| I admit I've missed writing about non-book-related things. Not that I have much outside that realm to write about - well, no that is not true.
Speaking with my Mama recently about my brother and some of the difference between he and I, she mentioned while my brother "wears his heart on his sleeve", I always keep things "close to my chest". Which, I deuce, means that my brother over-shares and I under-share.
What does this have to do with writing? Well, most successful bloggers are chronic over-sharers (is that even a word?) - and I am not. Therefore, I have nothing to write about, not because there are no thoughts, but because sharing them isn't something I'm inclined to do.
However, if I want to become a writer - which is the most likely profession for me to aspire to - then I must venture into the world of over-sharing. And I am inclined to follow to most common advice give to aspiring writers, which is "To Write!"
And since I have nothing else to add, I leave you with a pointless ramble and no conclusion.

| I've joined the exodus and moved my blog to blogspot. I don't write daily stories or opinionated rants anymore.
I write only about books and reading. If you are interested, you can find
my ramblings at Theading Roughts
(which several of you will remember.) Other then that, I am keeping this site alive, but not active, to read other's blogs and be able to comment. So long and thanks for all the fish! | | |

| Church sales can be an excellent place to find Classic and Older Christian books, as well as the occasional fiction or newer classic. For example, I stopped by a Methodist Church's Rummage Sale recently and for the low price of $3.50, purchased: Susanna: Mother of the Wesley by Rebecca Lamar Harmon Susanna Wesley: The Mother of John and Charles Wesley by Arnold A. Dallimore Worth by A. LaFaye Pictures of Hollis Woods by Patricia Reilly Giff Troilus and Cressida by Geoffrey Chaucer Beyond Our Selves by Catherine Marshall The Heart of Wesley's Journal by John Wesley Here I Stand: A Life of Martin Luther by Roland Bainton The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald | | |
| It's National Novel Writing Month! I am once again participating in this joyous and chaotic event. With the always constant encouragement from my always wonderful husband, I am throwing myself into the sea of literary abandon. Who is with me!?! And remember, dear reader, that just because I am not writing on xanga does not mean I am not writing! Esprit de l'escalier: "The best time for planning a book is while you're doing the dishes." ~ Agatha Christie Theading Roughts: When I googled "best books on writing" this book repeatedly appeared. Now that I am nearly finished, I can confidentialy say that it is worthy of all the accolades and "best" labels. If you are a writer, wish to be a write, or enjoy reading about writing, this is a must-read. I highly recommend! | | |
