Gack! I missed it – the “Round of Words in 80 days,” where writers support each other by publicly stating their goals, and posting their weekly progress. I participated in the last go-round, and found it so beneficial. Folks I’d never met before visited my blog and cheered me on. I did the same for(…)

When ROW80′s emblem starts looking like a donut
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).

ROW80 Check in: Round 1, Week 1
Woot! It’s my first ROW80 check in ever! It’s my first ROW80 FAIL ever! The first day the kids were back to school last week, I woke up sick. One of those upper-respiratory things, where you’re head is full of gunk, raging headache, the works. Since then, it’s moved to my chest, which for an(…)
