I will be writing a monthly craft column for a magazine! It's a regional magazine published here in Oklahoma and distributed free: The Corridor

I sent the editor a proposal yesterday, with a sample article I proposed for the first one, and she responded back promptly today! I'll get PAID (not much, but more per article than I was getting at Demand Studios) and I will retain my copyright, so that after the article has been in print, I can post it online or whatever I want!

And my first article will appear in the JULY issue! Now, is that a great birthday present or what???

I have posted another chapter of "Ancestress" to troubledtribble

Chapter Forty-three, Adamanta's Children: Aster and Rowan

I've just posted an update for "Eleventy-one Years: Too Short a Time"

An unexpected event at the Great Smials, prompts Bungo, Belladonna and wee Bilbo to make a visit to the Tooks...

Our church had an old-fashioned ice cream social and hymn sing tonight to welcome our new pastor. She seems very nice, and I have liked both of her sermons that I've heard so far (This was her second Sunday). She has a much quieter style than our previous pastor, whom I also liked very much.

We sang a lot of old hymns, including some I had not sung in quite a while. This one was a favorite of one of my college roommates-- hearing her singing it in our dorm room with her guitar was the first time I ever heard it. Anyway, I found several versions of it on YouTube, but this one I thought was the nicest-- these kids sing beautifully!

Hey, LJ! I do not like the new scrapbook!

I thought at first I would-- it's much faster uploading. But you seem to have take away the whole purpose of it-- before, I could arrange the pictures and captions right there at the scrapbook, and the pictures would be sized properly for an LJ entry. The whole entry would be ready to go.

Unless I am missing something it won't do any of that anymore. I just get a pageful of gigantic pictures with no captions at all. Bummer!

Guess what? My muse is not content with my juggling four WIPs, it has decided to add a fifth one, and a very ambitious one at that, into the mix!

I am tackling a "biography" of Bilbo!

For one-hundred-and-eleven years, Bilbo Baggins dwelt in Bag End, in Hobbiton of the Shire, save for a brief journey into the Wide World. This is his story.

I hope that I will be able to keep up with all of it. I am several chapters ahead on "Ancestress" now, a couple of chapters ahead on "In the Court of the High King" and "Cado's Year", and I had three ready of this one before I started. "The Prisoner and the Hobbit" of course, will await the pleasure of pandemonium_213's Dark Muse.
