After a rough patch yesterday, today has been peaceful and calm. The best thing was receiving a box of books from my friend in NYC. :banana: As usual it is quite a varied selection. Only one book about writing this time, many paperback mysteries, some recent novels, a couple of interesting non-fics, and a few YA books for good measure. Go ahead and click my link below. You know you want to...

[Angie]

Just started a brand-new blog. I've never been one to post often, but in the interest of keeping my creativity flowing I'm going to try like heck this time. Anyway, for those who are interested, you can see it here (http://angiemansfield.com).

[wordsmyth]

I posted this morning about a difficult question from my youngest son.
WTF?? (http://virtualwordsmith.blogspot.com/2007/09/wtf.html)

[Angie]

Didn't really update, per se, but I did fix some problems pointed out to me by a kind soul. You can now actually leave comments on my blog. :e2shrug:

[thursdayb]

This morning I've got a post about having your own workspace, and I finally got to use a title that I've wanted to use since I got in an argument with Mrs. Wright when I was five: "Sharing: Your Kindergarten Teacher Was Wrong! (http://www.thursdaybram.com/2007/09/18/sharing-your-kindergarten-teacher-was-wrong/)"

[birdfeeder]

I saw a great example of a literary device in the movie 3:10 to Yuma; it's all in my post today: "Using Artifacts in a Scene: 3:10 to Yuma as an Example."

...and now I've made a real update. ;-) A humorous primer on communication for companies who've had their products recalled because they were made in China with lead-based paint and other toxic substances.

[AllyWoof]

I just updated mine. Just a bunch of ranting and raving. My family pissed me off. But, it has to do with writing.

[valeenc]

Ha! A bonus blog entry about what the FedEx man brought and the time I hurt myself muppet dancing. :banana:

Woot! I saw I even got myself a label to myself :D

Maybe I ought to plug this on my own blog. Looks like it's actually going to be big.

:hooray:

[JenNipps]

Both Creatif and Confessions of a Fat Chick have been updated today with (I think) good posts. Creatif's is about blog stats as they pertain to a particular topic I've been notincing search terms arriving at my blog and CFC's is about healthy food, in a sense. Links to each blog are below. (What can I say, I'm being lazy.)

Yes, updated places with some great pumpkin photos and memories of childhood candy. Green blog has some recycled wrapping paper, very cute print.

I added everyone who has posted a comment to Places to the blogroll on that site. Thanks!

[bsolah]

I'm feeling I ought to update with some "piratey" because it's International talk like a pirate day or something; perhaps a photo of me as a pirate.

So, no, haven't updated my blog today, but will try to when I get home.

[Mysti]

"Falling" resides on self-named blog. Check it out and respond!!!

As it is a week-day, PEWAM's Blog has job leads! 33 writing related, 4 blogging leads, 18 telecommuting/comp/technical leads.

[bsolah]

I ought to update with something today, but kind of demoralised because I've seen my comments and such go down since I posted less frequently, and lately I've picked up but I haven't returned to my old level of comments. I feel like I've lost my readership.

[ColoradoGuy]

Updated mine. It's about concussions.

[JenNipps]

Updated both Confessions of a Fat Chick and Creatif.

CFC - Fat Chicks in Blue Jeans (http://fatchickconfessions.wordpress.com/2007/09/20/fat-chicks-in-blue-jeans)

Job leads are posted at PEWAM! Enjoy everyone!

I updated before 10 am both today and yesterday, I swear... I just got slammed and didn't get to tell all y'all about it until now. The point of good equipment, here (http://www.thursdaybram.com/2007/09/21/the-point-of-good-equipment/), and the beauty of passive income, here (http://www.thursdaybram.com/2007/09/20/the-beauty-of-passive-income/).

[MidnightMuse]

I let another new character take over the blog for Friday.

It's so good to know I can inspire people to blog about nekkidness :D

[sassandgroove]

NO, not in several months. It started taking a direction I hadn't plan. I sometimes wonder if I would blog more if I had an anonymous blog, but then how would I get readers?

