Week 14 of our 365 Photo Challenge. This week marks the 100th photo posted for the year. As I mentioned, we were on vacation last week for the kids’ Spring Break. We flew across the country to Maryland and stayed near where I grew up. Last year, our daughter and I did the American History…
This week for our How I Write series, my accountability group asked, “What’s the last thing you did strictly for fun? Strictly for yourself?” “Oh, easy question!” I hear you… but take a second and think about it! We get so caught up in our daily routines that it’s all work, work, work. Or at…
Spring forward. Spring Cleaning. Renewal. Rebirth. Awakening. These are all clichés associated with spring. Now, we all know that clichés become trite and commonplace for good reason.

This week, my accountability group is writing about “Holiday Plans and Are You Writing?” Last week, we blogged about the topic of “Where do you stand?” in terms of our writer’s journeys. The entries are part of our How I Write series. Ya know, I’ve always wondered about Chris Baty’s sanity for picking November for…
Last week’s post on How We Buckle Down and Focus on Our Writing, another entry in our How I Write series, really got me thinking since it didn’t seem like I was physcially or mentally able to sit down and focus this past week. The result was the topic that I challenged my accountability group…
This week my accountability group is blogging about how we buckle down and focus on our writing to inspire our creativity as a few of us are participating in this year’s NaNoWriMo challenge. Last week’s post on research strategies and sources is also part of our How I Write series. The title of this post…
