Announcing the Yukon Blog Carnival

Before last week, when my friend Amanda sent out an email organizing one, I had never heard of a blog carnival. A blog Carnival, to my new understanding, involves participating bloggers to all commit to blog during the same time and is designed to get people blogging and readers reading. There is usually a theme and the suggested theme for this particular festival is "Blogging in 2012."

As you can see, at the bottom of my page, and right below this paragraph, there is a web tag notifying readers I am a participant in this carnival. During the next 2 weeks I will attempt to blog at last once a week, probably on a Saturday, and hopefully more. I also look forward to seeing who all the other participants are and reading what they have to blog about.

Happy reading!!

PS If you would like to join us, participants are welcome to join at any time :) Have fun!! 

Projects and Story Beginnings

Stellars Jay in Skagway, Alaska.

The past winter has been so full school commitments I haven't had the time I wanted to blog or write. However, I am 2 courses closer to my degree and that's a good thing.

Now, with summer approaching, I have made it a goal to at least get more writing done despite the other projects I want to start: a garden, roller skate practice to become a roller derby ref, walks, family, volunteer work, my mandolin (which has been sorrily neglected too), etc. I admit, have always been more optimistic and had way more projects than can be finished at once.

So, this will be a summer of writing about life... new expansions, gardens, and the odd fiction story or two. It should be a good one, sunshine, clouds, rain showers and all round living.

Enjoy!!!

PS. I have finally started my story with the Inukshuk...

The day the snowbirds came I followed the Inukshuk down, down into a starlit land. A land which hasn’t see the warm sun of day, nor the cold light of the moon. A land where distance becomes compressed, hours - minutes, miles - a few steps. A land where one can travel from winter to summer in the space of a few minutes...

What do you think??
