Write The Day Away. Laquo; To Market, To Market. A Happy St. Swithin’s Day To You. July 14, 2011. Checking Writer’s Market online for publications where The May Basket might fit (traditional women’s magazines: Good Housekeeping, Ladies Home Journal) I learned a couple of interesting things. Firstly, that GH and LHJ accept no un-agented fiction. In other words, you have to be well-established or productive enough to have corralled an agent. I’m not there yet. As written, The May Basket doesn’t have ...

Write The Day Away. To Market, To Market. June 29, 2011. Out of my voluminous files of unfinished stories, I pulled a short story called “The May Basket”. It’s the lucky recipient of my editorial attentions this week. 8220;The May Basket” is a 580-word story I wrote in about half an hour three, four, maybe five years ago. After I finished it, I couldn’t think of any major changes to make. This does not mean it was an instant masterwork. It really isn’t my market. I subscribe to writersmarket.com. I’...

Write The Day Away. Laquo; Summer’s winding down. Time to get serious. Cardinal Plant: A Survival Story, or, How One Plant Survived My Gardening Efforts. September 5, 2011. I completely forgot about them until last year when a mysterious red flower appeared in a patch of weeds. Thrilled to have discovered a new, blooming weed (See, my Master Gardener friends? It was sure a good thing I left this patch alone! It dawned on me that this was one of the Cardinal plants I had slapped into the ground one fall.

Write The Day Away. Lunchtime will never be the same. September 19, 2011. Unlike most people of my acquaintance, I love Mondays. New week, new start. The newspaper’s crosswords are easiest on Monday.

Write The Day Away. Laquo; Monday, Monday. Happy Birthday to Me, and to Oktoberfest. Lunchtime will never be the same. September 29, 2011. I am going to reveal something about myself that I have kept under wraps for years. It is something few friends know about me. It is something that I am a little embarrassed to admit. You will probably be shocked to learn my secret: I watched “All My Children”. AMC was my luncheon companion when I was eating at home between noon and one pm. Like comfort food, it r...

Write The Day Away. Laquo; Cardinal Plant: A Survival Story, or, How One Plant Survived My Gardening Efforts. September 8, 2011. I visited HiFi Sound. Browsing the store, I was enchanted by a wall covered with colorful record jackets. Artfully displayed, all the LPs were for sale. The salesman directed me to a hallway that contained even more of them. I was delighted as I flipped through them and found records that I had owned. Maybe they were even my very albums! Still, I’m thinking fondly of my o...

A Happy St. Swithin’s Day To You | Write The Day Away
https://writethedayaway.wordpress.com/2011/07/15/a-happy-st-swithins-day-to-you
Write The Day Away. Laquo; Editing Despite Myself. A Happy St. Swithin’s Day To You. July 15, 2011. I’ve long been fascinated with St. Swithin’s Day. It’s just so prototypically English, with a catchy rhyme in Elizabethan usage, honoring a Saxon churchman. Traditionally, the weather today predicts the weather for the next forty days, sort of the way Groundhog Day predicts the coming or delay of spring. 8216;St. Swithin’s day if thou dost rain. For forty days it will remain. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Restless | Write The Day Away

Write The Day Away. Laquo; A Happy St. Swithin’s Day To You. Summer’s winding down. Time to get serious. August 5, 2011. I’ve been restless lately. Feeling like selling my house and moving to a new one. Maybe even building the new one, so it’s exactly the way I want it. Yeah, it’s a crummy time to think of selling a house, but that hasn’t deterred me from looking at realtor’s listings online. Realtor: And the basement is fully finished, so you have another 1500 square feet of living space! I don’t ...

Happy Birthday to Me, and to Oktoberfest | Write The Day Away

Write The Day Away. Laquo; Lunchtime will never be the same. Happy Birthday to Me, and to Oktoberfest. October 12, 2011. As a child, I lamented my October birthday because I thought life would have been a little better had I not been required to attend school on on my special day. Barring the twelfth falling on a weekend, I was there. No sense in faking a sick day on my birthday! Munich still has “the” Oktoberfest, but the festival is celebrated in many parts of Europe and America even today&...You are c...
