More Changes

Many articles about blogging say that the writer(s) ought to stay on ONE subject and posts must relate to that main topic.

With this in mind, I took many entries off and saved them as drafts. I intend to edit and/or rewrite some posts. Others may appear on a new blog -- name to be decided later. Please understand that a few items must be deleted.

Jewel's Jobs

I've decided to list links to writing related jobs. There are a few on the left. But, I plan to put more on a web page. These are just links to job sites, not individual jobs, but I'm hoping that one or more of these links help someone obtain a writing related job.

I've Been Published

Yes, a site other than my own has published my writing. I am now the "Evansville Pets Examiner" for Examiner.com. The site "Examiner.com" is an online news source and I decided to apply for one of the Evansville, Indiana openings. I live in Owensboro, Kentucky and I chose to write about pets because I'm a Pet Sitter and a lifetime pet lover. Check out the link above to read and perhaps comment on the articles I've written so far.

My Domain

When I registered for a domain, I didn't realize how much "room" that included. But here is a beginning page called "Writer's Corner."

Comment About Lynard Skynard

Today, I decided to research Lynard Skynard, #1 or #2 of my favorite rock groups. I wrote the following on www.sunshineguestbooks.com/guestbook.php?id=nashvillepa
a memorial page about the band and the plane crash that killed 2 or 3 members of the group.

Message	:	Terrific memorial. I fell in love with Lynard Skynard in 1978, in late April or early May. I was in Louisville, KY at a hotel I don't even remember the name of. But, there must have been a talent contest because an awesome band played, "Sweet Home Alabama." The song and deep bass rocked my very soul. Because I was raised with country and gospel music, I think this was the first ROCK song I saw being played on a stage. I know most people think of "Freebird" when they remember Lynard Skynard. But, for me, "Sweet Home Alabama" will always be my rock anthem. It wasn't until much later that I found out about the plane crash. I often wish that I could just go to Alabama and see the area(s) they sing about, and then find Ronnie's grave and lay some flowers on it.

Custom Domain

Hey, blog readers. Today, I decided to buy a custom domain. Through Google (and GoDaddy), it only costs $10 a year. My new URL is www.jewelswriting.com . Don't worry about remembering that, though, because you will be, or already have been switched automatically.

Jewel out.

Changes

Today, I got on here and edited a couple of my posts. I also put the Links in a different order.

Storyarts - Prompt One

An object that can be . . . held in your hands.

It's a rather old book, but still in decent shape. The cover feels a little rough and some of its pages have been written on. The story inside was one of my son's favorites when he was little. I read it to him over and over again.

Back Again

Hi, I'm back again. Today or tomorrow, I'm going to start including my writings for Critter Care (my pet sitting business) and Storyarts.

If you don't know about Storyarts, it's a free six-week online writing workshop. You can check it out at

New to Blogging

Hello, I'm new to blogging and it may take a long time for me to make this blog good. Don't despair; I promise to post entries about writing and related subjects.
