What are we talking about today?

I'll get back to theme days once I find a groove of posting regularly. In the meantime, most of my posts are about some variation of books, bikes, buses, or Broadway. Plus bits about writing, nonprofits, and grief from time to time.

This blog is mostly lighthearted and pretty silly. It's not about the terrible things happening in the world, but please know that I'm not ignoring those things. I just generally don't write about them here.

Third Time's a Charm

This, my friends, is why I should never bother saying "I'm not gonna." It never ends the way I thought it would.

Rachel Harrie is running her platform-building campaign (previously called a crusade) for the third time. I was going to sit this one out, what with uni and me probably not having time to write much in between all the other stuff I managed to cram into my schedule this semester.

Over the summer I was on a wait list for a Fiction Writing class, and since on Tuesday night (the eve of the new semester) I still hadn't gotten in, I gave up on it and prepared myself to enjoy my alternative class. You all see where this is going... Before I left for class on Wednesday, I checked my schedule for the final time only to discover that some crazy person had dropped the class overnight, leaving room for me. Ta-daa! So glad I checked before heading to campus! So, it turns out I'll be writing this semester after all. And so, I'm throwing in my hat for the campaign.

Here goes! Let's all have fun together, shall we?

Are you a campaigner? If not, head over to Rach's blog and see what all the fuss is about!

I'm laughing, just so you know. I remember when you told me you weren't joining in, I thought "That's a shame. I don't know how she can resist." And here you are!

I'm glad you got into the fiction writing class! I hope you share anything interesting with the rest of us :)

Grr, Blogger ate my comments. Trying again...

@JE: Yes, you are so right. That's what I get for broadcasting my intentions before I had decided them! And I hope I manage to write stuff worth sharing.

@Trish: Hey, if we're going to be groovy, pass the tie-dye!

@erica: Yeah, you are. Sheesh!

Hi, I'm a fellow campaigner. Your blog wonderful. I love the "Today I Am Grateful For:" gadget. Very cool. Do you mind if I use this idea?

Su said...

@elena: Hello to you!

@Kimberly: I don't mind at all! There are quite a few of us doing it now, actually.

Way to cave in and hang with us! I also like your 'I'm greatful for' gaget.

Su said...

Thanks! Like I said, I don't know why I bother declaring one way or another, about anything, ever. I always change my mind a dozen times!

Trisha said...

I did the last one, and couldn't resist this one! We're in Adult Fiction together!
