Ah, it’s been a long time. I’ve missed the last two months because I was attending writing workshops – one in Kingston with a fellow writers’ group member and one in Sudbury, which I turned into a long weekend and visit with family.
It’s going to be good to see everyone and get back into the groove. As I mentioned in a previous post, I kept in touch with the group via our monthly writing prompts. I’ve not got a clue what to write for the one for tomorrow War and Peace. So I think I’m going to run with scissors and not do one at all. After all, they’ll have me in person! And besides that, we’ve got a guest speaker coming in to speak to us.
I’ll write again after the meeting with a recap of the mornings’ events.
Was at work yesterday afternoon when the earthquake hit. The building shook under our feet (my office is on the 2nd floor) for about 30 seconds. Kind of an eerie feeling. Different than when the building vibrates in the winter during snow removal. Different than when a tractor-trailer is left running outside the building.
So it was a bit like a James Bond martini – shaken not stirred.
I just uploaded my most recent podcast. I think you’ll find it interesting. Please have a listen and come back here and leave your comments. I’m anxious to receive your feedback.
I’m not so sure about this one. For some reason, I ended up getting nervous and tongue-tied. Even to the point of giving my poor digital recorder the raspberry! So I might take it down, re-record it and post it again. I’ve not decided yet.
A bit of a lie in – 6:30, or thereabouts. But it was a long and somewhat sleepless night. Thunderstorm rolled through in the wee hours (maybe around 1:00) then another a couple of hours later – this time just rain. WE have a metal ridge cap on our kitchen roof (just outside the bedroom window) so it makes for a lot of noise.
Must get some coffee down my neck and see if the jolt of caffeine will wake me up.
My alarm dog went off about fifteen minutes ago and he wasn’t taking “no” for an answer. What can I say, he has the patience of a gnat. But then what kind of patience does a gnat really have? Does anyone know?
Anyway, here I am up and with my face in the computer. No lie-in for me this morning. Perhaps my hubby will answer the call of the alarm dog tomorrow morning.
This is much more user-friendly once it’s set up (thanks to my webmaster for doing that) but now that the set-up aggro is over and done with, its so much easier than copying and pasting code and uploading everything. Not that knowing how to do that is a bad thing… I just like things to be simple.
I’m a firm believer in the KISS method… Keep It Simple St****.
My webmaster has downloaded a podcast generator program so we’re now using it so the page looks more like the rest of my site or at the very least my blog, not to mention more professional…
