No big deal to me since I’m not of that persuasion, not since I was a little kid (and not even then, because my belief system wasn’t formed and I was lucky enough to have parents that let me make up my own mind). To me it’s just another Sunday morning with the usual self-imposed deadline for my Tuesday web site article posting.

It’s of course, all of these things, yet when you break it down, looking back at where you likely stand right now, it’s basically either a bunch of effort for a: nothing or b: a great deal of fun with tentative results.

It&#8217;s here as a lesson in writing humor, for inspiration, and because what the heck, we all need a break from serious study once in a while.

		<description><![CDATA[By Tami Cowden I once attended a workshop that focused on sharper, clearer writing. The speaker discussed many common grammatical and word misuses, and offered lots of strong advice to improve writing. But there was one bit of advice to which I took exception, even though this advice has practically become a mantra among romance writers. It had to do with the dreaded flying body parts. I can’t count the number of times I have heard speakers tell a roomful &#8230; <a href="http://nevadawriters.org/breaking-the-rules-in-defense-of-flying-body-parts">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Eric James Miller &#160; Writing can be a solitary, even isolating endeavor. Carving out a set amount of time per day (or week) to write isn&#8217;t always easy and feeling &#8220;inspired&#8221; to write during that precious time is a gamble any casino odds-maker would bet against. Plus, let&#8217;s face it, writers can be a prickly bunch. Most of the time we just want to be left alone. But a writer waiting around for inspiration to strike is idle folly. &#8230; <a href="http://nevadawriters.org/online-writing-communities-want-you">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Richard Warren Over 1300 years ago a man tended the animals of a monastery located in Northumbria in what is now northern England or southeastern Scotland. His name was Caedmon and he would later go on to become a monk himself. Though thought to be illiterate, he created a nine-line hymn that was later recorded by an English monk known as the Venerable Bede. Caedmon&#8217;s Hymn is the oldest known work of Old English writing.
