pardon my wintry dust here at rusvw.net
Greetings, all: Notice anything different? I’m testing out a few wintry themes…I think I like this one more than the retro snowflake theme I had up for about 24 hours or so… I’m really struggling with WordPress and Bluehost, though. I feel so limited as to what I can do. I want to put new [...]
Voir Dud
Ugh. Ok. It was an experience. I’ll give it that much. But to sit in a room for 8 hours without a single jury pool being called for selection? A major disappointment today as there was complete inaction on behalf of the need for jurors for upcoming trials. Here’s to a better Friday, all!
back. for good, I hope
Hi, all. I am back online. A long five weeks it has been. And through it all, I’d like to think that I’ve grown a little as a writer and as a human being. Any experience gives you that opportunity, though….right? I won’t bore you with the details of my absence. They may trickle in [...]
Lovin’ the Groove, Findin’ the Time
It’s official. The meetings are now in full swing, and the big hand is zooming around the clock faster than I can ever remember. I am in the midst of the week before school begins, and I am feeling the ever-increasing pressure to get everything ready before Monday, the first day of school. I could [...]
zoned
As I hit the home stretch with this piece, I dare ask a few questions for serious discussion: Should writers take risks with their writing that some may deem innapropriate, including members of the writer’s family and those in his/her social/professional circle? When a writer shows you, the reader, his/her raw side, do you appreciate [...]
Failed the sarcastic test…
Thanks to Janet for showing me the way to this…(and evidently, I mean that sincerely). :) You’re Not Sarcastic At all Sarcasm isn’t for you, and you really don’t appreciate it when people get their snark on. You still have a great sense of humor. You just prefer a silly joke to a sarcastic one. [...]
Faith in a Seed
MP tossed a seed into a mug one day, said a little wish, and hoped to witness the birth of a flower. Yesterday, her seed matured and a beautiful sunflower introduced herself to the world. MP believes. She has faith in a seed, and now a whole lot more.
The Time To Write
The smartest thing I did at the beginning of this small three-day break is clean off my desk, find the space to plug in my laptop, and sit down and write. It’s been weeks since I’ve been able to do this, and I’ve dropped the ball on staying in touch with all of my friends. [...]
three minutes
I’ve set the timer: three minutes to write. I’m working on a feature piece for a local parenting mag that focuses on choosing the right theater arts program. When I saw the theme for the upcoming issue (in August), I realized that there’s so much that goes into choosing the right program, but really, most [...]
Monday Memories: What Kids Really Want from Dads
Monday Memories: Did I ever tell you about writing a daddy column for our local paper? Here’s a blast from the past. I published this in January of 2003….and reading it now is a gentle reminder to keep what’s most important at the top of my am-doing list at all times… What Kids Really [...]
