As many of you know, this is my second year participating in the annual WordCount Blogathon, wherein I will blog every day for the month of may, in the hopes that it will become an ingrained habit and not just something I think about doing in the wee hours of the night (when I am at my most clever, by the way; sadly, I never have the computer with me at the time).<\/p>\n
There are nearly 200 participants this year, and reading them all daily just isn’t possible. But I am trying to get through a good dozen or so every day. Periodically — because I can’t always be clever and pithy and despite what I said two days ago, don’t always have several books I’ve read in a row that relate to each other — I’ll include a link or two to one or more of the blogs I’ve found that move me, make me laugh or teach me something.<\/p>\n
Here are three:<\/p>\n
Never Another Diet<\/a> — a blog about the struggle to be healthy every day. In her words: “I’d had enough of censoring my thoughts and feelings by eating or not eating, so it was time to find out what eating, thoughts, and feelings actually were.”<\/p>\n Memoir, Writing and Life<\/a> — What it’s like to be a working writer and mom. I don’t agree with her post from May 3 that every writer worth her salt has a notebook. I make a living as a writer and keep scraps of paper, corner book and magazine pages, and keep web pages open until I use them or forget why I opened them up. Then again, maybe I can learn something from her…<\/p>\n
