News, Reviews, Previews

In my Weekender, find:
  • Some awesome articles
  • A blog review of the week
  • My ROW80 update
  • Next week's article run-down
Last Week:
This week's articles included Monday's review of Songbird Under a German Moon by Tricia Goyer, Tuesday's article about staying in balance, Wednesday update called Learning Through Failure (and I was corrected that no failure actually glared in my update - just my own hard-to-please standard), Thursday's writer's tip about correct citations (and a precious puppy pic), and an interview on Friday about Phillip Bryant, author of They Met at Shiloh. If you missed something, by all means go check it out.

Update:
Since my Learning Through Failure article, I've stepped up a few things. And I received a challenge to write a page a day. 

No, no. This isn't my month to write. It's my month to revise. Or so I thought. I contrived this great new premise for a new suspense just a few days before I received the challenge. Okay, I can add just a page a day of writing to my schedule. Especially now that my essays are graded. 

Yeah, right. You know how it feels to jump into a new project, be it book or craft or lemonade stand. Oh wait, *conjuring visions of childhood!* I don't know what I was thinking when I committed to write one page per day. Not that I can't do that; I can't seem to LIMIT it to just ONE! New story. So much to layout. And this time, I'm not plotting - what????? Ha, let's see where it goes.

So I've succeeded in writing a page a day since I got my challenge. I worked over some revision pages over the last couple of nights so I'm keeping up with that goal. I plan to spend the rest of my weekend marching through old world history and see if I can whip out the final articles for the medieval prom website I'm working on. (I also have a script to write - new goal coming soon on that one.)

Action on my goals is rolling along, until I get to the workouts (only one small one this week) and eating (many fast food meals - Yikes!). With my birthday out of the way and Sweet Hubby home from a work trip, I'm hoping to eliminate that again! And the old stand-by of hamburgers and french fries are out of the question for at least the next 30 days!

Coming up next week:
Monday - Book Review: It's a mystery - no really. I expect to review a book, but I haven't decided which one yet. :)
Tuesday - A2Z meme (you can still join here) ... C is for ...
Wednesday - Journaling the Journey Update
Thursday - Writer's Tip: Unnecessary Words
Friday - Author Interview with Staci Stallings!

I'm looking forward to next week! I hope to cut my remaining revision pages in half! What are your plans?

  1. Hi Marijilaine! I've been making the rounds today and thought I'd drop in and introduce myself since I am new to ROw80. It looks like you've got quite a lot happening and some great goals! Keep up the great work. It was certainly nice to meet you. :)
