I’m sure you’ve all heard the saying “March comes in like a lion, and out like a lamb.” Around here, our mild winter hasn’t been very lion-like in terms of making its presence felt. (Not that I’m complaining, mind you). Still, we’re all looking forward to spring, and seeing colors other than brown and gray…
Hi, all, it’s time for the ROW80 check-in! I’m really excited about this one, because I actually have progress to share. So, let’s get to it: My goals: 1. Check-ins on Sundays. Done! 2. Blog posts on Tues/Fri schedule. I posted on Tuesday about How to celebrate Mardi Gras in front of your computer, which…
Hmm, it was hard to come up with a ROW80 theme this week. We have President’s Day (grade-school children in tall hats and fake beards, reading patriotic poetry), Mardi Gras (wild, bead-throwing, it-stays-in-Vegas revelry), and for some of us, Lent (religious, penitent, swearing off – gasp! – chocolate).

It’s ROW80 time! Things are picking up here at Casa Owen, and I’ve made some changes to my goals that I think will help me better manage my time. Here we go… 1. ROW80 check ins on Sundays. Done! 2. Continue blog posting on a M/W/F schedule. After a lot of consideration, I’ve revamped my…
Welcome to Watercooler Wednesday, where the water is above-average, the topics are bubbly, and the company is sparkling. We’re all shiny-new in the first flush of our 2012 goals, optimistic about the new year. In the writing community, I’ve read about goals that reflect my own: taking command of one’s schedule; finishing that work-in-progress; blogging…
Welcome to Watercooler Wednesday, where the water is above-average, the topics are bubbly, and the company is sparkling. Now that NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) has begun, many crazy people writers are willingly disrupting their lives, sneaking peeks at their WIPs during their day jobs, imposing upon testy patient family members, and imbibing large quantities…
