Heptadecagon: October 2014
http://17gon.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
A journal. A log. A story. A place to come and stay a while. Welcome. Thursday, October 30, 2014. All her life, Sarah wanted people to take her seriously. To say, Hey, that's a great idea! You're smart. That's exactly right. Even an I hear what you're saying. Instead of the positive what ifs. And sadly, she never learned that governing oneself by what ifs. Sarah continued to stare through the windshield as she answered me. "I can't. There's no way. I just can't.". Her hand slammed against the steering wh...

Heptadecagon: January 2015

A journal. A log. A story. A place to come and stay a while. Welcome. Saturday, January 31, 2015. To My Daughters on Their 13th Birthday. Dear Zoe and Talia,. For weeks now, ladies, you've been reminding me- each day- that your 13th birthday is approaching. And as I said in my last post. I've replied- each day- "I'm not ready.". I wasn't ready to find the differences, but soon, very soon after we brought you home, you began to grow in ways such that your uniqueness set you each apart. T Minus 1 Day.

A journal. A log. A story. A place to come and stay a while. Welcome. Saturday, February 28, 2015. Trying to (Not) Sleep. We took a quick little trip yesterday- we were gone for just over 25 hours- and Melina stayed up way too late last night. She's a carefree, go-with-the-flow kind of child, who when tired, falls asleep no matter what. And she does so quietly. See for yourself. Friday, February 27, 2015. Such a Light Shade of Grey, I'll Call it Ivory. The website for Astroglide. Enter our 'Purple Room o...

A journal. A log. A story. A place to come and stay a while. Welcome. Wednesday, November 11, 2015. Here's how the writing is looking on a per day basis. Our writer is well above the average number of words per day to reach the goal of 50,000 by the end of the month. Cumulatively, she's doing well. A cubic fit (not shown in this graph) to the cumulative words written curve puts her on track to hit 50,000 on November 20. Graphs and charts and math. this just may be one of my favorite posts ever ;). The da...

A journal. A log. A story. A place to come and stay a while. Welcome. Tuesday, June 30, 2015. Kitty Cuteness, V. I am so tired, I want to curl up with my feline friends and take a nap. A nap to last the rest of the summer. Or as my good friend says, "Can we just turn the page? Wouldn't being able to turn the page and see what happens be an incredibly enticing (and scary) thing to do? Monday, June 29, 2015. Sunday, June 28, 2015. Setting: Sunday, June 28, 2015. Master bathroom, 6:35 pm. Can You See It?

A journal. A log. A story. A place to come and stay a while. Welcome. Thursday, November 12, 2015. Tonight, Melina - known to her siblings as The Perfect Child -. Is doing her first reconciliation. She reminded me this morning before we left for the school bus. She told me, "But I don't know what my sin is going to be." So I said to her, "Maybe you should do something at school so you have one for tonight.". All of a sudden you decide to post twice in two days? What is up with that, Timmy? Captains Log, ...

A journal. A log. A story. A place to come and stay a while. Welcome. Wednesday, September 30, 2015. Tell Me How You Really Feel: 22. I will always be short. That's how I was born. I'm adult, and aside from growing outward, which could happen, I will not be growing upward. I am okay with being short. My body parts are all relatively healthy. Why am I telling you this? That's all, folks. Just had to get that one off my chest for this week.(And it's been a LONG. Time since we've had one of these posts.).

A journal. A log. A story. A place to come and stay a while. Welcome. Saturday, October 31, 2015. Http:/ www.jmlalonde.com/. So please forgive my lack of quality writing on the blog for the month of November, but be sure to check out how I'm doing. I promise to keep you updated, but remember, since Aaron's birthday is on the first, I'll only be giving you progress reports on the 2nd through the 30th. Which should work out fine, since I like to post first thing in the morning. Friday, October 30, 2015.

Plot Sisters: February 2016
http://plotsisters.blogspot.com/2016_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 14, 2016. This essay is one of the daily devotionals for Oakwood United Methodist Church. I think it can speak to us as writers, or to anyone with a dream, a mission, a vocation. We all have something to offer, but all too often, the precious things we have to give are rejected. It didn't comfort me much to be told it didn't matter how well I played, I was never going to win. I played a woodwind instrument. String players always won. End of story. Why didn't he warn me? In college, I ask...
