I see the weather has broke in some places and yet others is getting worse 😮  Up here in Canada, it is so hot and dry we are burning up. Over 1000 wildfires going on right now   I wouldn't go camping now unless it was on a river or lake shore.  So back to one of the parts of the camping theme, I mentioned about swimming.

Summer Resolutions, Anyone?

This year I’m going to clear out the shed. I’ll try this long hike someone recommended. I won’t sleep in every day.  I’ll eat healthy, all these yummy vegetables and fruit that are available now. I will finish the story that has been on hold for so long. Summer break starts on Monday, and I have a very long list. What about you? Maybe try to write a prompt story?   PT Prompt #352   Dale bought an ice cream maker, but vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry are just about that

Secret Author Event-Forbidden Knowledge Due!

Now, there has been some.... misinformation out there. 15th... 16th... what was the true date?

So the advice is geared towards appealing to existing audience and new audience as a way to attract interest. As always, you can write what you want. But if you

Weekly Wrap Up (Jul. 5 - Jul. 11)

I'm going out on a limb here and guess that most of you are in the northern hemisphere, so I apologize to our southerners. Yet this discussion is for all of you! I haven't yet gone camping this year, but my intentions are going to be gone for a few weekends here and there.  I am a roughing ii as a camper in the sense that I pitch a tent, set up a canopy over the picnic table, have a propane stove, have no running water, electricity or sewer. Yes, the local outhouse is my plumbing  You
