Something Accomplished

I’ve already written about this at The Write Point, but I wanted to update here too.

Over the weekend, I participated in Dr. Mani’s Heart Kids Blogathon by doing my own “mini-blogathon” over at the internet marketing & more blog. It was a lot of fun! I did a series of posts on Overcoming Writer’s Block. So far, there has been some great feedback both on the blog and via email. If you go check it out, let me know what you think.

My kids have all been ill over the past 2 weeks and up until Saturday night, I’d been well. But, late Saturday evening, I began to feel poorly and by time I woke up Sunday morning, I had a horrible cold. So, after resting much of the day Sunday, I’m now up trying to work on my various projects and taking care of kids. Not a fun thing to do when you feel awful and just want to go to bed. Too bad I couldn’t get my husband to take the day off today. I’m sure it would have done much to help get me well quickly.

Anyway, I’m in the process of updating and reworking the Write Point site. It’s now set up with a great blogging platform called blog i360. So far, I really like it. There’s a review of the service over at internet marketing & more if you want to take a look. I will let you know when the new stuff is live.

While I was resting yesterday in my sick health, I found the beginnings of a new story taking shape within my head. Unforutnately, the details are a little sketchy since I didn’t get up to take notes. I think I can figure it out, though. The biggest part I remember was a title -

Good Things Come.

Not sure where it will lead but I think it’ll be a fun project to work on. Perhaps I’ll post bit and pieces here now and then for you all to review. What do you think?

So – that’s it for now, I think. Sounds like the kids are finished with their lunch . . .

New Name, New Header

In order to differentiate this blog with my “professional” Write Point website, I’ve decided to change the name here. As a result, the header has been changed to reflect the new name. Overall, I think this change will be beneficial to this blog and it’s content.

The web address will remain the same – http://thewritepoint.wordpress.com to avoid that confusion.

Since this blog is about the writing life as I see it, I thought “Margin of Error” was a good fit.

Let me know what you think! Tell me if you love or even if you hate it.

Distractions from Writing

Lunchtime. Yesterday. I made Hot Pockets for the kids and I. Nice change after eating soup all week with sick kids. So, got everyone’s pockets heated up, took mine out of the microwave, took a bite and holy schmuk!

That bugger burned my lip!

Note to self: Don’t eat Hot Pockets straight out of the microwave.

Today I have a nice little blister right on my bottom lip. Poor lip. Not a good place for a blister. And as long as I don’t try eat anything else, it really doesn’t hurt. Feels kinda weird, but not painful. Kinda like a blood blister or something.

I mean, it’s just there. A small bump on my lip. I can’t even see the thing, for crying out loud!

But . . . It’s very distracting.

You wouldn’t think it would be. But it is.

Whew!

Summer is now over. Kids are heading back school. And I’m back!

Sorry for the long absence. I was participating in a challenge during the month of August and not really doing much writing. So, I took a break from this blog. Now that the challenge is over, I’ll be posting here again.

You can check out my blog from the challenge by heading to my 30 Day Challenge Blog if you’d like.

I’ll be back in full swing next week. Just wanted to get a quick post off to let you all know what’s up. Have a great weekend! Hope you’re enjoying your quiet house if the kids have gone back to school.

And I’ll see you soon!
