Where, Oh Where, Did My Widget Go?

by

Perhaps I’ve mentioned the Computer Fiasco of ‘o9 before? The one that zapped out stuff willy-nilly? That single-handedly spiraled me into a state of near panic? And caused me to lag behind for an entire week at the very beginning of the year when timing is so crucial that I was nearly forced to throw in my writing towel?

I’m okay. Really. It’s just that I lost my counter widget. And now, who knows how many folks have been dashing over here? I sure don’t. But it’s okay. Really. I’ve been looking around for a shiny, new little widget. In fact, I think I’ll test drive a few.

So, in that little, forlorn spot where my counter used to be, I’m going to try widgets till I find the one that fills the empty hole in my hard drive. Now, should I start with something terribly, terribly educational, thus improving my mind and the minds of those who stumble upon my blog?

Or should I go for something a little less esoteric? I do love that Stewie on Family Guy. Especially when he takes off on novel-writing…

Stewie it is. I mean, c’mon. This is a writing blog.

How Do I Feel About Silverblade? Fantastic!

by

It’s not easy to find a children’s market for fantasy. Especially a paying market. Even if it’s for a wee amount.

Anyway, when I came across Silverblade, an online magazine that’s published quarterly, I hollered. Maybe I hollered in my head. Something like, “Yippee! Now I know where I can send that story!”

And as soon as I get a minute, I’ll send that story along. But right now, I’m putting the finishing touches on my Highlights Fiction Contest story. You still have time to put the finishing touches on your world cultures story.

Because that Highlights Contest is also a paying market. A HUGE, serious-hollering market.
