Week recap: very compressed, as staff gets tighter, but the work (writing stories about inspiring people) is very rewarding. Several extra stories this week. Looking back, I'm shaking my head and wondering, "What was I thinking???"
Making slow, but steady, progress on Henry's section in Before the Blood, pleased with the results and thankful for the slow start as it provided the opportunity to reflect on my portrayal. And loving the 2014 Book of Circus Black Butler episodes: plots and characters are layered and well developed.
Tonight I teach at the monthly writer's workshop (attendance is small and by invitation only from its coordinator), and this weekend is a meld of work, a family party, Divine Liturgy, and (hopefully) a good chunk of novel writing, as I am the weekend editor in seven days.
And now...
Check out the health, faith, and arts and entertainment calendars. Three of them can be found at the link below. http://www.theherald-news.com/lifestyle/ Gotta Do It, runs each Sunday and often stays on the home page through the week.
Feature briefs for Tuesday (health), Thursday (faith), Friday (Arts and Entertainment), and Sunday (People) are also edited (texted and photos) by the lady of this blog, but only the stories have bylines.
Another option: I do post the briefs and calendars on Twitter during the week, so you're welcome to follow me at @Denise_Unland61.
And if you do peek at these stories, to quote our editor Kate Schott, "Thank you for reading The Herald-News." :)
