In the Writer’s House #38: It’s NaNoWriMo Time #amwriting #nanowrimo2018

Sorry I’ve been absent lately. I’ve been busy sending out letters with copies of my article from Family Magazine to military libraries and then I cleaned my office (sort of) in prep for National Novel Writing Month. So far I’ve sent about 25 letters to Air Force libraries. Then I will tackle Navy or Army. […]

Reading Wrap Up: June 2018 #amreading #summer reading

School is going well so far around here, and we are anticipating when the fall temps will arrive.

I got a call last week from a church friend who said, “I’m reading about a famous author in my […]

Reading Wrap Up: May 2018 #amreading

May was a busy month! There was school to finish, Mother’s Day, our vacation (in Myrtle Beach, glad we went when we did!), Memorial Day! So I didn’t read as many books as some months.  I did manage to read 7 books, all fiction. The book, Dangerous Illusions by Irene Hannon, was a new-to-me author […]

In the Writer’s House #35 #amwriting #Homeschooling

So, today is our first day of our new school year in the Connell house. I like to start after Labor Day here in the U.S., since it is always so hot anyway. And almost every children’s book or television show mentioning the school year says school is from September to May. I agree. So, […]
