Summer Fun = Summer Delays

I have not been able to make much headway on most of my projects over the past couple of weeks. Events such as the 4th of July holiday weekend, a couple of family birthdays and my own birthday have shortened time for writing. What I was unable to accomplish with the pen I was able to make up in other areas.

I began a role as an editor for a blog whose subject matter is Palestinian women, which has gone very well. The blog’s author is passionate about the subject, and we have plans to work on a number of future projects together. Her passion and vigor towards these projects will make these very exciting to work on.

Posting on the “Raising Our Humans” site is all that I have posted over the past couple of weeks, but I did land a new sponsor for the site. I am putting the finishing touches on a new “Hike For Play” article, as well as my “Windy City Hoosier Source” debut piece highlighting the Marquette Golden Eagles 2011-12 recruiting class. I am hoping to finish these up by early next week so that I can move onto sending out a few more query letters.

Lastly, I will be heading to the Wisconsin north woods this weekend to deliver some of my mom’s artwork to a new gallery that she will be selling through in Minocqua. If you are in the area, be sure to check out “Wild Women of the North and a Few Men”. They have great art pieces for all tastes and price ranges, all made by local artists.
