Posted in Kelly, tagged , , on November 3, 2009 | 1 Comment »

Cross posted from my personal blog.
Sometimes I think it takes almost walking away from something to realize that what you currently have is truly a pretty good thing. That’s the lesson I learned last week. As I’ve shared with you guys here recently, I’d applied for a new job, still with the College but a [...]

Alison: 5 Ways to Be a Writer When You’re Not Writing

Posted in Alison, tagged , , , , on November 2, 2009 | 7 Comments »

I recently made the acquaintance of blogger and writer Alison Wells via Twitter, which just goes to show you that Twitter is NOT the useless waste of time that some people think it is.
Alison, who lives in Ireland, describes herself this way: “I am a full-time mother of four young children. Writing is the space [...]

Cross-posted from my personal blog. Warning: This is not my usual feel good, Happy Shack post.
For the last three days, I, like probably everyone else in the Jacksonville metro area, have been overcome with the story of Somer Thompson. The story made the national news, but for those of you out of the area who’ve [...]

Miranda: Yeah, I’m writing, but OUCH

What lengths will you go to in order to protect your creative time?

Partially cross-posted from my personal blog…
In my SLS class last night, we talked about values and time management and how our value structure plays a huge part in managing our time.  I show an inspirational video in each class, and the one I showed last night struck a chord with just about everyone in the [...]

Cathy: This too shall end…

This was posted on my blog before I retrieved my sons from their month-long visit with their father. I must have been missing them. A lot. I have them now and am not feeling nearly as wistful, typed with a grin.
I’m a Capricorn and I’m a parent. Capricorns are known for their [...]

Cathy: Of weekend, writing or not, organization and furniture, productivity or relaxation, beach, t-storms, dead battery, stand still traffic and old southern fishermen

Posted in Cathy, tagged , , , , on July 15, 2009 | 7 Comments »

I’m thinking again. Thinking of writing, thinking of editing, but waiting for editorial input from a few select friends in order to edit my manuscript. Of editing the poem I wrote the other day or not, or of writing the story I started or the one with the fully cast set of characters from about [...]

Kelly: The Things They Say About God

Posted in Kelly, tagged , , on May 18, 2009 | 2 Comments »

[Cross-post from my personal blog] The girls and I were eating breakfast Friday morning when Livvie noticed that the roses they gave me for Mother’s Day were dying. I told them that, yes, unfortunately flowers die; things here on Earth don’t live forever. Then out of the blue Sarah said, “I miss Kitty.” Admitting I missed [...]

Cathy: Weekend Update–the usual frustrations and a dose of sunshine

Posted in Cathy, tagged , , on April 7, 2009 | 11 Comments »

So many things interfered with so many plans I had this weekend. I won’t bore you with too many details, but while Baby C took a nap, and Honey took care of things he needed to at home (some side job work, some gutter cleaning), I grabbed one highly reluctant son and one enthusiastic one [...]

Cathy: CH-CH-CH-Changes…

Posted in Cathy, tagged , on December 15, 2008 | 8 Comments »

For this blog post, I didn’t want to moan about how we’ve been passing a handful of colds, sinus infections, ear infections, etc. since K had strep a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving. So I won’t, but I couldn’t let go of mentioning it, of course. Tis the season; the temperature has dropped, schools are [...]
