We had two birthdays this month, Jan 2 and 3 so they do add to the activities.<br /><br />I honestly don't see how people with children at home find the time to write. It must take a lot of organization. That word again. :)<br /><br />Thanks for the infor about Excel. I might try it. Usually I post on 3x5 cards, but thought I'd try something different for my latest.Beverly Stowe McClurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02176195451841801819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874501477620914375.post-62827431178477482812011-01-05T14:07:08.891-05:002011-01-05T14:07:08.891-05:00I'm usually the queen of organization.

I'll probably take it down this weekend or next. I'm pretty slow about taking the holiday stuff down. Then my birthday comes towards the end of this month so it seems like there's always something going on.<br /><br />For my submissions I use Excel spreadsheet. I list the dates I submit, to whom, if it's rejected or accepted, and the dates. This helps so I don't query the same agent/editor more than once. I also put down if I got a form 'no' or a personal one. It's interesting to see the patterns.Kim Baccelliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05304806976633973536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874501477620914375.post-14834333651953165472011-01-05T12:24:18.905-05:002011-01-05T12:24:18.905-05:00:) Darby.

That's Twelfth Night and a family tradition marks that as the final day of Christmas. There will be two lone stockings waiting for those who didn't risk the blizzard to come the day after Christmas. Those won't be put away until they arrive to open them. Fortunately they're too old to believe in Santa. Like you I think a bit or organizing could help. I started to do this last year and maybe this year will see a few more bits of clutter gone.Janet Lane Waltershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15488093917556546485noreply@blogger.com
