If you find a broken link, please send us an email and let us know which blog it is in. We will do our best to go back and check links in previous blogs as time permits. But let's be honest, it's going to be slow going.

I Murphy and His Laws!


I swear some days I think I should just be wrapped in bubble wrap and stood up in the corner. I was just telling my mother how much I loved the mouse pen she sent me recently. I was using it all the time and it was just perfect to go with my new little notebook I bought to carry around with me to write. Then tonight, I dropped in my cup of hot tea.

I swear I need a keeper!

I have hope that it's not ruined. It was still sort of working so I took the battery out and I'm letting it dry out completely in our jar of Basmati rice before I try it again. Cross your fingers for me..

On a another note. I took this week off of my teaching job so I can focus on working on my writing. I will finish writing my short story for the group project I'm a part of then I will be devoting the rest of the week to working on Into the West: Sharon Springs.

I plan to start sharing bits of what I'm working on and I have another contest coming up that I will be setting up this week. I need to work on my time management too. I want to set up a day for blogs, a day for sharing writing bits and at least one other thing but I have't decided what that will be.

My life has been so unstructured the last few years because so much has been going on and there have been so may changes but I really want to get things set up into a routine so I can manage my life better.

I've been struggling to keep up with everything and sometimes things slip through the cracks. Unfortunately, it's usually exercise and/or my writing that gets dropped when I'm struggling to keep up with everything. That needs to stop!

So, think good thought for me and I hope to get things figured out here very soon.

Thanks for following along my crazy journey.

Stephen
