END ROUND FOUR 2011: SUCCESS! — DEC. 22
We finished! Let’s party!! Head on over to see the other participants. Looking back on this whole year and each round’s goals, I have to conclude that this was a very successful venture. Okay, maybe some weeks I slacked and perhaps I [...]
12-18 CHECK-IN: ROW 80
Good morning, and welcome, Row Participants! This past week, I did lots of reading, a few blog posts, and some editing/rewriting of Defining Moments. I expect to be finished (or close to it) by the end of this round. I also did a little blog tweaking, changing the theme here and over at Curl [...]
SATURDAY MUSINGS: HOLIDAY MOMENTS — DEC. 17
I love waking up on a cold morning in the days before Christmas. My thoughts catapult back to times and places of celebration. We don’t have snow here, but we’re very close to the snow…less than an hour sometimes. A few years ago, I remember winter days (usually after Christmas) at my son’s cabin, [...]
PLAYING AROUND — DEC. 15
As most of you know, I tend to play around with themes, backgrounds, headers, etc. It’s sort of like editing a work-in-progress. Do you ever get that little itch that takes you over to the themes pages here at Word Press—just to see what new offerings are available? I like this one I discovered today. [...]
12-14 CHECK-IN: ROW 80 — FINAL SPRINT
This challenge is going to wind down in just a week! Check out the other sprinters here. Suddenly I’m getting that panicky feeling. Wondering if I will finish the tasks I set for myself. But so far this week, I’ve worked regularly and I’m moving along on the rereading/rewriting process of Defining Moments. Yes, I’m [...]
12-11 CHECK-IN POST — CLIMBING THAT MOUNTAIN
Good morning, Row 80 Participants! Today I woke up early after actually dreaming about the changes I would make as I reread (once again!) my WIP Defining Moments. Now, don’t laugh, but I could see it like a movie playing out in my head. Too bad I didn’t wake up right then and make notes, [...]
DESIGNING MOMENTS — AN EXCERPT
In this excerpt from Interior Designs, Martha looks forward to the opportunity to entertain her new love. He stood in the doorway after I’d answered the ring. Looking gorgeous, as usual, with that big grin. Holding a large bouquet of flowers and a bottle of champagne, he should have been gift-wrapped, because I felt like [...]
12-7 CHECK-IN: ROW 80
Good morning and welcome! To see the other ROW Participants, click the link. Okay, now I’m frustrated again! The same thing happened to me on Sunday. I wrote the whole post, only to have just the picture show up! My other WP blogs are cooperating fully, but not this one. What does this tell me? [...]
12-4 CHECK-IN: ROW 80
Good morning, Row 80 Participants. Let’s try this again. After writing the whole post and hitting “publish,” my post was totally missing. All that showed was the photo at the top. Perhaps the publish feature recognized my crap and excuses for what they were? At any rate, I’m now writing something totally different, since I [...]
