Still Busy -- Want an Insider Peek?

    So I have been absolutely swamped.  I haven't been able to finish all my interviews yet or post all the ones that I have completed.  I haven't gotten to write very much.  Everything has been shoved to a back burner.

     Would you like to know why?

     First of all...

    ...a wedding...

   
This, to be honest, was the biggest pull on my time and attention, other than midwifery work.











Other than this wedding and all the little side pursuits involved with making it as beautiful as possible, there have also been some other pulls on my time.

There were baby showers for friends.

There was some hiking trips that I had to prep for...and then they ended up being cancelled.  Aka, all the pre-work without the fun event!

There were some family events to attend.

There were dental visits.  Might not seem like a big deal, but this was literally my first dental appointment ever.  Sooooo...it felt like a big deal.

Trying to keep with housework and cooking and such.  I've been married a year and a half, and you think I would be the perfect housewife by now.  Ahem.

We are planting a garden!!!!

And, on top of all of that is my work.  This probably is the biggest thing on the list.  These last couple of months have been particularly busy at the birth centre, and I haven't had much time for anything else.  It's a wonder we got done the things we did!!!

But I want you to know that I haven't forgotten you!  Those interviews are awesome.  They will be worth the wait, and I am looking forward to sharing them and other fun things on here soon.  

How are you guys doing?  What do your summers look like?

    My goodness, you have been busy! I was feeling bad because I haven't interviewed you yet, probably a good thing. :)

A Short Story Break

via Pinterest     It has been a while since I penned a short story.  Usually it takes something like a "short story contest" to inspire me.  But I have noticed my writing skills improve with each contest so there is something to be said for writing short stories.      I say all this to lead into the fact that I am going to try another short story.  There is no contest looming on the horizon, but it has been so long that I think I am due to write a short piece.  Life cannot be entirely devoted to novel-length plots...      I am rolling around different ideas in my head.  There is no one to give me the first three words or a picture to base my story on.  There are no restrictions, no props, and no judges.      Methinks I will try something that is both epic and ordinary...something I have seen before.  After all, personal experience, great things, and the expression of the...

More Snippets from Snow White Rose Red

    One of the shadows moved.   “Were you just going to chuck it in there with no thought for the poor folks on the other side?”   Flip’s voice drawled out.   It was a deep voice and it made my heart skip a beat.      He moved away from the trees and came to stand in front of me.   “Some hard-working fellow is plowing his field and then – whop!   Out of nowhere, a poisoned apple flies out and hits him upside the head.”   He clucked his tongue reproachfully.

Goodbye and God Be With You

It's rather fitting that some things come to a close on this day -- the last day of the year. I submitted my last entry into the Rooglewood contest this morning.  I can hardly believe it took me until the day of the deadline to send it in because I'm usually earlier than that.  And, even with the extra time I took, I still felt a little bit like maybe I could have done better if I had more time. But there was no feeling of regret when I hit "send."  Mostly it was just a prayer that Rooglewood would hear the heart of the message when they read it and that maybe, if I win, they could help me bring the full potential out of my little story.  And there was also a feeling, after working on these stories for more than six months, that it felt good to close that chapter and move on to the next one. I did it.  I wrote them.  And I'm really proud of them. Last year, the act of hitting "send" on my contest entry catapulted me into an anticipatory state....
