Pen in Hand ~ Letter Writing




Although I have tried, and I am trying, I simply get side-winded and do everything but write.  Today I spent more time in my e-mail than anything else.   And I (gulp) am guilty of handcrafting this necklace for myself.  Cute right? It's the keyboard of an old-fashioned typewriter.


It's tough t
o stay focused on writing, when I know I need to vacuum, sweep, dust or do laundry.  I mean, really.  Not to mention can pears, prepare meals, pay bills, and care for animals.  Maybe I should set up a desk in the barn, ha ha!


. . .planning out an "author" Web-site for myself, but to do that I need a published book of some sort.  Maybe I can use it to chart my progress.

. . .still working on National Novel Writing Month

. . .starting my days out, by reading out loud, to inspire my writing process.  Sounds silly, but I learned it really works.

. . . got two more letters written and in the mail. 

. . . organizing my desk this next week, and getting my mojo back in action.

. . . making some journal entries in my stack of journals (the journal junkie that I am).

. . . a good coat of dark, fall inspired nail polish is due.  It's a bit of a motivator for my sore hands for typing or handwriting.

Question

  I have asked this before, but I know I follow a few writers who have written (and published) novels.  What is the best free or best least expensive (simple like Word) writing software to use that is not Google Docs? Thanks! I'll be back with an update soon I hope.  But I do appreciate your help, because I cannot find the information some of you suggested.

Horsetail Salve ~ A "first" this Year

We purchased some horsetail salve to try last year.  It is said to help with severely dry, cracked skin.  My husband was the first to try it, with very, very dry and cracked hands from work. He loves it!  He joked I could not have it back.   I started the infused, horsetail oil the last part of March. Something I learned:   horsetail is also called shavegrass. I infused horsetail in oil, and strained it.  I then made horsetail salve.  I remembered to label my jar with what oil(s) I used, so I can journal this all in my "Herbal Remedies" journal.  I often forget to write the oil used. Now, the one we bought, has more in it than I put in ours, as far as ingredients (the purchased salve had lanolin, and aloe).  We'll see if ours works just as good.  I added the sage essential oil, and vitamin E oil. A "first" time experience for us this year.    I bought the larger tins at a seed store in an Amish area last year.  They a...

Chit Chat

  The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with.  I made a salad and cleaned the beans.  The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so.  The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season. I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract.  It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling.   I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time.  Update soon.   Chit Chat ©  August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart
