Earth Day Sans Internet

I woke up yesterday morning to no internet access at my house. Apparently it's the outside line damages and we have to wait until tomorrow, at best, for the Verizon people to get someone over to fix it. So, I've spent a good deal of time this weekend all over town from Starbucks to The Good Cherry to Panera to my studio, where internet is sketchy at best, trying to meet all my various deadlines. Since I own a pet sitting service as my day job, I drive past most of these places on my daily rounds, but it does get frustrating after a while, and I don't know how people concentrate to work in these situations.

Anyway, today, I had planned to blog here about Earth Day, as I have done in two other places around the net already, but alas, I am running out of time on a deadline. So, I'll have to make do with linking you to my two other Earth Day posts instead. You can read a little Earth Day history lesson over at The Ravens Crossing and find out what book started it all. Yes, that's right. It all started with a book. The power of the written word should never be forgotten. Then, you can cruise on over to The Keeper of the Zoo for more on how I intend to work on my green practices this year. Perhaps it will inspire you to do the same. Now, I must go finish my edits and write like the wind.

Celebrating Earth Day, Week 10, and My 110th!

The number ten is big this week. I have no idea what than means to numerologists, but I'm sure it's huge. Plus, Earth Day is this coming Sunday, one of the most important days of the year, if you ask me. So, I'm having a small celebration and you are, as always, cordially invited.

Not only is this the 10th week at The Ravens Crossing, the young adult, science fiction/fantasy project I am a part of with two other authors, but this also happens to be my 110th post on this blog. I couldn't have planned that if I tried. But, it seems meaningful. In fact, it feels like a huge accomplishment.

Thanks to those of you who have been reading. Though I am doing a happy dance over here and providing you with these little factoids, the real celebration is taking place over at The Ravens Crossing this week. I know, I know. It's another button you have to click. How inconvenient. Still, I hope you will make the jump. Today, another section of my story, Morgan & Holly, was published. But, it's not the typical 1000 word flash fiction. It's triple in length and told from both character's perspectives. In fact, all of the stories this week will be double in length at least.

People have been asking us for more, so we decided to celebrate Earth Day and the number 10 by delivering. Yesterday, Lucas & Riley by Andi Lea, was a full-length short story. So, you might want to start there. Then, follow along all week for more by Andi Lea, West Thornhill, and me. It's going to be great fun. Happy Earth Day. Happy Week 10. Happy 110th to me! Thanks again for reading.
