THE SWEET LIFE: May 2014
http://jessandmike-thesweetlife.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 31, 2014. Road Trip: Dolomites, Northern Italy Part 4. On our last day in Northern Italy, we decided to take a mountain train through the Dolomites. Before we headed out for the day, the farmers on the agriturismo wanted to show us how they plant potatoes. From Bolzano, we took a cable car up the mountain. All smiles from the cable car. Once on top, we took the mountain train. We hiked to these interesting Earth pyramids. Back at the farm. Sure going to miss this hut to relax in! We visited...

All Things Fish 'n' Chips: October 2010
http://fishnchipsforever.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 9, 2010. Holy Cow I'm a Published Author, and Halloween 2010. Well, it has been quite a while since I last wrote. My last post was about staying positive and praying for a new job. Well, since then, I have learned to stay positive and accept where I am in my life and make small improvements as I go along. We are still trying to get pregnant, but not so much that it is obsessive. Now, onto the nitty gritty. HALLOWEEN! On a somewhat "sad" note, this will probably be my last year going all...

When you need a bigger fish. Monday, March 10, 2014. A Short Rant about Amazon Reviews. Hi Been a while, I know, and I don't wish to come back from a hiatus with a "grinds my gears" kind of post, but, well, here it is. I must pause here to confess I'm incredibly dubious of self-pubbed books on Amazon because I've been burned too many times by a book that doesn't deliver the promise in the book description. So, here I am, looking at some of the 5-star reviews and they are favorable and all that, so I move...

WriteFish: Finding Advice/Ideas in Unexpected Places
http://clairelfishback.blogspot.com/2014/07/finding-adviceideas-in-unexpected-places.html
When you need a bigger fish. Monday, July 14, 2014. Finding Advice/Ideas in Unexpected Places. Like most writers I know, I have my favorite list of blogs about writing. Writers in the Storm. For example, is one I frequent for tips and tricks and just to connect to the writerly world. Today I was scrolling through Facebook and found a blog with a topic I'm getting close to needing: Editing. The blog is directed at teens ( Go Teen Writers. B) As a pantser, I tend to discover the story while I write it....

When you need a bigger fish. Monday, August 26, 2013. I just finished reading a gem of a little book called Steal Like an Artist. It's a marvelous book that, all in all, reminded me to remember the little things about life. For me it was a combination "this is how you do it" book and a reminder to take time to stop and smell the roses. To notice things. To go and create and make things. Which brings me to an update on the current WIP. I have reached A Point. But I don't know who this mystery person is!

When you need a bigger fish. Wednesday, September 25, 2013. This week I am recovering from an amazing conference - Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers' Colorado Gold. It Was. Amazing. Day one - Master Class with the one and only Trai Cartwright. This chick is BRILLIANT. It was a character class called "The Last Character Class You'll Ever Need." I have to admit, I'm pretty sure the title is right. The rest of the time was spent in and out of seminars, workshops, and classes. And then, the drinking. I have bee...

When you need a bigger fish. Wednesday, August 20, 2014. A follow up to the Letting Go post. Taking a time out from writing about writing to revisit the whole anxiety thing. Then maybe I'll post an update about my book. Remember back in April I wrote a post called Letting Go. Well, I wanted to follow that post up with the incredible time Fishubby and I had in Italy this June. Here's a line from that post:. And I was able to beat the time goal I'd set for myself. Mind over matter, right? I know it was the...

WriteFish: Updates on everything!
http://clairelfishback.blogspot.com/2015/03/updates-on-everything.html
When you need a bigger fish. Wednesday, March 18, 2015. Okay, maybe not EVERYTHING. But a few things that are on my mind right this minute. 1 In December, I took a 4 hours, 200 question test to obtain my PMP (Project Management Professional) credential and PASSED. 2 Work is hard, but easy, but hard, but sometimes boring, but hard. I know, weird right? I'm managing projects AND serving as the IT department admin (for 130 people). It's, like I said, hard, boring, hard, easy. 7 What else. Life is great!

When you need a bigger fish. Tuesday, December 10, 2013. 10 Things to Remember: An Email to Myself. First, an update. NaNoWriMo was a smashing success. I managed to complete my 50,000 word story in the first 15 days, leaving me the rest of the month to work on my "serious" WIP. So, here they are. The things I wanted to remind myself. Some of the things I got from other sources and posted about them before. Others I came up with RIGHT NOW. Perhaps one or more of these things will help you, too! 4 Believe ...
