July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
The Sunday News! Seven WDC authors were just promoted to Moderator status! ("Note: Congratulations to...") Visit one of their ports and review one of their items...and in your entry here, now would be a good time to tell us what your goals are for being with WDC (whether you're a newbie or someone who's been around the block awhile). Make sure you include your review, using the Invalid Review  tag.  I reviewed
I'm not sure everyone who writes with WDC has goals for being with the website. When I joined I was looking for a place to keep the articles I was writing because the things I write seem to come up missing. I like reviewing books. My first Blog was with Google. I reviewed a few books for that blog. WDC has given me a place to keep my short reviews and incentive to continue reading and reviewing through "The Monthly Reading Challenge." I always wanted to write a novel of my own and now I am working slowly on one. I have written several chapters. So, far I am keeping it safe. It needs a lot of editing. Someday I will post the chapters in my portfolio. (There is a red squirrel just hopped into my view through my window. He is watching me type and eating a black walnut for breakfast.  I'm morning entertainment for wildlife).When I found New Horizons Academy I was happy to know I could continue my writing education. There are some more classes I would like to take but find myself swamped with odd amounts of busyness the last two semesters. Right now my goals I would like to achieve are to do more reviews. Write some more stories about the Adventures of Bea, Meagan and Neil, and work on my book (the short one I just wrote for the 30-Day Challenge needs to be lenghthened). I need to organize my portfolio. I would like to find a subject I like and write a news article about it. News is entertaining. I will continue to blog. I give out the URL to my blog once in awhile. This spring I am going to finish organizing my basement which will give me more control over the house again. In turn, this gives me more time to write. When I first started traveling on the internet I wrote a column for a bird club about pet parrots. The bird club has disbanded. But, I still have the gifts and awards I won while I was writing for them. So, I have been writing things regularly since the 90's. I think if you want to write well just getting involved in WDC helps that goal. Happy Writing!  Write On! |
