Ever Bite off More than You Can Chew?
Yep, that's me. I had to work Saturday, and so I told everyone I could have everything done by Sunday--including making up a bear order, reviewing someone's 56 pages, catching up on my word count on Plight of the Wolf, lessons, newsletter, a newsletter article, and a guest blog.So let's see--bear halfway done. 56 pages not read not sure on the word count--can't remember what I should ...

Heartfelt Condolences to those at Fort Hood
Fort Hood is just down the road from us. I was stationed there as a brand new 2LT. It wasn't my favorite assignment. At the time, there wasn't a mall, no theater, only x-rated theaters, pawn shops and well, it wasn't a great place for a single brand new female officer. But you felt pretty safe. I was the 1st Cav Div Safety Officer and reporting deaths to the headquarters was one of my jobs. We ...

Autumn, Mean Anything to You? Relative Danger is Out!!!
Talimena Scenic Drive, OklahomaIf I could, I'd love to live somewhere that we had seasons--like this. I've lived in places that had the most beautiful fall colors--New Jersey, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Colorado, Oregon, California and places that didn't--Florida and...*sigh* Texas. And yet I love the cooler mornings and still warm afternoons, the chance to wear something other than the usual ...

An Ordered Life or Disordered?
Wouldn't you love to have their energy first thing in the morning?I wonder what they have their sights set on. Or are they just out for a bit of sport?When you get up in the morning, do you just wing it? Or do you have a plan? Do you have a routine that you fall into day after day? Ever plan stuff and it's all thrown asunder by something else?Think if you were a wolf--eating, sleeping, ...

Hmm, No Nanowrimo!
I tried to log in, but can't. I tried having them send me my password. But they never do. I contacted them about their bug. No response. But that's okay. Setting writing goals is something I do anyway. And so yesterday, I wrote 4,000 words on Plight of the Wolf. I should have written more. It's my only day off until Friday, but I was setting up my Conflict class, finishing up lesson assignments ...

Time for National Novel Writing Month!!!
Because of edits on Seduced by the Wolf and The Accidental Highland Hero, and my hard drive crashing, I got behind with my weekly/daily goal for Plight of the Wolf. I can't catch up on my lost weeks, but I still need to go forward with my personal goal of 7,000 per week. Although for this, I need to write 50,000. If I write that much, I will be nearly at my minimum goal for the story, and ...

Time for Halloween Fun! Or not...
I wish my wolf could come with me to work today. He's perfectly cast against the fall foliage for this pre-Halloween post. And he'd definitely scare a few folks for the occasion, don't you think? It's Halloween for me today as I dress up in a contemporary hodgepodge version of a Renaissance/Medieval affair for work. We're really short on personnel at the library today. We usually are on ...