[MidnightMuse]

Sieze the blog, Sassypants! Throw dignity to the wind. Let down your hair.Take off your clothes and paint.

My return to blogging has my creative juices liquifying again. Or that could be my grey matter. The tests aren't back yet, but the hazmat team said it should be okie dokie to swim again in a half hour.

[sassandgroove]

[valeenc]

Very short post about the printer I ordered this morning. :banana:

NO, I did not update today. But its rare for me to update daily anyways...its not a money making thing for me, just a breather when something is irking me, most times! ;)

[bunnygirl]

A new character sketch from my book is on my writing blog (http://ampfiction2.blogspot.com).

I went to Kol Nidre (evening service for the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur) and as soon as I sat down I had a new thought to atone for. Review of the service, the rabbi, and how confession is the new black. Here (http://peterography.setupmyblog.com/archives/30)

[katrinka]

Today I updated my blog, Buried Treasures, with a post called "Smelling and Tasting Your Memories."

[cool_st_elizabeth]

Yeah, I blogged about a bright orange rose that suddenly appeared on a rosebush that usually grows dark red ones. It's beautiful and strange, and if anyone knows why this happens I'd love for you to visit my blog and tell me.

[birdfeeder]

I met Brian Regan last night! Come by my blog and I'll tell you about it!

Anyone who's ever had a burning, unquenchable desire to hear about Eastern Washington should go to my blog and see the last two posts.

There's a blog post about today's events, complete with a couple pictures, up at Creatif.

http://jensorganizedwriter.wordpress.com/2007/09/22/friends-and-writing/

(I'm sorry the pictures are such large file sizes. I don't have any software on the laptop to reduce them any. THe pictures are clickable so you can see the larger size if you want to.)

There won't be a post to Confessions of a Fat Chick today.

[moonslice]

Yes. Well, I normally write more. Visit Light green stairs. I posted a photo. You post the words to go with it in comments. Yeah, I was busy. But, this is fun!

[bunnygirl]

I blogged about my morning run on my main blog, and I have a new character sketch on my writing blog.

[skelly]

"Out Of The Way Places: St. Michael's Chapel," and two women bathing woohoo!

Tjwriter, your avatar picture is just too cute. :)

Back to business: I've posted a Weekly Wrap-Up on Creatif. I keep saying I'm going to go for a walk but I have yet to get off my lazy butt to go do it.

Another round of Sunday Shorts. Movies, TV, coffee and writing are all hit upon briefly. :banana:

[tjwriter]

Tjwriter, your avatar picture is just too cute.


Thanks! She hands me the camera to take her picture and then sticks her face impossibly close.


Back on topic, I think Monday's blog will describe some of the stress I've been feeling lately.

[Michael]

Due to a supposedly simple transfer of service to a new address taking six weeks instead of two, my blog hasn't been updated in a very long time. Guess I need to get crackin', huh?

My son deployed overseas the other day - if you're interested in reading about my trip to see him off, I blogged about it (http://dawnonowyouseeit.blogspot.com/2007/09/hurry-up-and-wait.html).

[valeenc]

Ah me, hugs to you and your son, Dawno! A gazillion of them.

Meanwhile, I typed about reality TV and acting. A tiny smidge about writing snuck in there too, but only a smidge.

[Kate Thornton]

Yes! All about where you do your writing...where do you do your writing?

[DragonHeart]

Yep. Twice, in fact.

A semi-review turned personal reflection of Guards! Guards! and a plug for Naomi Novik's newest release, Empire of Ivory.

Yes, I updated Green blog on seventh generation paper towels (really, it's exciting).

And I updated Places with a discussion about caffeine. You probably won't like my stance on it, but I am known as Decaf, please on that blog. So, please. Read about it.

[Giant Baby]

There's cheese (http://cornertroll.blogspot.com) in my blog.

I blogged about the huge, silent, scary birds stalking my yard! Photos included!

