Sunday morning from The Cottage of Blog

Good morning from the Cottage of Blog where the coffee's on and chat and remarks are welcome.

It's 8:30 in the morning and it's clouded over. My mood is such that I wish it would rain all day. My house has needed cleaning forever. the computer is much better than it was before the new memory was put in, but it still won't print directly off the "net." I have to copy and paste into msword to print anything. Which is--very inconvenient since I have to print out photos of rap and r&b stars to hang around my room for school.

Speaking of school, I wonder how my students will be this year? I've just found out that I will be going through 9th period instead of 8th. That brings me home an hour later. The good news is supposively, I can leave an hour later in the morning. In reality, I still leave at the same time and leave an hour later. I am going to have to figure out a writing schedule. Maybe it will be in the morning--then early in the evening. It depends on how tired I get.
If I didn't get interrupted so much, I could write during school hours. (LOL Yeah, right) or maybe, right after my last class, rather than waiting until I'm too exhausted when I get home. We shall see.

Today: I'll read some more Dwight Swain. Probably go back and re-read chapter 1. I'm still waiting for my Marshall books to arrive. Amazon.com has stated between Sept 6 and Sept 10. Why? I think it's because I ordered two Loreena McKennit CD's and one of them might not have been in stock.

If any of you love Celtic/Irish music and beautiful clear soprano voices, you will love Loreena McKennit. "The Visit" and "the Book of Secrets." One of the two has her version of "The Highway Man."
I was sobbing (almost) by the time I finished listening. She writes haunting and beautiful melodies.

I've finished all Maddie's assignments for August starting with the various points of view used in literature through reading Dwight Swain. Some of the assignments were posted, others were posted on my blog.

I definitely think we need a file where everything can be stored. I have files stored in my personal "Collie Writer's" Yahoo!groups site, but don't remember what's on there anymore. Today, I will go find out. Sort of like attacking your attic.

Can't think of much to say. I'm not feeling too well today. Probably because of everything that's happened that week, personally and nationally. The hate, hostility, resentment and sadness has penetrated every phase of life. I've experienced it during the workshops in school.

I'm ready for an assignment. Chapter 1 is still daunting as I don't know where I'm going and need a little help deciding. But, perhaps no one can decide that but me. There are basically 4 choices. Have I mentioned that before? About 5 times or so? LOL

I'm going to do the dishes and read. I can put off my decision for another Swain chapter or two.

Happy reading, writing and revising.

Pat
