I created and uploaded a word search puzzle to my website last night. 56 words in total. I’d created one before as a test but made a mistake by putting a space in between words which doesn’t work and I couldn’t delete it afterwards. It’s really difficult to type a two-word clue and not hit the space bar between the words.
Click on the first letter, drag the mouse across to the last letter and click again. If you’re right, the letters will highlight in green and the word will be crossed out on the list below. If you’re wrong, the word will highlight in red. Like the jigsaws, it’s not linked to the website right now but it can be accessed at…
After a rather productive evening on the website front, I have 33 jigsaw puzzles online. Still don’t have them linked to my homepage but they can be accessed via this link…
I’m going to add a “Fun Stuff” area to my website. One of the things I’ll be adding is jigsaw puzzles of some of the photos from my photo gallery pages. Not sure what else will be going up there yet, maybe some “Free” short stories, crossword puzzles or word search puzzles.
Like I said… Fun Stuff!
When I get it finished, I’ll post the news here so keep checking back.
I can honestly say I’ve gotten more writing done today than in a very long time. I have my novel, Sarah’s Gift, broken up into 3 chapter files. I’m happy to say, I finally got out of the chapters 1-3 file today, worked through the addition of scenes in chapters 4-6 and am now in chapters 7-9. Woo hoo!!!
Saw this link on the BBC news (Wales) site this morning. I fit the grandmother criteria. Just not the age. Hopefully, I’ll get the call before then. Yowzers! Here’s the link to the article…
This is the subject of the next 250 word prompt from my local writers’ group. I’ve got an idea in mind so I’ll see what comes of it when the time comes to write it.
Have a couple of other writing priorities that need attending to first.
I’ve found out the deadline has been extended to July 1st. Can I do it? I’m thinking the first 25-30 pages of the manuscript are pretty clean (just need to get rid of some “notes to self”) so it’s just a matter of working on the synopsis. Depending on how long it ends up being, is how many pages of manuscript I’ll be able to include.
It was good to see everyone in the formal setting of our group. Not that it’s formal by any means. There were a few missing faces and one that was able to come back for today.
Our guest speaker was Carol Williams, author of Emma Field Book 1 and Book 2. She gave an interesting talk on the role of women over the years – especially those who dared to break the “mould” and attempt to change things as far back as the 1840s.
