Put February in the Win column! I passed 50,000 words again, and I’m up foranother great writing month in March. I had a crazy week revising my twoparables for my “Parables for Today” submission. I guess that book is comingout this Summer. I’ll post the details as I have them.

Writing Tip of the Week:
A good editor is worth his or her weight in…first edition rarebooks. (You thought I was going to say ‘gold’ didn’t you. I really do try towatch the cliché thing.) When looking for an editor, find someone who willreally tell it to you straight and give you ‘tough love’ when you need it. Ihave a really tough editor help me disassemble and reassemble two of my storiesthis week and though it hurt a little, I ended up with a superior finishedproduct.
Writing Update:
“Canticle of Night” is finished! The entire thing can be read andlistened to. My editor thought the story came to a satisfying conclusion, butif you do want more, I’m starting up the next “season” called “Canticle of Dawn”.It picks up years later in the Canticle Kingdom and tells the backstory of someof the pivotal characters from “The Canticle Kingdom” and continues the storyfrom “Canticle of Night”. They have told me that they would like to turn itinto an eBook and an audio book soon.

Yes, folks, your eyes aren’t deceiving you. There is yet another challenge for the writers who just can’t stand going without one.
I found this particular one when I joined the BlogHer Network a couple of days ago. The challenge is to write a themed blog post each day for the given month, in this case, February.
BTW, this should in no way intimidate or discourage any writer from picking up the gauntlet of that have beaten back many a writer. After all, there are many writers and other bloggers who already post each day. I know, because I used to be one of them.
According to the BlogHer challenge, February’s theme is “Relative,” meaning that each post must have something to do with family in one form or another.
Now, having redefined what constitutes “family” many times across the span of my life, I don’t seriously feel challenged as to topic. I have entire state’s worth of pseudo-family to draw from.
What might concern me, if I allow myself to think about it for more than a nanosecond, is the fact that I have three blogs—not counting an inactive one in the UK—which might, technically, fall under the auspices of this challenge.
Should I be held accountable for only one of my blogs each day, or, do I have to include all of them in the challenge?
That’s a big question and one I have only a few days to answer before beginning the keyboard shuffle.
I’m counting on all of you to help me with this decision. Am I supposed to do all three—that includes Trailing Inspirations on WordPress—or can I muddle through doing only one of them? And if only one, which one—Claudsy’s Calliope on Blogspot, or Claudsy’s Blog on WordPress?
Comments are encouraged, indeed, required on this one, peeps. HELP ME DECIDE!
Oh my goodness. I cannot even imagine doing all 3 every day … and on basically the same topic? Yikes! As slow as I am at writing, that’s all I would accomplish in Feb. *rolling eyes*
If it was me, I’d choose one. For those who follow one of your blogs, but not all 3, you could always place a “c’mon over here” message and link to your NaBloPoMo posts.
My first thought is that either of your wordpress blogs would be a good fit. But then I got to thinking … wouldn’t it be fun for you and Jo to work on it together at Trailing Inspirations? Complete with photos, of course!
Whatever you choose, I know we can count on quality work and words. Write on, my friend!

I have to say, Marie, that I’m leaning toward the same conclusion. I’d already thrown out Trailing Inspirations from the mix, simply because it would become too unwieldy during the process. Jo has too much on her plate right now to even contemplate such a task. You have no idea of the work involved for her for such an undertaking.
So, I’ll probably do only one blog entry each day and do it here, while also posting it on Calliope. Since there are different readers at each blog site, I’ll get all of them that way.
Won’t be long now before I have to begin it, either. Thanks, my friend, for your input. I always prefer knowing before I enter the belly of the beast what the likelihood is of sliding out the other end. Doesn’t mean I have to like the process, so much as that it benefits me in some way or another.

Hi there,
There is only one reason I might try a challenge like this and that is because it would force me to write every day. And for many writers this is a real challenge. Is there a specific word count that you have to reach with each post? In other words, is there a word minimum? If not, I’d say go for it. I know I will be signing up because I will be able to start writing my book about my relatives. You see, as you may remember, I live in a less than ideal family (this is a real understatement!!!) and marriage. And I have a tremendous amount to say about living with emotional vampires.
Oh well….here are my two cents worth. Please let me know your decision.
Good luck,
Irene Roth
claudsy said, on 1/29/2012 1:13:00 PM
As far as I’ve seen, there are no word count requirements, Irene. Although with everything else I have on my dinner table right now, I do believe one blog will be my limit for this challenge.
If you’re going to begin a book on your family, you could get the whole thing finished, at least in a long outline, by doing this challenge. Good for you.
It’s good to hear that you’re still up and running. Take care and God bless.

