Plug day!

So in between my grief group and a doctor's appointment, I haven't gotten a whole lot of time to write today.  After dinner (which my dear husband is cooking for me as we speak) I plan on getting down to business on A Window to the Gift.

Just a short post today with updates and plugs for upcoming events.

• As of posting this, I have 3880 words in my manuscript.  That's a record for the most I've ever written in one day.  I doubt I can keep that pace up, but I'm still pretty stoked about it.  Feel free to buddy me if you're taking part in NaNo.

• The Small Packages blogfest posting day is just two weeks away!  Put your thinking caps on for this month's theme: 
• In honor of Thanksgiving, and the beginning of a long line of colonists screwing over Native Americans, post about a time that you took advantage of someone. Or if you don't want to be that revealing about your darker side, write about a time that someone took advantage of you.

• The husband has a great contest going on his blog.  Show off your Inappropriate sense of humor and maybe win a free T-shirt!  Check out his ever growing Cafe Press shop, too!

• Make sure to check back tomorrow for the latest installment of Taking Liberty, my 3WW inspired serial story.

•  Prepare yourself for support-less support at Blogging Blobs, a new cooperative blog I'm a part of.

• Check out my album review of  KJ Denheart's Album No 9 at Frequency Magazine.

Trying to get my act into shape

So if you haven't noticed, I've been a bit absent from the bloggersphere lately.  I'm trying to remedy that, and I thought I might ask for some ideas.

I'm thinking about doing a theme for every day, that way if I don't have something to write about, I can have something to fall back on.  Here's my thoughts so far:

Monday: Random Monday Goodness--Links and videos of weird stuff I've run across lately.  Monday's are usually my toughest days to write.

Tuesday: I have absolutely no idea.

Wednesday: Three Word Wednesday. It's a pretty cool meme that I've been meaning of taking full advantage of, but just keep putting it off.  I was also thinking of highlighting my favorites from the last week.

Thursday: Another blank.

Friday: Fiction Friday?  I was wanting to have a day where I post part of something I've written or a flash fiction piece.  But I've noticed that I don't get a whole lot of response on those types of pieces.  What do you think?

Saturday: Wannabe Writer's Day.  If you've followed me for long at all, you know I probably stick to this more than anything.  It's a great support group for those of us wanting to get published.

Are there memes/themes that you use in your blogging?  Do you find them helpful or harmful?

Also, my husband has started his own meme, inspired by Wannabe Writers.  It's the Monday Weigh In.  We're looking to find a group of people who are also struggling with weight/health issues.  Check out his or my posting for this week.  It's a bit nerve-wracking, but very cathartic and helpful, too.
