Reading a book about hiking the Appalachian Trail taught me two things: 1) I don't want to hike the Appalachian Trail, and 2) trail upkeep is vital.
Hiking Perspectives
Writing Retreat
With a deadline coming closer, I'm so glad I was able to get away and get a huge jump start on editing novel #2!
Waste Not
With some basic equipment, we now save 75-100 gallons of water a week!
Skill Building
I started to write a novel in first person and realized I didn't know how. What's a writer to do? Learn some skills in a short story is the logical answer. Right? Or is that just me?
Another Year, Another Fair
For the second year in a row, the Mother Earth News Fair had me surrounded by people who get me.
How is Shorter Harder?
For my latest short story, I'd reached my word count limit and nothing had happened yet. D'oh!
Jumping in with Both Feet
For years I've been looking for a good fit for volunteering. I especially wanted to work with animals, but I didn't want to end up with the need to bring them all home with me. Now I have found a place and get to help wonderful dogs find forever homes that aren't mine.
The Over-Achiever Strikes Again
When most people finish a project early, they rest. I add another one. That's how I roll.
Even More About Cheese
It takes patience to make blue cheese. 3-6 months to be exact. Thank goodness it isn't all hands on time!
What a Difference a Year Makes
Last year this time I'd finished draft number one and had a combined total of 5 pounds of kittens. Boy have things changed.
