Working through blogging...

I'm making these reindeer for the October Craft Fair where I live. They will be attached to a big bow to place on a wrapped gift box for Christmas.

Hi, I could have named this short blog "persistence"! Ya know what?...I just write and publish, write and publish and sometimes check the stats to see if anyone is reading. AND people are from all over the world. Yippee! There is a huge "but" in it all.

I have yet to figure out how to find out what I want to know about how to do the right thing to get comments, respond to comments even how to get readers and figure out how to put ads on my blog and make some money if that's even a good thing to do. Just want my readers to know I work on all that from time to time but don't make any headway. I want to have followers and discussions and even others to submit a post from time to time but not there yet.... and yes I've read and read and read...just don't get it.

Just so you know!

😊

Honestly Speaking

Well hello! I have a favor to ask of you. I know, I don't have any leverage over anyone who stops in on my blog so I'm not trying to pull something here. Really! Look, I don't claim to be old or anything!!! But, I am aware that I'm not up on all the ways and means of blogging. I haven't read up on the whys and wherefores', etiquette or anything. Honestly speaking, I just got on here, opened/signed up for a blog and here I am. I don't know what is customary and another thing, I'm trying to get my post read by more than 7 people. Well, one time it was 9. So here's my request after all that honesty. I'd love to hear from YOU, If you've gotten this far in this writing this time around. Would you please comment? I would like some encouragement in writing here. And... If you are feeling gracious and have the time and inclination leave a comment on how I might draw readers. I know, I know...I've sorta read how to do that but...I don't get

Boxes, boxes boxes-how to survive a forced move!

That's the way it was just before the movers came in and took all my stuff away to a pod on the apartment complex property. I had packed and packed and packed some more until everything was in a milk box from the local grocery. Next came the hotel that Milo and I stayed in for a few days until the 16th of February. I had planned for a swimming pool and hot tub, even buying bathing suits but, alas it wasn't to be, so Milo and I took walks on the grounds of the hotel and visited the dog park which wasn't too very far away. And Tuesday late afternoon, finally home again with all new cabinetry and flooring and freshly painted walls. Same ole' address but new insides...and now the fun begins. Just a few boxes left to unpack and then it's all about finding/creating a place to put things. The bulk of my belongings is craft supplies and tools. My bedroom is now my craft room. Leaving a small space for the new twin bed, I've managed to create my new craft space. The ch

So She Says!

She being me, don't ya know! It's late and I should have stopped writing an hour ago but I'm here instead....writing. The process of writing a book is way more than I thought but, I'm gonna do it anyway. I'm gonna write until I have nothing more to say and because I didn't find out how to do this before I started, I'm kinda moving backwards in the process. I've decided to finish the manuscript first and then go back and get it in order as far as I know how to. And that will be based on the information I've found on the web. Then, I will look for an agent. If I find one who is will to look at what I have, then I'll go from there. I'm guessing I follow his direction in what I need to do to get my stuff ready for an editor to look at. Then after that I don't know. I'm sticking this out because I believe in what I have to say and I think it is timely. But that's just me. Part of me things it won't make the cut, but the optimisti
