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. |
| War Chest Wednesday! From a previous challenger... Are you in any writing groups outside of WDC (like in your school or your community)? Have you/would you share blog entries in that group? How would you go about doing it, given the logistics of trying to share something that is on the internet in a physical group setting?   In 1972 ? (I think the year is right if it isn't 1972 is close) there was a writing group in a town nearby, that I was a part of at the time. The leaders were writing plays and they were very helpful. They were encouraging. Then, I somehow drifted away from the group. I recall hearing that a lot of the poets in the group got together and published a book. I was very happy to hear about it. I don't know of any writing groups in the area. If there was one and they would allow me to join I would probably be happy to do so. Sure, I would share my blog entries and other writings. I have given my blog address to several people. Plus, depending on the arrangement of the group I would or could print out written blogs to share. We use to share things we wrote every week in the previous groups I joined. I thought about printing out one of the WDC flyers and pinning it up on the bulletin boards of the two libraries I use most. I haven't done it because I don't go to the library very often any more. For one thing. I don't just get in the car and go places like I used to when I had my own car. And, since I became a kindle user in 2013 I depend on the internet more for reading. This is a small town area. It isn't good to become closed off from society in a small town sphere You can become fairly isolated quickly when that happens. I tried several years ago to join a book club but that did not work out. The internet is a wonderful place but it does not meet all the social needs that clubs and meetings with real people provide. ![Merit Badge in New Horizons Academy
