Dani's goals June 1-7

30 pages for Book in a Week. Well, I may have eaked out 20. Well, it's better than a kick in teh teeth, madame!

Tops on the list to write is the Blog Book Tour Guide which has been written, but needs desperate re-writing and shortening. Getting there. Ah hah! The mysterious elusive guide. I remember hearing tales of this...

The rest of the pages will be blog posts which desperately need writing. Just my personal journal where I've been spewing a LOT. Heck, I haven't even been writing in a journal! But I'll tell ya more about that in the post I'm gonna write when I'm done writing comments here!

I'd also like to find a few more members who would participate. If you know anyone who could use some nagging and who needs to write daily, let me know. I'll invite them to join. I'm sick of nagging but that may just be because I did a trial run of a beginning blogging class and can't get the students to do the assignments. So I'll probably kill that blog and forget about teaching a class this Fall for Story Circle Network. It just takes too much energy trying to cheerlead everyone into participating. I just really don't want that job. Not here, not there, not anywhere. I don't blame you. One person can't generate and then maintain all the enthusiasm and momentum for anything, be it a writing assignment or relationship. It's a quick path to empty tanks...

Gearing up for NaNoWriMo

My blogs languish, and it's not without a bit of guilt that I admit it's a very baaaaaad thing for a writer to have a blog and then not keep it fresh. So I joined NaBloWriMo and committed to updating two of my blogs daily for the entire month of October. This will work out nicely with my Queen of Socks blog which hosts Donna Druchunas and her new knitting book on October 18. I'll have lots of "pillar articles" surrounding her tour stop which will drive more traffic to the blog. My second blog is for hubbo and his stained glass job. I've been wanting to document this one since the beginning of the year and never got around to doing anything, so now I've made a start. Take a peek here.

Walking at least a mile every day, and I got the new Lilias Folan book and DVD so plenty of yoga in my life, too. I think in my next career I'll become a yoga instructor. Lilias looks so good for someone over 70.

Oh, and I WILL get the blog book tour guide completed before the month is out, and perhaps even before all you WWW gals meet at the conference.

So how's it going with you? Inez keeping out of trouble? I'm just waiting for her to goof again and really end up pregnant!
