Life Notes

by JM

It’s Monday already. I’m not prepared for it to be Monday yet. Is it possible to get Saturday back? I’ll even take Sunday afternoon.

Because it’s Monday, because I have a stuffy head, and because I like bulleted lists, here are some things I feel are important enough to put on a bulleted list:

*If anything I say today, tomorrow, and perhaps the next day doesn’t make sense, blame it on the stuffy head I have.

*If you’re not part of it yet, I think you should start participating in Velvet Verbosity’s 100 Words. It’s a lot of fun and you could meet new people too. Plus, if you’re like me, it might just be the only non-work related writing you’re doing at the moment.

*I am always looking out for new and inspiring writing prompts for over at Write Anyway. If you have any ideas you’d like to share, please let me know either here or over there. (It all gets sent to the same email address.)

*I know I plug this site a lot, but I log on to my feed reader every morning and see a lot of new posts, so I think you should check it out (if you haven’t already). The West of Mars – Win a Book site is an excellent resource for those of us who love scoring free stuff.

*I’m not quite ready to send out the call yet, but in the future I will be requesting guest posts from anyone who is interested. Each post gives credit to you and can link to your site, so start thinking about what you might like to post about here…

And that’s all for today because I’ve probably bored you silly now. I promise to be a bit more witty and less cranky when I’m feeling better.

Have an excellent day.

    Well, I’m not bored but I am cranky. Maybe more chocolate would help!

    Off to see what 100 Words is up to.

    I hope you can un-funkify your head soon.

  2. Susan Helene Gottfried Says:

    Well, thanks again for the link love! I hate to say it, but Win a Book is more popular than my main blog.

    And another thanks — for getting me hooked on the 100-word challenge. I’ve only done three of them so far, but man, are they fun.

  3. JM Says:

    Cheryl - More chocolate always helps. ;) My head is slowly but surely un-funikfying itself. :)

    Susan - People like free stuff. I guess that’s the way it goes. :) Thanks for stopping by. I’m glad you like 100 Words as much as I do.
