Walking Through The Valley (Book) http://www.Writing.Com/main/books.php/item_id/1183984-Walking-Through-The-Valley/month/11-1-2009 ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** When I put all the parts together, I posted and verified 114,973 words for The Salt Lake Concert in rough draft! Man, it's a good thing that I'm not verbose! There was a major knot that had to be carefully undone that caused me to drag through the middle of the month. I finall...[Read Full Post] Sun, 29 Nov 2009 21:10:38 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/678083 Over at my MSN Blog, I wrote a quick entry about radical thanksgiving. I hope you will look at it [Link: 'here.']. I hope you will take a look at it, and respond if you feel like it. I love you all, so very much. Thank you for being the first on my list of things and persons to be thankful for. Happy Turkey Day! In His Care, Budroe...[Read Full Post] Thu, 26 Nov 2009 02:33:47 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/677685 Yesterday was a very "doggie downer" kind of day for me. There are a lot of reasons, most of which don't really matter; none of which matter to this discussion. So, I go to bed this morning after about 2 AM, resolved to leave that day where it belonged, there. I woke up this morning with an emotional "hangover" (if you've had the...[Read Full Post] Sun, 22 Nov 2009 17:32:10 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/677193 I've been watching, over the past two or so years, a growing reality which is spreading across this country--especially in our largest metropolitan areas. Because I live at the present time in Southern Illinois, because we here in the "Land of Lincoln", where so much has happened in the past few years that many would say could potentially end...[Read Full Post] Thu, 19 Nov 2009 03:47:40 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/676808 I am in Columbia, Tennessee for a few days. I can't believe it, but it has been colder, wetter, and more humid here since I got here on Sunday than it has been since late Winter in Southern Illinois. To me, that is just strange. When Sara came up to get me, the trees in her back yard were "on fire" with deep, rich golden and orange leaves...[Read Full Post] Wed, 18 Nov 2009 02:02:06 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/676647 Okay, first you have to understand the premise. There's this Raffle, see, over at [Link To Item #1614099] . I can't really divulge all the details, but if you read carefully, you might be able to draw some successful inferences that are, umm, *gulp* really important. So, do a fellow blogger a favor, okay? Head over and spend a few GPs. Wh...[Read Full Post] Sun, 15 Nov 2009 13:26:32 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/676264 Or, "How To Kick Your Own Butt"! I don't know if this year's NaNo is so much more difficult because of all the things suddenly invading my time, or if the effects of the disease are dragging me down, or just having uninvited space aliens in my spinach are affecting me...oh, I didn't tell you? Whatever it is , the writing of wor...[Read Full Post] Sat, 14 Nov 2009 15:49:47 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/676160 This does! [Link To Item #1617561] And This does!

And, where is Jarrett, Virginia? Why does it matter? Well, during several months back in 2002, he and a juvenile by the name of Lee Boyd Malvo killed ten people in Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia, wounding 13 others. The pair were also implicated, or "were suspected of fatal shootings in Alabama, Ar...[Read Full Post] Wed, 11 Nov 2009 02:18:17 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/675666 I have recently been the victim winner of an auction which got me a package of reviews and other goodies for my port. I got an Award Icon for a letter, and a Merit Badge in Style (Imagine! I KNOW!) for my work. It has been a wonderful "return" to the active writing life in this community. It has reinvigorated me, and my muse. I am so very ...[Read Full Post] Sun, 08 Nov 2009 17:08:31 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/675331
