I just realized I totally forgot about The Escapist Coloring Club yesterday.
I’ll get the post out today. Sorry.

An AFTER THE HAPPILY EVER AFTER Excerpt: “Rainbow Slide” by Dana Wright
“How late are your parents going to be out?” Jared said in my ear as his hand groped toward the edge of my shirt. I wiggled away and reached for the TV remote.
“They should be home in about an hour, why?” I shoved the bowl of popcorn from the coffee table at him and moved over on the couch. Flipping channels until it hit a horror movie, I settled back against an overstuffed pillow and tried…

A quick note to explain my absence
Sorry I haven’t been around. This cold continues to plague me. Now, the left side of my neck is swollen enough that I can feel it when I move, and it’s affecting my hearing. The brain fog is starting to lift with the addition of Advil to my diet; hopefully once I’ve had breakfast (AND COFFEE!) I’ll be able to sit down and concentrate on my own posts and the comments/pings etc.
I’ll be back!
Update – Poll for Pingback Users
My totally unscientific poll (which I’m reblogging so you don’t have to go looking for it if you’re interested in the results) showed nothing, really, except what I suspected anyway–that the pingbacks were spotty and most people still use the classic editor.
It seems like they’re working again now, though. (Yay!) Thanks, I’m sure, all go to John Holton, who contacted WordPress on the matter.
So ping away! 🙂
Pingbacks have been unreliable for a while now, but it seems in the last week or so they’ve gone from fickle to downright unstable.
I’d like to conduct a little experiment, to see if different types of accounts/different editors have anything to do with the recent issues.
Please choose one of the following, and let’s see if there’s any clear correlation between the technology we’re using and the pingback failures many of us are having.
Thanks for participating!
And thanks for the idea, Shelley!

About More Glimpses
Do you believe in fairies at the bottom of the garden? Or know the real truth about what lurks inside every mobile phone? Would you steal items from a blind person, or send your neighbours on a time travelling adventure fraught with danger and menace to save the human race from a bug? How about staying in a sleepy village where many murders have taken place or coming to the aid of royalty while out shopping?

An open letter to the writer who told me I’d likely NEVER be published
Inspiration. Congratulations, Louise, for being able to write this letter.
Hello,
While I was going through some papers I found a report you’d written on my first novel and as I read it I felt incredibly sad. You probably won’t remember it, or me, but in 2015 you almost crushed my dreams.
Almost.
I’d longed to be a writer much of my life but, always lacking in confidence, being published seemed unachievable. I didn’t have a degree, any A Levels. I didn’t have the courage to sign up for a writing course.
In my 30’s an accident left me with a disability and my life radically changed. I then spent several years struggling with chronic pain, and my mood until I started writing a story, then entitled ‘Dear Grace’ about best friends, Grace, and Charlie.
For the first time in a long time, I felt I had something to get up for. A purpose. Often I was awake throughout the…

It All Depends On How You Ask The Question.
It really does depend. Dog owners will understand.
Note: Comments are turned off here. Click on the original post! 🙂
I have three dogs. One is a good sized mixed breed who is getting on in years (13). The other two are small breeds who are about two years old. All of the dogs I’ve had through out my life have always stayed (adequate shelter provided) and enjoyed being outside.
With the addition of the two younger dogs, so began a new experience with small breeds who are not as tough when it comes to outside weather elements. With these two I had to invest in a metal crate so that they could be brought into the house during the cold winter months. They aren’t the best trained dogs, but they do alright.
So this morning I let them out for about an hour. They started running to the door and when I went outside they decided to come in. I put them into their crate and they proceeded to…