Irene said, on 1/29/2012 1:19:00 PM
Hi Claudsy,
It was great to hear from you. Is your email the same as it was when we last spoke?
About the blog challenge, that is precisely my goal. I just hope to jot down as many ideas as poosible in way of outline and take it from there.
I would love to be in touch with you from time to time. You have been an inspiration to me and I would certainly love to have you back in my orbit.
Please email me when you get a chance. My email is the same as before.
Take care, and talk to you soon,
Irene
claudsy said, on 1/29/2012 1:24:00 PM
I’ve haven’t changed emails, except for very specific uses, so drop a line to me whenever you wish.
We’d certainly have quite a bit to catch up on. That’s certain.
Keep writing.

February | Haven't We Done This Before? said, on 1/31/2012 7:11:00 PM
Since I've blogged about my dog, I think it's only fair to devote one blog about a new book I have coming out.
Probably the number one question people ask me is, "So what is it like to get a book published?" I think my answer to that has changed. With my first book, I actually felt terrified. I liked anonymity, writing whatever I wanted without anyone knowing anything more about me other than where I had previously published. And it was really, really weird to go from that to having people send me manuscripts to pass along to "the people at Flux" -- I guess everyone knows by now that if you have a published writer's email address, you're just about there...
But you get used to it. And you get used to people asking you to sign the book and telling you what's wrong with the book and how they would have written it and what both you and Andrew Karre (the previous editor at Flux) should have done. But it's definitely a life transition. The readers force the change in your life. There's one Library Thing reader review of The Shape of Water that speaks to how that's done more than I ever could:
This novel helped me let go of some painful and shameful things I had a difficult time with in my own life that I had...I was able to finally speak up to my father about anger that I had never been listened to without him cutting me off mid-sentence and that was the one main thing I was angry about. This novel changed my being able to speak up for myself, by persisting and clarifying what I meant to him. I have never been able to say that before about a book. I really love this book. As a result of reading this book, I dealt with tying up some loose ends in my own life. TERRIFIC!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND. The entire review is here.
That amazes me. And it reinforces what I've always believed: that books have the power to change lives. (Wonderful, I hear my son's voice saying, "Yeah, Mom, but so do diets." He's not here now, and I don't recall him ever saying that; I just hear that response. He really needs to go away to college...)
Anyway, I'm not talking about my NEW book which I said I would. First off, I love the cover. Everyone does; they tell me how great it is. I always say "THANKS!" even though the lovely folks at Flux did all the work. They figured out what went with the story, scouted for it, put it together, showed it to me, and I get the credit. So I love covers.
And second of all, I've already gotten emails that ask "It's not like your first book, is it?"
Nope. It's different. I think it's easier to read, less dense, and probably for a younger reader. I'm sure people will tell me what I and Brian Farrey (the present editor at Flux) should have done.
Or maybe not. I'm not sure what it's like to have a second book out yet, since it's not really official until February. I do know that if someone asked me now, "So what is it like to publish books?" I would answer: "It's great. It's really, really fun." How else would I ever open my email to read this from a thirteen year old girl: "Your new book is Parnormalish, right?"
Right.

Did you realize after you posted on my blog, my critmate told me your book, The Color of Water, changed her LIFE?
So, it is next on my reading list and then I will certainly read your new book. Would you possibly be interested in an interview on my blog? I'd be honored. First, let me do my homework.
That is a dynamite cover. I can't wait to read it. I know just what you mean about having your son's voice in your head, with me, it's my daughter's voice.
What a great review, Anne. If I were published and got a review like that, that would be it for me -- I could die happy. Your book sounds fantastic -- it's been on my list for some time now. When we get back to the U.K., I'm going to have a whale of a time reading all the books on my list.
Soooo . . . what's it like to have your second book coming out??? I wonder if it will be different . . . more manuscripts handed to you, more unsolicited comments, more bliss and wonderful comments and reviews . . .
Wow, Lisa, that's wonderful news. I know books can change lives - but most of us, including me, are way, way more used to READING life-changing books than writing them. Thanks for passing that along. I'm not sure I've ever been more flattered. And sure, I'd do an interview. However do keep in mind that after all this, I'm going to be impossible to deal with...
That's the thing, Elizabeth. Do you think it's because they once inhabited our bodies that their voices linger?
Thanks, Mary. Yes, the cover -- I take full credit for receiving the email that showed me the cover. It's harder than it looks.
But yeah, they really did a good job. I actually like all the covers at Flux.
Thanks, Jemi. I can't tell you how nice it is to do something I like to do and have it help people in some way.
I'll let both you and Katie know, sf. I can say this so far: it's way easier than the first. Sort of like having your second baby -- you know kind of what to expect. (Then again, my second baby was Philip, and if you follow this blog...)
Sorry, Bish, I maybe I didn't see it or it didn't send. I had to enable comment mod since I was getting "very sexy time" and that kind of spam in my comments section. But thanks!
Anne, I love the title of your new book...and the cover is gorgeous.
Congratulations. I am excited to read it.

