in the works??
I like the new layout (but i know you’re still playing too.) Not as busy. I miss the old logo, though. Hope you’ll incorporate that in somewhere.
I’m playing a lot with skins and designs, and am about to move off of Blogger in a month or so, so I’m looking forward to changing my look. Its like trying on clothes in a store where everything fits, you just have to decide which color you like.
Oh, something’s up with the comment submitter thingy. I just tried to submit my comment (which I already did above) and I get an error message that says “Please submit a comment.” So, I need to comment on my comment. I need to meta-comment. Talk about forcing one to reflection!
I kind of miss the abundance of #s… but… this is pretty spiffy!
Looking forward to the new site — and it’s syndicated now, too!
PLATH LIVES!!!!
I’m in the process of moving to wordpress, too – although am using their templates b/c I’m too clueless to make my own. Anyway – love your blog, love you, I even like the zany design. 🙂
Is wordpress like a garlic press?
Wendy, I LOVE the new look! It will go well with your new FunkyCool earrings.
Hee hee . . . my comment is “awaiting moderation.” I have never been good at moderation.
I knew I was missing a link on my WordPress!

oh, I wish I knew what to do with WordPress…one day. I keep looking at the site, getting a headache and going back to Blogger where it’s easy 😉 x
