love this little place

Posted on July 22, 2009 by Deanna

I pause at the friendly url where my name shines. My blog…no, I haven’t forgotten you; my home page…yes, I wish to put up new quotes and tidy your edges and simply hang out. Summer, however, is full of bright light, more than a few spiders darting from corners (shiver), and many happenings. Plus, my … Continue reading →

there are days (at least, one has come along)…

Posted on April 20, 2009 by Deanna

…when I sit, blinking at my screen, catching up on blog posts adorned by spring and fall, crafting and healing. And then I wander under the amazing brightness of our solar tube, then out through the back door into sunniness, remembering, yes, it’s WARM. Ahh.

state of the blog

Posted on April 8, 2009 by Deanna

Nearly three years ago I started blogging. I’m not done, but I feel differently about it, by far, than I did the day I first typed a sentence into the little window on MySpace.

Into the new year we schlump. Or at least I’ve felt a bit off-kilter, my neck unable to twist side to side without pain shooting down my shoulder and arm. I couldn’t type enough to blog a post. I thought it would get better. It got worse. So yesterday I visited our friendly neighborhood chiropractor … Continue reading →

p’raps I should explain

Posted on November 1, 2008 by Deanna

Here’s what I’m doing. Well, first, a while ago I was posting pictures and brief tales from my trip with Tim to Germany and France. I plan to do more of that. I do. Then this past week I said I’d post every day in November to go along with NaBloPoMo. I’m really going along … Continue reading →

narratively

Posted on October 15, 2008 by Deanna

Seen any blog posts this year that tell a story? Have you heard a vibrant voice or two? Creative Nonfiction, a journal and foundation dedicated to promoting, yes, creative nonfiction, will publish another of their best-of books next year, and they’d like nominations from blogs.

what a blogger wants

Posted on September 10, 2008 by Deanna

I wasn’t sure for a long time why I did this. My second reaction to blogging, after my daughter set up my account, was that it looked like writerly fun. (My first reaction had been, “Journaling online, how sad”.) Later I waffled. Doing posts took energy I might be wasting in the long run. I … Continue reading →
