February 9, 2010 Blogging and Blog Events

Week 1′s assignment for the 2010 Blog Improvement Project is to create a blogging to-do list. While I’m not a big fan of to-do lists, I like the idea of this one because there’s no time element attached to it. I think what I’m most resistant to, when it comes to to-do lists, is the [...]

Thank you so much to everyone who commented on my 20 minute writing commitment post. I felt so inspired after reading all of your comments – and suddenly, it really did feel very much like “it’s only 20 minutes”. So I took roughly 20 minutes today to work on Waverley; I am now 1200 more [...]

The Saturday Ramblings Post

November 14, 2009 Blogging and Blog Events

I’m practicing the Art of Procrastination (I am an ardent and devoted follower of the Art), so I thought I’d sit down and write my semi-regular rambly Saturday post. Why am I procrastinating?

Weekend Cooking: What We’ve Been Up To in the Kitchen This Week

November 14, 2009 Blogging and Blog Events

As some of you know, I recently persuaded my husband, Ward, to start blogging at the food blog we’d set up together, Muse in the Kitchen.
