Books and SACO

I joined a Meetup book group and only attended one meeting. I really enjoyed it, and it was great motivation to read. I'm not sure about going during the warm months because I'll more likely be in Harmony on Sunday afternoons. Meanwhile, I'm quite determined to finish The Brothers Karamazov before picking up another thing. I've gotten into the habit of watching TV when I'm home alone in the evening, and I'd like to replace that with reading, writing, and doing crafty things.

I got a contract from World War II magazine for the SACO story and filed a first draft, but I haven't heard anything yet from the editor. I'll give her a poke this week.

Doing the research made me realize what a rich and complex subject it is. I'm wondering if it's a viable project for a book, and if I could possibly make any money writing it.

Web class

I started a web class this semester, planning to re-learn some web publishing basics. But after missing a couple of classes, I just dropped it. But I have all the materials. I'm going to go to the course web site and download all the powerpoint presentations for the lectures and try building a family history site.

Lose 10 pounds

I didn't want this list to turn into another version of futile New Year's Resolutions, but I got on the scale this morning and had a shocking revelation. I thought my clothes were a bit tight! Time to cut back on treats and crank up the exercise.
