I like blogging even though it takes a bit more effort what is posted stays there and can be searched. <br /><br />The internet,like a favorite typewriter, is a personal choice.

You don't have to share any information about what you're writing unless you want to. It's one of the groups on nanowrimo.org.Richard Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16232053429935587826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058472817603514138.post-69299181809373207602017-10-05T12:20:44.066-07:002017-10-05T12:20:44.066-07:00I was laid off twice from newspapers in one year a...I was laid off twice from newspapers in one year after nearly 20 years unscathed. It took me another two years to find a job. But it was for the best: my parents died in that time, and I was able to spend time with them. Once I returned from Puerto Rico, I got a job. My lesson was to trust in the Lord: I had forgotten that, or at the very least lost faith. On to Nano: I've given it much thought and would like to join. I already started a novel. But I don't want group input as much as someone to join me in the journey. What do you guys suggest?

I have a new one now and it got me out of Florida (finally)!<br />I do a LOT more programming now, all new to me, than when I did machine controls. The challenges are great though.

Since I started my blog I used to type daily. In doing so I filled at least one 3 inch binder a year of daily typed pages.

I've gone through two long periods of unemployment in the past two years, and it has taken a lot of work to keep myself from curling up in dark holes.<br /><br />I realize I've been following your blog for almost a decade now. Good grief! I remember your spot-on advice when my firstborn was still a newborn, and am dreading the day when she goes off to college because I'm sure it'll be way too soon.D.