I blogged about helping fellow travelers (http://queenofroads.wordpress.com/). It's a fun and harmless hobby!

ETA: Link fixed. Thanks, Moonslice.

[moonslice]

Nancy, the "helping fellow travelers" link didn't work, but I found it from your sig. I added you to my Places blogroll.

[bunnygirl]

I've got a short story and more character sketches on my writing blog!

[TaliaDownUnder]

I added a 500-word "secret story" that I recently submitted for consideration to a women's magazine here in Australia.

[valeenc]

Yow. So I posted an impromptu flash fiction piece as part of Benjamin Solah's AW Flash Fiction Carnival. It's 751 words or so. It ain't art, but it's a slice of life. And it fits the theme, beginnings. Just...

Unless I do another such FFC, I doubt I'll post any of my fiction in my blog again as I am not wont so to do. So click already. You know, in my sig line. Down there!

Confessions of a Fat Chick: Busy-ness - http://fatchickconfessions.wordpress.com/2007/09/27/busy-ness/

[NiennaC]

I updated a couple of days ago - but I'm just now posting about it - about getting the courage to edit a big project, when it's very overwhelming.

[stamperdad]

Just finished posting to my blog for the second day in a row! The creative juices are flowing for some reason. Not complaining though.

Anyway check it out:

"Presidential Primer #1 - Who Can Be POTUS?" First in a series of non-political, non-partisan postings on the American Presidency, the office, the men, and the interesting facts. I am hoping to make this into a feature article for publication eventually. One can only hope.

This is one of my fascinations. Because I am Canadian I am giving a neutral perspective. The facts only folks. Some of them might really surprise you, truth is stranger than fiction believe me.

[cool_st_elizabeth]

I blogged about living in publicly-owned buildings as a resident curator ... I haven't done it myself but there are some truly amazing places to be had, if a person is able to make the commitment.

[TaliaDownUnder]

Updated today with a blog against abuse. I may add some more later when I'm a bit more awake ;-)

[Giant Baby]

I'm pretty much in hell all the time in my blog (http://cornertroll.blogspot.com/).

It's Friday, so I blogged (http://www.loribasiewicz.blogspot.com).

[catephoenix]

I've added a 60 word children's story to my blog today, titled 'Stuffed Cushions'.

[thursdayb]

Today's little bit (http://www.thursdaybram.com/2007/09/28/deadlines-are-sacred-even-if-you-set-them-yourself/) on my blog is about self-imposed deadlines. And why early is better than late.

[valeenc]

Early is always better than late, thursdayb!

My entry today is very brief and is, oddly enough, about writing. It's also my 150th post :banana: so come have a gander and wish me well with a comment. :D Please?

:banana: :banana: :banana:

[JenNipps]

There's a post on Creatif (http://jensorganizedwriter.wordpress.com/2007/09/28/shes-pretty-well-known/) that actually stemmed from something that was said about me in my intro before my presentation Wednesday. It then kind of goes off into a tangent that probably says a lot more about me on that blog than I want to. lol

[Kat Frass]

Both blogs updated today. Yea.

[JenNipps]

Before I finally got my head on straight this morning and got to the stuff I really needed to be doing, I did a post on Confessios of a Fat Chick about face shapes (http://fatchickconfessions.wordpress.com/2007/09/28/what-face-shape-do-you-have/).

[Susan Breen]

I wrote about revising the back copy for my book, and how hard it is when you have to start all over. (Writing, not life. That's a whole other blog.)

[skelly]

I wrote about my recent trip to Rio and how all these hot girls were totally throwing themselves at me.

Not really. But I did post a cool pic on the Midnight Snack page.

:)

[cool_st_elizabeth]

Yep, a short post about Banned Books Week, which starts tomorrow.

[moonslice]

Updated both. Places links to an interesting TP challenge.

Green blog talks about the bags I got at my local gro store.

TGLP post with a pic of autumn.

[DragonHeart]

A rather lengthy post profiling an out-of-print author whose work was recommended to me. It's really a continuation of last night's post, I was just too sleep deprived by that point to actually write it up.

