Quick update first: Project August news coming soon. I’ve been …uh… re-directed by the close of the Surrey International Writers’ Conference writing contest last Friday. So much to do! But the Bella Bella fundraising event is coming together, and I’ll have more news soon. Okay. So, I have been meaning to do this for ages,Continue reading “I Loved That Book! [Bernadette edition]”

Happy Labour Day! Summer whizzed by so fast, but I can’t help loving the fall. And besides, WHAT a productive summer! For those who may have missed it, I oversaw a little motivational effort for the past month that was dubbed #ProjectAugust. It was predicated to get me going on various writing projects I haveContinue reading “Want in?”

Maybe not every goal was met, but many, many successes were had this month. Augustus is blushing  to the roots of his hair with pride! [Okay, so his hair is blushing, too… my p/s skills are not the greatest.] So…here are the successes I know about: Deniz B. finished a short story Shari G. finishedContinue reading “You DID it!!!!”

We’re almost here — last week before our final #ProjectAugust deadline. How are you doing?   Augustus, as you can see, is cutting to the chase. He’s looking for success and he’s here to help YOU get there.   A reminder — there’s one more week for you to achieve your Project August goal. AndContinue reading “#Project August Check-in #4”

Today’s harvest. Successes this year have been potatoes, spinach, basil, chives, carrots, cucumbers, green beans and peas. Tomatoes are just ripening now, and peppers are still brilliant green, but I hope they’ll start colour-morphing soon.             I’ve had a few strawberries and will get a few more. I’ve had aContinue reading “How Does Your Garden Grow…?”

Hey! Happy third week of August! Augie’s seen the light, here, thinking his month is almost over. But there’s still lots of time left to get your outstanding projects done. I’m hearing from #ProjectAugust people on twitter, in email and even in person as to how things are going, and even when things get busy,Continue reading “#Project August Check-in #3”

This check-in was supposed to happen last night, but since I was at Kallie George & Luke Spence Byrd’s #ProjectAugust event [getting married!], I know you’ll forgive a late check in. So. Here we are. How’s it going, anyway? I’ve heard from a few people who actually finished this week’s challenge a bit early —Continue reading “#Project August Check-in #2”

Whoah. This is THE month to get stuff done. Two of my dear friends… Lee Edward Fodi and Kallie George are both marrying their respective True Loves this month. Been a long time since I’ve had a two-wedding month, but I am excited to see them both setting off on this new chapter in theirContinue reading “#Project August Check-in #1”

Hey…here we are! Have you got a plan for your #ProjectAugust, yet? No? Well, why not? If you’d like to join in, here’s how it works. I’m going to take the month of August, as noted in the last blog post, and get my current work-in-progress [a novel] finished. But to take part, you don’tContinue reading “Day One — #ProjectAugust”

It’s been a beautiful summer so far — the best weather for July that I can remember, at least. I’ve been busy with lots of stuff since my return from the UK. Writing in dribs and drabs and other fun projects [see previous Culture Ninja post!], but I’m ready to enter the Big Project vortexContinue reading “#Project August”
