A Little Birdie Told Me
3 October 2014
Edition I
Premier Edition of “A Little Birdie Told Me.”
Welcome one and all! I’ve embarked on (yet another) new feature, my newsletter, to go along with my web page once it’s up and running. (I’m rather in the dark on some of (most of) the technical bits and pieces. I’ve built computers and I’m aces on the user end. But the middle ground techie stuff – HELP ME!) I am planning to publish my newsletter quarterly, with seasonal tidbits, and event updates. Like the upcoming and ongoing release event.
Tessa Release Events
As you may know, October is a special month her at our press. Tessa got a new look, and she is getting printed! Her release date is the 31st of this month, which, of course, is Halloween. Festivities include a Release Party, reading and book signing that night. The celebration has begun already, however, as I am posting daily on my blog in a Countdown to Release Day. I have book reviews lined up, contests coming up, topical posts and an interview with Tessa herself on Release Day. I will also post devotionals on Sundays, and am looking to score an author interview or guest post. Plus, I have “sorpresa especiales” lined up for Saturdays! Be sure to join in!
RobinsNest, the Web Page
COMING SOON to a browser near you! As I understand it, my current blog can be upgraded to a web page. And that’s what I plan to do. I’ve a tutorial and/or webinar to watch that should help achieve this. Stay tuned.
NaNoWriMo
Less than a month to go folks! National Novel Writing Month begins 1 November. It will be this reporter’s first attempt; verily, it is this reporter’s first time ever knowing about it. This reporter has decided to take the plunge: I shall write a novel in thirty days! What about you? Are you a “planner” or a “pantser?” This reporter is definitely a pantser. What, you may ask, is a pantser? A pantser “… believes in hardcore spontaneity. On November 1, [I’ll] have a blank document and [my] imagination.” I will, however, review prep resources, and have at least a vague notion of my story, even if not a regulation outline. Also, I need to get on the stick and jump into some forums and find a buddy or two! Maybe one of my new writer friends can be my NaNoWriMo Buddy! Are ya’ll ready? Are you going to write? I am!
Novel Number Two
Novel Number Two is underway. It is a dark and disturbing story, dredged up from some dark and disturbing times in my life. I started it, but scratched it at the time. I have decided to continue on with it, and let Lizzie’s story be told. Entitled life.dot.com, it is lagging due to the demand of the current promotion beast, but will be prominent in the next edition. Expect this shortly after the (ahem) first of the year.
Happy Holidays
We have a plethora of birthdays coming up. Middle Son turned 34 in August, Daughter, my youngest, is 32 as of three weeks ago. First Born Son will be 36 in November. Granddaughter # Two turns five in November, and Granddaughter # One will be nine this year, two days before Christmas. We’ve gone through some variations on Family Dinner for Thanksgiving. But with only two exceptions, we’ve always been together for the holidays. I do love a big family gathering, especially at the holidays. What about you? What are some holiday traditions in your family? Share them with me; I’d love to hear from you!
And with that, here ends the Premier Edition of
A Little Birdie Told Me.
Thank you for being here!