~DragonHeart~

[cool_st_elizabeth]

No ... but I tweaked my code so the pages come up faster & are much less work to maintain. Does that count?

[valeenc]

I posted my entry for Blogchain #11. It covers a number of topics, including movies, autumn, candy, witches, books and, obliquely, sex.

I think it counts for I'd have no idea how to do such a thing so to me it not only counts but is very impressive and amazing! Kudos!

I've got a new short story on my writing blog!

[Priene]

I've just reactivated my blog, and here's a post on why I'm ashamed to be a writer.

Happy Banned Book Week! I posted a few words about why I want to be a banned author, as well as a couple of banners that I invite all of you to repost on your own blogs. Here (http://www.thursdaybram.com/2007/10/01/banned-book-week/).

[Birol]

I just updated The Commune (http://www.loribasiewicz.blogspot.com) with a post about writers' rooms.

I've decided to go with a Monday/Thursday posting schedule instead of Tuesday/Friday.

[valeenc]

Today it's about working on my main character and a couple of other things I hope to accomplish on my main WIP. In other words, it's about WRITING!

:banana:

[AllyWoof]

I just updated again.

[Mysti]

I have definitely updated my named blog! One of the resident members here did a spot light of my son on her blog - and I posted a complimentary post. Check it out!

[DragonHeart]

Updated with a review of Red Seas Under Red Skies. It's really only my third actual review, but hopefully I'm improving somewhat on my ability to convey my opinion. Which is, I'm afraid, pretty much the same as everyone else's. Hopefully I didn't gush too much about it.

~DragonHeart~

[catephoenix]

Today's blog post is about SHOCKtober, Scary Mary & a new Horror Forum.

[cool_st_elizabeth]

Yes, a fairly long post about non-traditional places to buy books ... I even plugged my own most recent ebook!

[Leah J. Utas]

TGLP Gratitude Monday post about seeing a fox yesterday.

[MidnightMuse]

All I lack is cheese and some crackers with my latest post.

Maybe next time a nice merlot.

[valeenc]

Bonus post today about a commentary in the NYTimes Book Review about the state of American short fiction by Stephen King and the comments from readers it's attracting. Also I borrowed thursdayb's theme about banned books week ( :D ) and posted a few relevant links.

:banana:

[bsolah]

I've been really slacking off lately. I have some entries for the Flash fiction challenge to compile into a post, and I have to do my own flash fiction entry.

I should also review John Pilger's War on Democracy as I saw it on Thursday night.

[CatMuse33]

LOL Midnight. I talk about wine and beer in my blog.

So yeah, I blogged today. ;) http://dawnallcot.blogspot.com

[TaliaDownUnder]

I wrote (as part of the AW Blogchain #11) about quirky habits and gave a glimpse into my dysfunctional family life. I'd love to hear your opinions on it: Do you prefer stability or change?

[jerrywaxler]

Today I posted a blog entry that is a complete re-write of a blog I had written a few months ago. It's called "Is it narcissistic to write a memoir?"

By reposting my rewritten blog I raise another question. "Is it cheating to repost a blog?" I'm starting a thread to see what other people think about reposting.

[thursdayb]

I've listed out 10 tax deductions that many freelance writers forget when April rolls around. Check it out here (http://www.thursdaybram.com/2007/10/02/10-tax-deductions-you-may-not-remember/).

[wordsmyth]

I went out to read Stephen King's thoughts regarding the state of the short story. Thanks for the link, Virginia Lee! And then I blogged about short stories. http://virtualwordsmith.blogspot.com/2007/10/state-of-short-story-address.html

[birdfeeder]

I got busted today by the breakfast patrol! Details on blog!

[valeenc]

A short post about Eureka, my writing process and a plug and link for madderblue's current Japanese folklore article that I read yesterday and highly recommend.

:banana:

[moonslice]

I updated Places with photos of my first attempt at monkey bread.

