As part of Lesson 2, I need to evaluate my characters to make sure they’re being all they can be. I was thinking no big deal, I only have two characters. Piece of cake. Um. No. I have two point of view characters. I think I found all the others, … Continue reading →
Finally. I’ve finished the Week 1 lesson. I started at the beginning of December and just finished. The only worksheet I don’t think I filled out well was the “Where did you like your story” sheet. And I missed it because I got caught up in reading the story and … Continue reading →
I just learned how to nest pages on WordPress. Yes, instructions for how to do it were there in the sidebar all along, but I just figured it out today. My theme doesn’t fit more than four pages across comfortably, so I always had to find a way to keep … Continue reading →
The end for this week’s lesson (six-seven, eight weeks into it) is in sight! Less than fifty pages to go. One thing is recurring — cool as the idea of polar bears the world over using Panasonic ToughBooks to communicate may be, I’ve come to believe it’s not workable for … Continue reading →

I’m not sure how many weeks I’ve been on this week’s lesson now, but I’m still plugging along. I’m on page 240 of 320. Have I mentioned I really like this bear? I know Week 2 is on promises, and I see a few places where I’ll be making notes … Continue reading →

They’re planning a private celebration for themselves and a larger family gathering sometime this summer. Later this year, I’ll celebrate MY 50th year. That … Continue reading →
