November 27 Check-in

I was honoured yet again to guest blog, this time for a fellow writer and friend I met at the writers conference last spring. You can check it out here. (I’m so glad I learned to create a link without including the address. Thank you to N.J. Lindquist.)

I also, through several hours of trial and error, got some photos posted. I’ve very much enjoyed the Art Every Day Month challenge. I’ve also posted three other galleries you can view on the site’s main page. All this work with my photos makes me want to get them out there for sale. It’s something to consider for the New Year.

I thought of over thirty ideas for picture books. Now to get busy writing them. Thanks to the Picture Book Idea Month challenge. Although the challenge is winding down, there are lots of great articles on the site.

I chatted with Deb on Friday, and we’re nearing the finish line. (Okay, really it’s just a phantom finish line, since we still need to get a publisher and make any changes he or she suggests. One hurdle at a time.)

Next week, Carolyn and I will start connecting regularly by telephone to tweak her manuscript. I’m awaiting a response from her publisher re: preferred formatting. Hopefully, it’s exactly the way I’ve done it. Is that asking too much? Hm!

As I was reviewing Wednesday’s check-in, I came across “skit for Christmas Eve.” Probably should get busy on that, huh?

And that whole outline thing for my children’s chapbook…just added it to my To Do list so I don’t forget. The 30th rapidly approacheth.

Because of a volunteer position I’ve taken on, I’ve been offered free registration for next year’s writers conference. I’m thinking I’ll leave developing a workshop idea on the back burner…unless, of course, the plan comes to me full blown while I sleep. Wake up, Stephanie. You must be sleeping now.

Same is true of those Skype writing classes. One day…

All’s quiet on the Christian Editing Services front, but I still have three potential clients in the queue.

My to-be-read pile of books, magazines, newsletters, and blogs is growing. Reading is on my Sunday To Do list. I really must stick to that. I’ve accepted the fact that I’ll never read everything I want to – not unless we win the lottery and I don’t do anything else. Like that’s gonna happen.

Course reading…pretty much on track

Essay and research paper…I’ve still got a month and a couple of days. *sigh*

Online PT exam…January – or February

What with all this craziness, I am pleased to announce that I did exercise three times last week. If I want to stay healthy and accomplish a fraction of the above, I must exercise, eat well, and get more sleep. Perhaps, these goals need to be at the top of my list rather than the bottom.

  2. Sounds like progress to me! Thanksgiving to Christmas is always a blur, but I hope to keep my goal in sight as much as possible. Wishing you the same!
