How’s My Timberdoodle Eighth Grade Curriculum Going?

July 11, 2018

Once we were taking Cali on a walk. Cali found a lovedove. Then Cali chased it. And played with it. They were friends. They played together for one hour. And they jumped onto a tree. And then Cali had to go home. But Cali was sad. So we made Cali a stuffed animal of it….

Story Musing #2

July 9, 2018

Okay, I’ve hit 5,000 words! For Camp NaNo so far, I think I’ve been doing…okay. (FYI, I changed my goal from 30,000 words to 25,000 words) I have been writing about Johnny the Fairy Godbrother, and right now one of my characters is yelling at everybody else that they shouldn’t be hiding and that they…

Story Musing

June 30, 2018

This year for Camp NaNoWriMo, I will be most of the time in Scotland and some time in England. Luckily, I was able to find a story idea (exactly one day before Camp NaNoWriMo!)–an old idea but turned into a (hopefully) 30,000 word novel. It will be about this ten year old boy named Johnny,…

100 Word Story: Truly

June 28, 2018

The night is dark, but not to her. With her thick black fur and blinding white teeth, she is one with the night. Everybody feared her, with her black paws that hid long dagger nails, and her yellow-green eyes that could blaze through the night. But was she truly scary? Was her teeth so violent? …

  Are you doing Camp NaNoWriMo this July? What will you be writing about? What are some things you’re going to pack for camp? What’s your word count goal?   I’m still not positive what my story will be yet…I have a few ideas, but once I started writing them I stopped liking them. Hopefully…

What I Write About and Science Fiction

May 5, 2018

Usually at some point in time when I’m meeting people, writing comes up. And, of course, they ask me what I write.   And I generally don’t know what to say. What do they mean? Genre? Length?   Usually I go with genre, and then, if they aren’t satisfied, I tell them about what I’m…

Books about Scotland for Kids

April 30, 2018

There are lots of books on Scotland and its history, but some books are too long or too dense for kids. Most of Scotland’s castles and historical sites have gift shops where they sell books about Scotland for kids, but if you aren’t going to Scotland, or are planning a trip, or are just interested,…