You write YA books that people love, have two kids, work at a college and have a life? Somehow that's not fair.I can bareley take care of one elementary age kid, I dont' work and I have been working on a manuscript for over two years.
What's your secret?
And congratulations on your second book! It looks very intriguing and I can't wait to read it.
Hey Karen - I do remember meeting you. I actually have three kids, I'm sure there will be negative reviews of the book, and I have not much life - if by that you mean friends and parties and such.
I write in between things, and have never had a formal writing schedule. I almost never watch tv, and I am behind in a good many housekeeping arenas (my Christmas tree is still up; I'm scared that there are ceramic Halloween pumpkins still on the dining room shelf...that kind of thing)
I guess I think about what I'm going to write while I'm doing things like driving, folding laundray (or listening to the dean's speech), then when I get some free time, I write like crazy, really fast and fix it later. You just have to stick with it; your ms will come together.
I sometimes struggle with different aspects of writing v. publishing. An MFA recently scolded me about my drive to follow the market. "You should write for yourself," he chided.
The best thing, I suppose is when we can do both, write for ourselves and for the marketplace. I've always said, what's the use of writing unless you're being read.
February is Black History Month, and I wanted to tell you about a really cool website, Black Heritage Toys. They have economical toys, featuring prominent black figures in history as well as resources for teachers. I’m just going to tell you about the things that you can find on this site to use in your classroom or at home with your children.
For under $20, you can buy one of six games from Black Heritage Toys. These games are: a black heritage trivia game for adults or kids, “I Can Do Anything” game about careers, Mancala for kids, a matching game, and the Underground Railroad game you see featured here.
This company also sells puzzles from 24 to 1000 pieces, featuring Harriet Tubman, Barack Obama, and Matthew Henson. These puzzles are all under $10–very economical!
Finally, the resources section of the website are two PDFs you can download for either students ages 3 to 6 or 8 to 11. The 3 to 6 guide is a lesson plan called “Escape to Freedom” about the Underground Railroad. The 8 to 11 guide is a lesson plan about the Ewe people from Ghana and their wonderful art of weaving.
Use this website and its economical resources to teach your students and/or children during Black History Month!
But is there anything else in early February in Montreal? It’s a big church to warm up. There are large vents on each side of the sanctuary that put out heat. People will congregate there to warm themselves before sitting down. I spent a good part of the service in front of one myself.
But when [...]

While I was looking for pictures of the last snowstorm, I finally found the picture of our Christmas mantle that I thought I had never taken.
Everyone piled stuff there without any real pattern, sort of a designer's potluck. It has nothing to do with this post, but that's sort of the way February has been going around here.
Here are observations from my snowlog:
1. Cats really, really don't understand glass. Maybe buying a glass computer table to fit into the kitchen corner should have been thought through a little more.
Our cats are already nuts and now they are making themselves crazier than ever by trying to knock pens and papers off the glass. When we clear it, they try to bite each other's paws through the glass. Lots of giant skunk tails and long caterwauls that sound like: rrrrrrreeeeeeewwwwwwwoooooohhhhh. It's like living inside the soundtrack of nightmares.
2. Philip is going to church with me now. Yup, lapsed Catholics that we were. There is a much, much longer story to this, but suffice it to say, my tall boy is now listening to weekly homilies and gospel right next to his mom.
And isn't that every 16 year old boy's dream?
3. I am cleaning out my closet. Really cleaning, as in basement and attic scouring, so even the bagged up stuff that I paid a lot for and was going to fit into one day is g

