You’re a good bunch of readers!
Nov 20, 2007 Adoption, Book work, work work work
I appreciate all of the well wishes about my dad (who is appreciating the time he’s spending with his brother’s family) and the encouragement re., my op-ed. We spent the evening at Jessica’s house and it was a reassuring way to end the day. We had cake and it was very rich and now we’re all very sleepy from all the sugar. I have got to get some exercise!
I also came up with the name for my book. I’ve been stymied since I changed the focus and it’s been working in the back of my mind for some days. Today it finally came to me and even Brett approves. (He’s a bit finicky about this book idea because he is a cautious soul.) I knew I didn’t want Madison’s name in it although this is sure done A LOT in adoption books because she already has so many reasons to resent me and my writing career. And then I had some trouble with verbs and huffed around about them for a bit. It’s a working title — if I get an agent s/he might have ideas then if I get a publisher s/he might have some ideas — but it, well, works. I’ll probably share it soon but right now I’m feeling too shy about it.
Speaking of projects, my goal for December is to come up with my Smart Cookie marketing plan for 2008.
(I don’t know if my feed is working yet by the way. Let me know if you’re not getting updates so I can wring my hands and look frustrated until I figure out how to fix it.)

Feed seems to be working for me.

It’s not working in Bloglines. Don’t wring too hard.

Feed’s working fine for me (via Google Reader). Never stopped working at all, in fact. Nor did it ever show me partial feeds.

You KNOW I don’t know how to work feeds! Unless it involve some diet coke and a food!

I resubbed to a different RSS feed which seemed to solve the problem. I had to unsub from the other one, though, so I can’t say if it is working now or not.
I am glad things are going decently wrt your dad’s situation. I was thinking about him today.

I’m with bloglines, too, and I’m going to try AmFam’s idea, because I woke up one morning and realized your feed hadn’t updated in a week. And that just wasn’t possible.

I use Google Reader and you are coming through just fine.
I used to use Bloglines but for no apparent reason it would sometimes fail to receive feeds from some blog or other for days or longer. Google for some reason I don’t understand has a tendency to get the feeds hours late, but it always gets them.

Yondalla, I have the same issues. Bloglines sometimes threw things but google always gets them — often late.
