National Blog Posting Month – Day 28 Yesterday, I titillated and regaled you with my tales of woe and success (not really, I just always wanted to use that phrase). So since today is the last day of National Blog Posting Month, I thought it fitting to outline my plans for the future. Edge of …

National Blog Posting Month: 2010-02-26

National Blog Posting Month – Day 26 Today’s post is later than normal since I’ve been feeling under the weather (read: depressed) all day. I didn’t get to my editing last night for my rough draft novel (Nanowrimo). I planned to do it in the evening, after a full day of school, cleaning, paperwork, etc. …

National Blog Posting Month – Day 25 After yesterday’s poetry post where I abused you with my verse, I am here to make it up with a poem by my son. His virtual school had a lesson yesterday where he wrote a (you guessed it) free verse poem. He picked his favorite animals. Bats oh …

I met with fellow Nanowrimo authors this weekend, one of which is a published poet, and discussed free verse versus more formal styles. Yesterday my son’s schoolwork for Language Arts …

National Blog Posting Month – Day 23 Time is running out. Will I make my deadline of one complete edit before the end of the month? No. Will I suffer utter embarrassment after boldly declaring that I would make the deadline despite the odds? No, not particularly. The thing is, this month was the worst …

National Blog Posting Month: 2010-02-22

National Blog Posting Month – Day 22 My joints and muscles ache from last night’s exertions. You know that sounds exciting, because I’m talking about Wii Active. It’s a customizable fitness program that we bought over the weekend to help the whole family get in shape. I haven’t touched the Wii since we got it …

National Blog Posting Month: 2010-02-21

National Blog Posting Month – Day 21 Yesterday the Off-Season Nanowrimo group met at Panera for fun, discussion, and large quantities of caffeinated beverages.  I enjoyed seeing everyone again, not to mention someone new.

National Blog Posting Month: 2010-02-19

National Blog Posting Month – Day 19 The month is almost over and there’s no sign of our schedule lightening up at all. In fact, I think it’s getting busier.  I just learned of a new group that my son can join that meets once a week for Virtual School help. His sports are going …
