But this morning I'm finally able to sit up at my counter for a bit and do a little catching up. The door leads to our deck outside. I've never written out there, but maybe in the spring I'll give it a go. <br /><br />I know that the IWSG is a place to share our struggles and to seek help and encouragement; but more importantly, I think it is a place to share positive things and helpful information. It's the elementary teacher in me ~ I can't help it. So my goal with my IWSG posts is to write more lighthearted pieces. I'm hoping to put more humor into them in the future, since humor is the most difficult thing for me to write. Thanks for visiting.

Sorry, I'm just re...Thanks for visiting, Bill! Sorry, I'm just responding now ~ been under the weather. I've been with the IWSG for about 18 months. Basically it's a way for writers and aspiring writers to connect, interact, and share resources, insecurities, and encouragement on-line. On the first Wednesday of the month members post a piece about their writing experiences and try to visit at least a dozen members websites. Miss two months and your name gets dropped from the member list, But you can always come back. Most Wednesdays someone, usually one of the administers of the site, will also post a piece, mostly with information about writing, marketing, publishing. Most important for me has been making some great on-line friends and having writing people to connect with so I'm not floundering around on my own in the dark. Have a happy week!

Yes I did enter the A to Z, it's the second time I have done it but I am not a member of the IWSG as I cannot get my head round what it's for and I'm not a writer but I have helped out with a couple of books.

In response to your request, I have put a blog archive on for you, and you can find it by looking at the right hand column of my blog and scrolling down! I had one on a long, long time ago but removed it accidentally. LOL! To be honest, I didn't understand all the options for the drop down menu, but I tried a couple and chose the drop down menu. It will bring you to all of the posts that I have made since I began my blog in February 2012. I hope this helps, and thank you so much for caring enough and for taking your valuable time to look at my older posts, it means so much to me. :)Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12692170857496442623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-31977002950856777522015-11-05T12:46:10.323-07:002015-11-05T12:46:10.323-07:00Thank you, Brandon, and good luck right back at yo...Thank you, Brandon, and good luck right back at you! That sounds like a lovely spot to write. I haven't tried my porch. But that will have to wait until spring because we had our first bit of snow last night. I'll be returning your visit shortly ~ i'm flat on my back with a medical issue and am pacing myself slowly.

Here in SC fall is as nice as spring and there is a sense of quiet, filled only with the soft noises of nature that really help the writing mood. Good luck with your writing.

I love theatre and did some in university, but rocks won. Perhaps your daughter will have a career or an avocation for life. I have a geologist sister who has done theatre throughout her career in Calgary. I can't post a blog without photos; I'm far too visual and love photography. And having worked 25 years with English language learners, I know the value of images!

I enjoyed your positive post with it's wise words about being strong in your own skin and about knowing that you did your best on your book and letting it go. I never thought about a possible cover for my book ~ that seems so far off ~ but when you suggested that I might use the picture of my brother and I, it hit me as perfect!
