Into a Writer's HeadWednesday, March 31, 2010I'm not here right now...I'm out celebrating finally finishing my NB entries. Whew! I thought this day would never come. Now it's time for rest and relaxation, right? What do you mean I'm supposed to go back to work tomorrow? Isn't this my time to enjoy the fruits of my labors? Oh, fine. Be that way. I'll celebrate tonight, go back to work tomorrow and start it all over again. But at least the portfolio will be done. Labels: national boards, teaching Monday, March 22, 2010Monday, March 15, 2010Creativity has been sucked out of me...I'm sure it will return some time around April 1st. Until then, enjoy this picture. Oh, how I wish i was back there. Wednesday, March 10, 2010Contest Opportunity!My good friend Emily is running a contest in conjunction with the release of her latest online novella, A DUKE FOR ALL SEASONS. Each month my readers vote for the direction the story should take and I write the next chapter. March is the last month a vote will enter readers in my March 31'st drawing for a $100 gift card. The link to the contest is: http://www.emilybryan.com/contest.htmNow, even if you're not a huge historical reader, you know you want a chance to win, so what are you waiting for? Go vote! Labels: contests, visiting bloggers Saturday, March 06, 2010I'm tryingto be a better blogger. So here you go, the second post in a week. Go me!I have about 4 weeks left to finish my National Boards, and I've come to some serious realizations: 1) It is not fun analyzing yourself. Especially not when you do it over. And over. And over. 2) It's way more fun writing books. 3) I used to be able to work on two projects at a time. Those days are long gone. Now I'm lucky if I can work on one project at a time. 4) Did I mention analyzing yourself stinks? 5) Too much thinking leaves you with a serious hurting brain, and no amount of ibuprofen or aspirin will help it. 6) There is a light at the end of the tunnel. But the light is very far away and somewhat dim. But I'm almost there, for better or for worse. Then it's back to 52 Weeks and planning my wedding. Gosh, why do those two things sound so easy right now? Labels: teaching Wednesday, March 03, 2010At a loss for words?This is how I'm feeling right now.I find that lately I'm feeling decidely un-witty. This could be due to many reasons. I'm going to chalk it up to the biggest reason...stress. Stress sucks, did you know that? So rather than try to think of some long rambling musing, I'm going to leave you with this: http://weffriddles.com It's evil. R turned me on to it last weekend and I spent 2 hours trying to solve one riddle. It's completely addictive. And you just gotta give it a try. Here's a hint, make sure you keep a word document or text document of the clues, because you may need them at various points. Labels: random musings, stress |
