IWSG Wednesday

 

The first Wednesday of every month is officially IWSG day. Members post about their doubts and fears, discuss struggles and triumphs, and offer words of encouragement to others who are struggling.

Thanks, as always, to Alex Cavanaugh, founder and Ninja Captain extraordinaire and our awesome co-hosts.

The IWSG monthly question can be found under the IWSG Sign-up tab on the Insecure Writer's Support Group Blog.  Remember it’s optional.

December 2 question – Are there months or time of the year that you are more productive with your writing than other months, and why?  Not really. What about you?

November/December Reviews in no particular order.

QUEST AND ADVENTURES by Judy and Keith

This is a lovely book for young people. There are a wide variety of tales including a journey undertaken by a colony of ants, talking earthworms, and my particular favorite, a young girl trying to break into the all male world of wizards. The stories are a nice length that can be read to a little one or read by young readers. And the authors weave educational facts in with the magic.

A very enjoyable read.

EMOTIONAL TRUTHS of RELATIONSHIPS by Balroop Singh

As humans our emotions are all over the boards. We love. We hate. We're happy.
We're sad. We're angry. We're ecstatic. Some of these responses make us feel good, others bad. This book breaks down our emotions  and shows different ways to turn the negative into a positive.

THE AWAY PLACE by Susanne Marie Knight

Who would expect to encounter magic, especially in the form of the east and north winds?  But that's what happens when Marta Jordan decides to end it all after a series of tragic events leaves her bereft of hope. Not only do the delightful winds--Sola and Quill--intervene, they introduce sexy Joe Noble into her life, who's dealing with his own set of issues. After that the magic begins.

This charming tale deftly combines love and magic in a modern-day fairy tale.

It's Tuesday

 Did you have a wondrous Thanksgiving, blogger buds? Ours was quiet. We did zoom with the daughter and SIL. AND, they sent us this wonderful chocolate bourbon pecan pie. They ordered it from a bakery in Philly.  What surprised me about the pie, is that it came in a real pie tin and not a disposable. Who'd a thought?

Bet you're wondering why I'm sharing a picture of dead leaves and Iris blades. It's my plant sonogram:) Look at the frontal blade closely. It looks like a shadow, but the way the sun is shining through it, you can see the flower inside. See it?

Happy December 1st.

AND

For grins and giggles I ordered the HH some readers

with built-in lights for bedtime reading.  They seem to work well.

AND

Callie catnapping.

AND

The tree is up. The lump in the corner is the dog.

The HH put the outdoor lights and Frosty up. When I went out to take a look I found blooming violets surrounding the snowman. The world has gone mad. Mad I say.

AND

That's all folks.

Happy Thanksgiving

Did You Know

 

Did you know, congress passed the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798, allowing them to jail newsmen writing against the President, against congress or the government, if they considered it malevolent or scandalous? Yes, it did violate the First Amendment.

This and That Tuesday

 Tuesday's funny-

We got married on Christmas Eve and every year the HH gets me a Christmas ornament.  This year he ordered online. When he received it, he was a bit surprised at the amount of skin the little fairy was showing and immediately dubbed her The Hookup Fairy.
