Okay, sisters!

I see no posting and no nagging here. There are seven of us who should be participating. Who wants to get kicked out of this stable? Let's have some participation from everybody. Everybody! Or at least some very entertaining excuses.

My arms have laryngitis and that's why I haven't posted goals. Can't move.

Free Fiction Editing Workshop

A virtual friend, from whom I took a really good MSWord workshop is offering this editing workshop through BellaOnline. In case you're interested just go to http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art55228.asp

Happy week,

Dani

P.S. I'm sending this from my mailbox to quoe.nagsisters@blogger.com and I think you can do this, too.

Dani Goals w/o March 16

Happy Paddy's to everyone! My goals this week:

  1. Update each of my blogs and post the link here so you can keep me honest
  2. Plan my next fifty rural newspaper articles
  3. Write three of those columns

I'm really needing to focus on the blogs to spiffy them up, so that's primary.

Tip-toeing quietly back into the room...

Howdy, All!

Back from Left Coast Crime in Denver and slowly working my way out of depression caused by...well...just a really lousy couple of weeks, culminating with the loss of my baby boy, Haggis. He would want me to keep writing, though, so I'm going to post from very unambitious goals to start. I will start with:

Saturday, March 15th & Sunday, March 16th

1. Outline my adventures at Left Coast Crime and start a series of blog posts on the experience. Finished the outline.
2. Complete one blog post (did a blog post, but not on LCC. )
3. Work on LILITH (well, I wrote a sentence and thought about it...)
4. Walk on beach both days (Yup, sure did!)
5. Do yoga stretches both days and some TRX'ing. (NOpe, crapped out on this. My stomach hurt too much to stretch and I twanged my elbow and am not working it)

I think I can manage that...

Post Your Goals Everyone

I'll be a bit late posting my goals this week, as I've been helping with the funeral of a neighbor who died last week. I contributed the obituary which turned out to be my writing assignment for last week. You can read it at www.lovefuneralhomes.com and then click on Shirley Trimmer. It was very interesting interviewing her children over the weekend. And small town funerals are certainly something to write about! Anyone else doing some writing this week? If you're having a tough time with your current project, why not post in your life journals about what's going on. I actually set up a secret blog for a diary as I'm getting more involved with memoir-writing through Story Circle Network. Or what the hey... here's a writing prompt to get you going this week. Write your own obituary.

Congratulations again!


That calls for some high-kickin' dancing and singing! And a toast? Who has the drinks? What's it gonna be? Champagne? Mojitos?
Wow, that's some good exercise. Better lay off the sauce while I'm doing that.


Hey, do you need a reader? I'm good at typos. I just went through an ARC and caught a bunch. Alas, too late, so I thought I'd offer early on.
You are such an inspiration!

Estoy Terminado

Which is to say, the polish, it is done, it is emailed, and I am done, for now...

Update here - not only do I think it's done, the agent does too.
