Did I ever mention, that years ago I wrote a free newsletter when I was homeschooling? I also belonged to a writer's club. Well, kids moved on, and we moved. Anyway, it was one page, front and back, titled "Teabag Tidbits."
I will have to dig one out, as I will be looking at my stories hopefully today. I had so much fun writing the newsletter. I would copy it and put it in libraries where they had a place to put them.

It's day two of National Novel Writing Month. Over the years I lost my mojo. I'm digging out old stories I wrote too. Should be interesting. Not sure I will do it this year, but it's day 3 now.
I loved to hand write letters too. I used to correspond with my Aunt. We'd send a letter, sometimes a surprise box and other fun snail mail. She passed away, I no longer had letters to send. No fun snail mail. No surprises for her grandkids.
She would send me teabags. I would send her jars of jam/jelly. She'd send the jars back filled with goodies. She'd mail me her hand written recipes, and I would send her something hand crocheted or other surprise. I do miss those days a lot.
Anyway, once in a while I will post a "Teabag Tidbits" post, with my latest teabag saying. Today it got me thinking about my passion to write. My laptop broke down a long time ago. I just haven't had the motivation to spend the cash for a new one, since all the kids are out of school, and we don't fight over the desktop computer.
I remember a website that was called something like "write on" and I won a contest. I can't remember what I won, but that was fun to do too.
Today's economy is forcing so many print publications to go out of business (or go online with a fee). I do miss my library for research, and I don't see that happening for many months to years at this point.
Back to writing, I am looking forward to reading through some work, but it will be limited, so I can still be caught up with the house, splitting wood (parts for the chainsaw are to arrive today), and other stuff.
