Notes by William Stafford, in chronological orderNotes by William Stafford
Working on updating and expanding "The Fog" and I hope to have something to post soon!

I feel as if I can finally begin to breathe again. Between work, school, and general stupid adult responsibilities (ugg) I have been too busy to look up. I am taking the summer off from classes and am looking forward to a much easier schedule. I'll finally be able to get back to writing and reading daily. I can take some time to finish out any unfinished business with Rockin' Reviewers classes and I can work on some DIY woodworking projects I've delayed since last summer.

After receiving lots of education from the folks here on WDC, I'm looking forward to taking some time to start working on serious short stories with the hopes of leading to a novel. Thanks to all (especially the "The Rockin' Reviewers" ) for guidance and support!
Hi William, It’s been fun doing the classes with you. Take it easy, sounds as if you’ve got too much on your plate.
Cheers Sue
Awesome, William! *Heart*
The last weekish+ I have been battling a sinus infection, half a brain (Thanks Robitussin), an ever-growing todo list, and fits of low energy as I recovered.

Today, I awoke 100%, fresh, and ready to go. I thought I'd share a snippet I sent my spouse since he was already at work:

"Today I woke ready to go.
No care for my hair, you have to know.
I attack the busiest day with glee.
As long as I have my coffee."
So glad you're feeling better, William. Cute poem! *Thumbsup*
What a week. Lots of writing, reading, and in this case 'rithmatic!

April will be a completely full month. I'm starting a new quarter at school, but I am also going to be working on the NaNoWriMo April challenge of 50,000 words towards a novel. It's a challenge for this new writer but I'm excited and have already begun working on extending "The Ad"  into a full story.
Today I am listening to some classical music and reading about reading and writing reviews. I am determined to get this write. *Smile*
I just finished the Rockin' Reviewer's Newbie Navigation Class. Wow. So, I thought WDC was pretty awesome already. Now I'm blown away with all the tools and helpful insights not just from the site but from members. I'm excited to be here, continue writing, and lots of reading.
Congratulations William, I agree with all your observations WDC is pretty amazing. Wonderful, helpful members make it so.
Cheers Sue
Thank you, William! You went through with flying colors! Bravo! *Thumbsup*

Learning how to use the WDC system! Need to also schedule more time for reading. Just reading and absorbing. *BookStack3* *ThumbsUp*
I definitely need to schedule some reading time too! *Thumbsup*
So, day one. I can't sleep. I have insomnia, often. I'm unsure of my writing ability in all facets. Yet, here I am. Setting up an account with the intent on learning to write short stories and eventually novels.

I love to read and tell stories. Embellishment is a way of life, in my opinion. My biggest issue is going to be making the time. I'm setting a beginning goal of writing 1000 words in a personal journal daily. Even if it's not creative writing, it is words put down with the intent to keep the flow going.

I'm sure I'll be nervous with the first several hundred posts, but I look forward to encouragement and criticism. My hope is to learn to develop characters, to be able to sit down and write a story in one sitting, even if not well developed, and to be able to write a series involving the same characters over and over.

Your advice, wisdom, knowledge, experience are all welcome to me. Thanks for being creative and inspiring us all.
