Thanks for stopping by, my fellow ROWers…and all you other faithful readers.
I did a little work on the outline of my children’s chapter book only to discover if I want to make this a full length book, which I do, I’ll have to rewrite the first chapter. Right now, I think I’ve crammed too much information into those first dozen pages. It has the makings of a fun short story, but that’s not what I’m aiming for. Back to the drawing board.
And speaking of the drawing board…As far as visual arts goes, although I don’t have a working DSLR, I do have enough photos to set up my own site. The good news there, Word Press, my fave DIY site, has a step-by-step way to set up shop. The do say to give yourself a day, so I will do that in the near future.
Deb and I will be talking on Friday to go over the progress I’ve yet to make this week. I still have Wednesday and Thursday. I can do this.
Carolyn has the formatted manuscript. She is headed out of town for a few days, so we will begin our over the phone edit next week.
Skit for Christmas Eve…Sent off for approval, but that shouldn’t be a problem. It’s nice to get back into writing skits again. I was doing it every Christmas for a number of years.
Instead of creating 30 pieces of art in the Art Every Day Challenge, I was able to put together 60+. But before you get too impressed, some of that creativity was merely editing and posting some photos. Taking of said photos happened over a number of years.
I did come up with 30+ ideas in the Picture Book Idea Month Challenge and have now added several of my fellow participants to my Twitter account. I’m looking forward to staying motivated – and to motivating my fellow children’s writers over the months ahead. (If you want to pop by, just use the #pbim or #PiBoIdMo hashtag.)
I’m going to have to start setting aside time to do more reading. I am, however, 100 percent on track with my course reading. I also hope to make a push on the essay this week, maybe even write it in its entirety. It shouldn’t be too hard if I just get at it. If I give myself a couple of weeks to do the research paper, I can be done both by mid-December. That would be good.
My new volunteer responsibilities haven’t really kicked in yet. I just have to be ready to hit the ground running once things start rolling. (Sorry about the mixed metaphors. It’s 1:35 a.m. and I’m ready for some shut-eye.)
I have two exercise sessions scheduled with my workout partner, but I’m gonna have to hustle to get the third one in this week. There’s still time. I’m gonna do this.
Hoping for another Twitter party to end Round 4 and looking forward to seeing many, if not all, of you back for Round 1 in January.
Let’s end this Round with a big push. Let’s see a record number of check marks beside our goals. Go team ROW80!
