Alas, Wednesday here has come and gone without a Writing Wednesday entry from me. I do apologize for those of you who might be disappointed.
I had planned to write a post about Christmas Letter writing, but realized how hypocritical of me that would be. Every year, I get more than a few of these:
“WOW! Our [...]

So you’ve jumped right in and grabbed a piece of the Internet for yourself by blogging. Maybe you’ve even gone a step further and purchased a domain name for your blog as you try to build a brand.

The feast of the Big Bird is rapidly approaching. My mind is filled with roasting time schedules, pie recipes, and also with the spirit of tomorrow, giving thanks.
On this Writing Wednesday, take time to write just for yourself. A letter, if you will, for you to read next year on Thanksgiving Day. Answer these three [...]

Or, as I’ve been referring to it here, TPD. The turkey, much like the unfortunate bird in A Christmas Story – oh, how I love the scene where Darrin McGavin goes to war with the pack of bloodhounds for The Hallowed Bird! –is in grave danger here at the home of the Insane Canine Posse.

Surprise, surprise, Nanowrimo slipped off my radar last week.