[MidnightMuse]

I did, as a matter of fact. Why my opinion smells better than Calvin Kline :)

[catephoenix]

My sanity is questioned in today's blog... All I can say is, the hills are alive...

[cool_st_elizabeth]

Yes, I posted about deconstruction and architectural salvage, ways you can protect the environment while buying really cool stuff for your house cheap.

[valeenc]

I posted a link to another writer's blog post that I found very useful.

:banana:

[Toothpaste]

Yes I did! All about my crazy week so far promoting my book. It's all rather insane. Pictures included as per usual.

[RJThorne]

Indeed I did. I updated both my writing blog as well as my personal blog.

Both are boring.

I should go outside more often.

[SpiderGal]

Wrote about Gandhi's cricket connection.

[moonslice]

just updated Light Green with some green wedding gift ideas.

[Birol]

I've added a couple of Shameless Plug Alerts! (http://www.loribasiewicz.blogspot.com) last night and this morning. The commentators have gotten punny with one of them.

[TaliaDownUnder]

I wrote today about writer's block and setting goals. Hopefully, it will motivate me to do more today!

[Sunkissed27f]

I don't blog....what am I missing? Tips on getting started?

[moonslice]

sunkissed--
go to wordpress.com or blogger.com and get started with a free blog. try to get an idea of your general content theme before you start.

[bunnygirl]

I "posted" a "link" to a very cool blog (http://quotation-marks.blogspot.com/) of "useless" quotation "mark" sightings.

"Check" it out. :D

[bsolah]

I posted a review of John Pilger's latest film, The War on Democracy.

[Birol]

I don't blog....what am I missing? Tips on getting started?

You might want to read a few blogs and see what you like and what you don't, too.

[Christine N.]

I've been super busy lately, but I updated both blogs...my regular one on writing and appearances, my Independent Book Report (http://independentbookreport.blogspot.com) blog with some blogosphere news and a link to the POD people.

[Leah J. Utas]

Updated TGLP with a post about Banned Books Week.

[thursdayb]

I've got a short post up on how attending writing conferences is tax deductible, here (http://www.thursdaybram.com/2007/10/03/a-little-more-about-writing-off-conferences/). If nothing else, a tax deduction can be a great reason to sign up for that next conference.

[birdfeeder]

My entry today: Spot the Error(s) #4.

[Jessi]

I updated yesterday by changing my blog color to pink and a quick shout out for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Join us in the effort?

I've Gone Pink!! Incredibly Pink!! (http://quirkyjessi.blogspot.com/2007/10/ive-gone-pink.html)

[Kat Frass]

updated both.
ATL: A link to my favorite Steals & Deals website
CKG: An adorable cupcake mold

[valeenc]

Okay, I'm running a bit late today. I posted about my WIP progress (not much) and I share a story about my first trip to see Broadway shows when I was sixteen and the first movie star I ever met. You have to click to find out who it was. ;)

:banana:

[DragonHeart]

Posted a review of Assassin's Quest, which I just finished reading.

~DragonHeart~

[wordsmyth]

I posted a short story review, the first one I've done on my blog.

A WIP update and today's midnight snack. If you want to know about the "picture of the day," you better bring a case of beer and a lawn chair. We could be awhile.

I've Gone Pink!! Incredibly Pink!! (http://quirkyjessi.blogspot.com/2007/10/ive-gone-pink.html)

:tongue I prefer to say that I'm emulating Jessi rather than being a copycat, but my blog's gone pink too. As a survivor of female cancer, it is very personal to me. Go see how I've redecorated! :Jump:

:banana:

[valeenc]

Oh now this is embarrassing, I'm posting after myself.

Anyhoo, I posted lyrics to a song I wrote that were inspired by a conversation with a friend. It's NOT a serious song at all, so if you need a giggle and are not a Scientologist, give it a gander. I'll provide the snax.

:popcorn: :banana: :popcorn: :banana: :popcorn:

[Birol]

It's Thursday. I blogged (http://www.loribasiewicz.blogspot.com).



