I did ZERO fiction-writing this week but only because I spent that time on marketing and finalizing formatting for a couple of my projects as well as the WriteOn inaugural anthology.
I made a little progress on The Silent Corner by Dean Koontz, but it's progress.
Except for work and working out (some), that was the week. I'm the weekend editor, so I'll be cooking this weekend with Rebekah instead of writing, although if I'm fortunate, I can sneak a little fiction in somewhere. Not anticipating it, though.
For the curious, what does cooking with Rebekah have to do with being the weekend editor?
For the past few months, she and I have been cooking recipes from the BryonySeries cookbook Memories in the Kitchen: Bites and Nibbles from "Bryony," and posting the results on the Sue's Diner page at www.bryonyseries.com and on this blog.
The only time we have to work on this project together is Saturday afternoons, of which time I'm usually still writing. So we decided to cook for a couple hours on weekend editor Saturdays. We can always pause while I address a work-related issue, and if I'm needed for more than a pause, she can continue cooking.
And there we are. And onward...
Where to find my non-bylined works?
Local events: Pets, 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.

He's a Joliet music man
"Kevin is an excellent musician," John Herder, Joliet American Legion Band president, said.
"One of the things we liked about Kevin is that his needle points up. His
future is very, very bright. We saw only the upside with Kevin and how he and
the band can grow together."
An Extraordinary Life: A stellar volunteer, a teacher at
heart
After Irene Klindworth's death, her husband Carl said he
learned Irene completed that degree in three years, instead of the typical
four. But it didn’t surprise him.
“She was a very intelligent and strong-willed person. I
don’t know [how] she put up with me,” Carl said. “But she would laugh with me.”
Joliet women help with pet rescue efforts following Hurricane Harvey
"We know how to talk to dogs, vet dogs and clean up after dogs," Peggy Grandahl said. "We saw what was going on and we knew how bad [Hurricane] Katrina was. Knowing the area was underserved and knowing there wasn't enough help, we thought, "Well, we can lend ourselves."
Pets of the Week: Sept. 18
Read the caption of each photo to find out about that pet,
including where he or she can be adopted.
Rock for the babies, comfort the parents
Car seat, crib and bumpers, booties, diapers and hooded
towels: typical items purchased by expecting parents.
They usually don't consider caskets and headstones. But The
TEARS Foundation does.
Coal City chef prepping 'recipe for success'
The owners of Milkman Cafe in Coal City, a meal prep service
that uses locally produced foods, are within a few hundred dollars of their
$8,000 goal. It's an overall modest goal for the food industry, but the Larson
have three big plans for the funds.
Their Kickstarter campaign ends tomorrow at 9:28 p.m.
Channahon pastor didn't give up on God
Rev. Tim Casey often takes people aback.
Especially people who meet him for the first time to discuss
challenges in their lives. Because that's when they find out he's a
quadriplegic and ministers from a wheelchair.
"They say to me, 'I've come to talk to you about my
problems and you have your own problems,' " Casey said.
As Tim looks back on 20 years, he feels life's "worked
out pretty well." But not until he'd traversed some rocky spiritual
terrain.
"I was suicidal, you know," Tim said.
Why does Joliet Junior College own a brand-new harpsichord?
And not just any harpsichord. It's a custom-made,
one-of-a-kind, hand decorated harpsichord, designed in the style of the 17th
century Flemish Ruckers family, who were renowned for their harpsichords.
Artworks: Catching up with Plainfield-based Marina City
Ryan Arghast of Plainfield was just 17 and a Plainfield
North High School student when he launched his pop music career with Toxic
Productions.
Arghast even filmed his music video "Forever 17"
at the school. Watch it on YouTube.
Now in his mid-20s, Arghast is still performing music – as
vocalist for his band Marina City – except the genre has somewhat changed.
Recently, Arghast took a few moments to discuss where the band is now.
