The April Platform Challenge is winding down, but I have so much insight from this activity that I'm excited!
Aside from trying to write, I volunteer on the Board of a Senior Adults Centre, also head of the Marketing Committee there, volunteer at the local astronomy club, and volunteer with Citizens on Patrol, affiliated with our local Police.
There are tons of things to blog about and some days you won't know if you are on the correct site or not.
The thing is---that we will all learn from this experience (and will all be the better for it).

Trying to complete the #MNINB challenge, plus keeping up reading/writing commitments keeps me busy. NOT busy enough to generally set an alarm clock.
So, what's worse than a 5 a.m. alarm clock scaring hell out of you?
The answer is---my dog yakking all over the floor in the middle of the night!
Yes, it does tend to get your heart beating!

Reviewed a few Blogs yesterday and this morning. One really got to me!
Carol Tice writes blogs and articles for several sources. There is an article about earning income as a guest blogger. The details she shares drive home one thing---Do your homework!

OK, I know that I have heard it before---"it" being the idea that all great ideas are continually floating around the universe and at some point, decide to land in a receptive brain.
Not sure if I believe that or not, but then how do I explain a story idea that hits just before sunrise on any given day? Sure, that period of sleep may be more conducive to reception, or there is simply no time to forget the images.
It is kind of freaky/fun on those occasions when this happens. This morning I came down to my office and wrote some notes on index cards.
We'll see where this takes me!

Your Brand
Just read an interesting article on The Red Lemon Club about setting boundaries and keeping true to your brand. Intimidating, but probably easier in the earlier stages of a career as opposed to cleaning up some time in the future.
