Today is pressed at the beginning and the end: Friday deadlines and teaching tonight, so here goes.
I didn't write (or edit) too much fiction this week as it seemed I kept chasing myself all over the place and needed the time to catch up a bit ("a bit" is an understatement. Don't feel caught up at all).
I did, however, finally add make the copy edit changes in Cornell Dyer and the Missing Tombstone and outline a new book for Bertrand. I also rewrote and did some minor editing on last Saturday's fiction-writing marathon.
Goals for this weekend?
Probably sleep in until six a.m. or so since tonight will be late.
Work on Before the Blood until early afternoon.
Upload Cornell.
Put together the second Bertrand book.
Make some yarn dolls for the third Bertrand book.
Finally write a chapter in the second Cornell book: Cornell Dyer and the Necklace of Forgetfulness.
MAYBE do a little work with the bryonyseries website. (Rebekah and I made a list).
Upload a new recipe to Sue's Diner. Haven't checked out this week's recipe? Please do so before it goes away.
Attend a work-related event in the evening.
This all feels do-able to me, but it's Friday morning, so we shall see.
Onward to the real work!
The health, faith, and arts and
entertainment calendars: where to find them? Under the sections tab on the left
hand side of http://www.theherald-news.com/.
Click on "features" and the topics drop down. Assembled by moi.
Gotta Do It, also by me, runs each
Sunday in the People section.
Feature briefs for Monday
(pets), 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. I do try to post new content daily.
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 of course, I post curated content relating to the
BryonySeries at @BryonySeries.
Thank you for reading The
Herald-News.

Mystery Diner: McWethy's Tavern in Romeoville offers unique Scottish and American
dishes
We split an order of warm pretzel nuggets with ale butter glaze and bourbon
horseradish dip for $8. The portion was generous and so good. The ale and
bourbon didn’t overwhelm the dish, and the horseradish gave it the right bite.
