I can now allow myself to purchase more fiction! I cleaned out the closet part of my dresser a little bit over the weekend and rearranged my bookcases. (Sorry no before pictures.)

Writing
This is more editing than actual writing, but.....this weekend, I was finally able to figure out why that essay about an experience I had 6 years ago never felt quite right. I was writing for the wrong audience! Instead of intending it to be submitted to The Briar Cliff Review, I wrote it with the intent to submit it to the Ensign. Came out much better, although still in need of some work.
In cleaning, I rediscovered something my dad sent me. His grandmother's cousin wrote her life's story in about 36,000 words. She was born and raised in Sioux City, so I've decided to abridge it and submit that to the BCR for their Siouxland section. (There's a lot of personal reaction to historical data in there.) That was something started on impulse because if I had thought about the repercussions of such an undertaking, I would have put it off until I wasn't feeling so busy.
After I'm through with my version, I'm going to talk to my dad about getting permission to submit at least the Siouxland parts.