Jessi and Valeenc, I commend you two for doing something to make others think about a cause you believe in.

[thursdayb]

I blogged a bit about how the whole 40 hour work week is a myth, especially for freelancers. How many hours do you feel you need to work a day? Here (http://www.thursdaybram.com/2007/10/04/the-myth-of-the-forty-hour-work-week/).

[stamperdad]

Updated my blog yesterday. Hodilday weekend coming up here in Canada (Thanksgiving) so will likely not get anything else up until next week.

Presidential Primer#2 - "The Most Powerful Man in the World"
Second in a series on the American Presidency. This one discusses the powers of the president as defined in the Constitution and in reality. This series is non-partisan because I am not American, just someone who is totally fascinated by the Presidency - especially the men who have held the office.

Comments are always appreciated.

[AllyWoof]

I blogged this morning! Second time this week!

[wordsmyth]

Happy Anniversary (http://virtualwordsmith.blogspot.com/2007/10/five-years.html) to me (and hubby, of course)!

[MidnightMuse]

Yep - Why I owe so much of my writing ability to my childhood dentist.

[plaidearthworm]

Yep, blogged in both spots, one about silly scientific studies, the other about obsessive email checking. But both blogs are brand new, so I'll be blogging every day to get some content. Hopefully, I can keep up the momentum for a while! :)

[Shadow_Ferret]

Yep - Why I owe so much of my writing ability to my childhood dentist.
Oh, now I'm curious!

[DragonHeart]

Ported my October Challenge entry to my blog. Just cause I can.

~DragonHeart~

[jerrywaxler]

I posted a book review about Don Walters' memoir "The Path." Walters was a disciple of Paramahansa Yogananda. The point of the review is to offer teaching points for aspiring memoir writers.

[Leah J. Utas]

ProzacPalace update on Mental Illness Awareness Week.

[catephoenix]

I have just added a 60 word story to my blog - PURPLE STAIN.

[valeenc]

Yup. I did a fast five for Friday. :)

:banana:

[RSCDoug]

South Jersey Outdoors gets a little bit of a new look, and this week's post is about the challenges of starting an outdoor club for high school students...

http://sjoutdoors.blogspot.com (http://sjoutdoors.blogspot.com/)

[Priene]

Today I describe watching a man die.

Just a hand, not a mystery (http://justahand.wordpress.com/2007/10/05/some-places-bangkok/)

[thursdayb]

Today, I've got a bit of a post about how being opinionated can pay off as a writer. It's here (http://www.thursdaybram.com/2007/10/05/having-an-opinion-can-pay-off/).

[JenNipps]

:tongue I prefer to say that I'm emulating Jessi rather than being a copycat, but my blog's gone pink too. As a survivor of female cancer, it is very personal to me. Go see how I've redecorated! :Jump:

:banana:

I didn't think about others doing that. *S* I added the pink ribbon with a link to the Susan G. Komen foundation on both Creatif and Confessions of a Fat Chick. It's in the right sidebar.

While I'm here, and since I've mentioned both blogs, I updated Creatif (http://jensorganizedwriter.wordpress.com/2007/10/05/one-down-one-to-go/) this morning and CFC yesterday (http://fatchickconfessions.wordpress.com/2007/10/04/implants/).

[wordsmyth]

I posted about small gifts from the universe.

http://virtualwordsmith.blogspot.com/2007/10/gifts-from-universe.html

[C.bronco]

I finally did, with a cool picture too!

[Leah J. Utas]

TGLP update about sending out proposals and busting my fourth manuscript back down to rough draft.

[AllyWoof]

I updated my writing blog!

[C.bronco]

I added a link section entitled "Cool Books by Cool People!"
:)

[birdfeeder]

My take on lovable giants:

Harry, Herman, and Hugh

[mamakat]

I did too!

[ColoradoGuy]

Put up one about the relative safety of diagnostic x-rays and CT scans.

[moonslice]

Updated my Green blog with why my AC stopped working. It's gross.

[Michael]

Yes (finally)! I started a meme.
