Curiouser and curiouser!
That's the best way to describe this week (thank you, Alice and Lewis Carroll for the phrase).
It's been a week with more twists than a corkscrew (or a good novel). Ever have a week like that?
It's not necessarily been a bad week, just an interesting one (and in many ways a good one).
No, I'm not playing the social media "beg me to tell you." There's nothing in particular to tell - it's just been an interesting week in a way that would interest only me.
But here's something: Even though the day is super-packed I am, from the early morning side of things, right on time and not behind at all.
How 'bout it?

Non-bylined features:
Monday through Saturday I assembled my non-bylined works - brief posts and calendar listings - into one convenient file and posting them on Facebook in the evening, so readers can easily choose the ones they want to read.
One can also find those event listings, the Gotta Do It calendar, as well as the pets, health, faith, and arts and entertainment calendars, under the sections tab on the left hand side of http://www.theherald-news.com/. Click on "features" and the topics drop down. Gotta Do It runs under "people."
Community news? Again, under the sections tab, under features, and by topic. Updates are posted on these days in print and web (and some only on web on other days as I have the time):
Daily updates: I do post the briefs and calendars on Twitter during the week, so you're welcome to follow me at @Denise_Unland61.
BryonySeries stuff: I post curated content relating to the BryonySeries at @BryonySeries. And assorted related content at www.facebook.com/BryonySeries. And of course, please follow the adventures of Bertrand the Mouse on Instagram at bertrand_bryonyseries.
If you're a writer anywhere in the world, you're welcome to jon WriteOn Joliet's Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/writeonminooka/?ref=bookmarks. We're based in Joliet, Illinois, but we love to meet and interact with writers outside our area, too.
Upcoming events:
Once Timothy Baran is done updating this page, these will listed here: https://www.bryonyseries.com/fetes-and-feasts.
Check out the progress he has made so far. Each square is hand-built. And be sure to "hover" your hand over the first square. Note: this only works (so far) with the desktop version.
But he's also made A LOT of changes to the website. So be sure to roam around a bit.
