I am having technical difficulties with this blog--bummer! So hold tight until I figure it out! It is maddening and so far a bumpy sort of thing, but I'll unwind it eventually. Thanks for understanding.

Woeful Workshop Wednesday

This is the best advice I have gotten on revising so far. So thanks to http://www.kidlit.com/ for the heads up! So here is the post. Feast your eyes upon it:

This came from brilliant YA author Laurie Halse Anderson’s Twitter yesterday, and I agree wholeheartedly:

Tinker With Tools Tuesday

The perfect word for the week condisering Easter is upon us:

Hagiology (n)

"Hint: Hagiology has more in common with with myths and magic than superannuated sylphs or testy troglodytes. To be more specific, it is literature that narrates the lives and legends of saints and venerated holy people or, ephemeral events of a supernatural nature."--squidoo.com-- weird words

Although, some may consider the Christian belief that Christ was resurrected on the third day after his crucifiction to be similar to the supernatural and impossible, me and my family know it truly happened. It is a part of our faith and testimony and not part of a hagiology.

Hagiology- Noun
1. literature narrating the lives (and legends) of the saints
literary composition, literary work - imaginative or creative writing
legend, fable - a story about mythical or supernatural beings or events