I've been a little less forthcoming with my kids too. Yesterday, my eldest wanted me to wait over 20 minutes for her in a freezing station while she finished shopping, in Glasgow. I texted her directions to a cafe and went to do my waiting there instead, in heated comfort. And yes -- I used the same WTF? tone she's employed on me! It worked perfectly.
A glass table would confound my cats too. They don't understand going outside to use the toilet when there's such a nice, warm carpet to use instead. Sigh...
Right, Mary? My kids, who I have admittedly spoiled with attention, will say to me, "Well, who made me this way?"
Now I say to them, "I can unmake it, too then."
I'm sensing they don't like that so much.
Put cayenne pepper in little bowls of aluminum foil where the cats have decided to make their daily deposits. At least it worked for me on a rubber plant BabyCat deemed her latest potty.
Who says we can't outsmart kids and cats and their senses of entitlement?
Sorry for posting this so late in the month. I forgot all about the link up portion of the challenge. Ugh, what a rookie!
The Details:
Make sure that before you link-up your reviews, you sign up for the challenge on the challenge post.
Anyone, even non-bloggers can participate. Open worldwide. If you don’t have a blog, just link to your Amazon, Good Reads or other review posting.

This month’s prize drawing will be down at 11:59 pm EST on February 28th so you have until that time to make entry/reviews counting for February’s drawing.
Hi! My kids and I are heading off on our second imaginary trip around the world, and I am posting lists and short reviews of the best picture books we find on my website: Delightful Children’s Books.

I would like to start a new tradition around here, and I want it to be something special given at least once a year. I want to give away a painting, and I think Valentine's Day is the perfect time.
Title: "Love Floats"

Yuppers! There will be a second and third place winner too!
Second Place Prize: *Two (2) 8x10 prints of your choice from my shop and one (1) Print of "Love Floats"
My biggest blessing, with out a doubt, is my husband. He has been with me most of my life, helped me when I needed it, scolded me when I need that and loved me with every breath he takes. He always takes the time to make me feel good about myself, our marriage and everything we have yet to do. He's an amazing man, and I would be lost with out him.
I think one of the top times I've felt both blessed and loved was recently when my whole world was falling apart, my dog Pixie became seriously ill and required major surgery. Many of my artist friends online got together and we raised the money to get her the surgery and aftercare she needed. It was beyond love, it was spiritual.
Posted on Facebook & my favourite art print (at the moment!) is: Fairy in Gold Art Print - Owl Mask - Autumn Masquerade - Warrior Princess
If I were going to be honest, I would have to say that the biggest blessing I have ever received is Eternal Life from God. He took me in when I was despicable, loved me, and cares for me no matter how wayward I can be, or how foolishly stubborn I am. That is truly the greatest blessing of all.
I Facebooked this, and my favorite print (well, ONE of them; honestly, I can't pick just one) but I LOVE Guardian Angel. I also adore the Fairy With Mask and the Celtic Fairy. =) And also, I'm blogging about this!!
I'd have to say the greatest blessing in my life is Christ. But I wouldn't have said that even a few weeks ago. I guess the real greatest blessing is that God has placed certain people in my life that care for me so much that I can't even understand. The motherly figure that pulled me aside when I was living for myself and just said simply "You do realize you only have one life to live". It woke me up and since then I've began to see the blessings that I thought were not there all the more clearly.
My (two!) favorites in your shop are your "Forest Guardian" and your Chrysanthemum "Mum".
I came out of hiding just to share the contest post on my wall <3! I haven't been feeling well lately, hence I'm just stalking lately on Facebook. Here's my share post about the contest.
Such touching stories! Thank you so much for sharing. :)
Danielle, I feel the same way about my husband. To have a partner who's in it with you through thick and thin, completely committed, changes the world. So overjoyed hearing that you have that in your life!
Nora, that's astounding! What a gift!!! I think when money and time are the two biggest sacrifices because it forces us to look beyond ourselves. To know that many people rallied around you. Wow. Pure love.
Mirriam, I'm right there with you sister. :) I'm a daily stubborn and independent woman. His love is so great!
Bethie you are so right about your circle. A little over a year ago I had people but no Christians other than my husband who were in my intimate circle. I prayed craving what I saw others having...nothing clicked. Now I'm surrounded, my circle is very wide, and I have some of the best relationships! I pray that this year is just filled over the brim for you and your heart. :) What blessings He has planned for you!
Heya Sonia! So glad to see you peek out and make an appearance! Thank you so much for your support. To officially enter the drawing can you - when you're feeling better - share one of your biggest blessings? Get better soon! ^_^
What touched me the most and was my biggest blessing was having my daughter. I am struggling now for a second child and this helps me to realize just how much of a blessing she really is! I love her dearly and would do anything for her. :) Thank you for this giveaway. amymccarty at hotmail dot com
