Afterglow: Second Serving Sunday, on Tuesday

A weekly peek backwards and a look ahead,

from my little corner of the blogosphere…

Are you ready for a Second Serving?

Life Stuff:

• Last Week’s Edition: Birthday and Camping 

• I completed my Camp NaNoWriMo  drafting goal; Foul Deeds Will Rise (Trueborn Weft #2)  ended the week at just over 75K words. I reached the goal on Tuesday night, and validated early on Wednesday, my birthday. I took the rest of the week off.

• The kids and I spent four days at Unschoolers Rock the Campground – swimming, meeting up with old friends and connecting with new…a joyful and exhausting romp it’ll take a few more days to recover from…

• With a new month, come some new goals…read on to learn more!

Last week’s features:

ROW80: The Writing Challenge That Knows You Have A Life.

• Learning (Anything But) Nothing:  I learn, and write, even during Learn Nothing Day (or what I thought was, anyway).

• Bon Anniversaire a Moi: I give myself a birthday gift; achieving a big goal!

Eight Sentence Sunday: The Blog Hop For Everyone Who Loves to Write!

• Into the Maze Once Again:  A sexual ambush deepens…another excerpt from my Trueborn Weft Series work-in-progress, Foul Deeds Will Rise.

Ready, Set, WRITE! A Summer Writing Intensive, with Cheering Section!

• An In-Tents Pause:  I account for my Week 7 goals, and set bare-bones camping weekend goals.

Mindful Monday: Because Self-Awareness is Vital to a Joyful Life.

• Unintentional hiatus!

WIPpet Wednesday: Date-related WIP Snippets!

• All Perfectly Normal: Captain Jonathan Archer keeps telling himself this is all perfectly normal, and that he doesn’t notice anything out of the ordinary – even when T’Pol gets room service on the Bridge.

Coffee and Conversation: Grab a cup of something refreshing, and let’s chat!

• Another unintentional hiatus!

SoCS (Stream of Consciousness Saturday): 

A weekly prompt to free the mind, and the words!

• I guess you can tell that I was away for the weekend…yes, another unplanned hiatus!

Variety’s Spice: Reblogs, Book Tours, and More!

• Book Blitz: A Summer Like No Other by Elodie Nowodazkij: Looking for a perfect romantic beach read – with ballet? Have I got something delicious for you!

Home away from home!

What’s Next:

• After the chaos of July, I look forward to a soothing August – a month of revision-oriented reflection and recuperation. Oh, and homeschool paperwork, because this is the end of one year, and the beginning of another, for us…
