Happy Fourth of July!
What will you be doing this weekend?
Will you be exhibiting any of the Happiness/Joy emotions as outlined at The Bookshelf Muse?
Perhaps you will be gathering story or article ideas close to home, as suggested in this Funds For Writers article by Beth Bartlett.
Or maybe you'd like to enter the Glimmer Train Very Short Fiction Contest. Hurry, though, the deadline to enter is July 31, 2010. Entry fee is $15 and First Prize is $1200.
BTW, if you haven't seen Monday's post, When Did You Know?, you might want to join in the fun. There's a fabulous discussion going about how, when, and why the need to write came about for each of us.

ReplyDeleteThanks for asking, Karen!
ReplyDeleteWe have church on Sunday, of course--it might not look too swift for the pastor and wife to be absent--then Monday we're having some friends over for a cookout. See my blog for a simple Yankee Doodle Dandy cake recipe.
Happy Freedom from Oppresion Day,

I always spend the 4th with my wife's family, who mostly live nearby. They are from Ecuador originally, but have all become U.S. citizens and are very proud of it.
ReplyDeleteYou and your family have a great week end!

Hey Karen,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment on my blog. Please feel free to enter the giveaway. I had one person win 2 things in 2 weeks. I just try to do only 3 in a month. Because I get so many going on my blog at once. And this one has 12 winners:) Not pushing but please, don't let that stop you from entering.
