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.
I so agree! I'm about to throw up on the election rhetoric and especially the attacks and counter-attacks. Not to mention what those can do to growing children's psyches!
My kids were in 4-H and one of them wanted to raise a goat. I bought 2 adult females, Alpines; one had three kids and the other two. After a few years, we had a small herd. We drank and sold milk. We also made yogurts.
Nice, I like the action.
Is it the movie, The Rouge Stallion? I think it took place either in Australia and/or New Zealand. I recall watching something like that on TV.
Prompt- When you sit down to blog, do you outline what you're going to write or do you just free write and let your thoughts take you where ever?
I just write whatever or wherever usually. Although, I generally edit and rewrite when I find odd sentences or wording which is not self-explanatory. For instance, if I say That is cold. I would come back delete the word that and say the Ice is cold. Because I think when we read writing the reader can often put a twist on the meaning if it(the sentence) is not exact about the meaning. Plus, this is one of my failings if I'm in a hurry.
I really rarely outline anything I am writing. If it comes out of my thoughts one way and I don't like it, I will change it.
Once had a writing teacher who said, "Write it. Edit it, then let it set for a week and read it." When blogging I cannot let it set a week. If it is a short story and there is time, I will let it set overnight. Then, read it, make changes, and post it. The teacher's comment does help when reviewing writings and trying to make it better.

knocks second bird to the ground.
