Story Round-Up: Features in The Herald-News, March 1 through March 6

Wow!

There's lot to read and view here, so I'll keep commentary short and simple.

I hope you're having a great start to your Friday and that it continues to go well.

I hope your weekend is even better.

And send up good thoughts for me that I'll get lots of writing down on my two novels in progress this weekend.

The muse has been a little slow to activate, and I find myself defaulting to reading good books instead of writing them.

Non-bylined features:

Monday through Saturday I assembled my non-bylined works into one convenient file and posting them on Facebook in the evening, so readers can easily choose the ones they want to read.

Or search by topic (people, pets, A&E, faith, health, and food) at theherald-news.com.

Social media:

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 join 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.
