Wanted:

Several trustworthy, witty authors to guest post on a blog during the Month of November.  Preferably with current blogs, and Christians, but not required.  Must be capable of writing clean, entertaining posts.  If you are interested in said position, please contact Blog owner at email address at bottom of the post. 

As some of you know, I'm participating in NaNoWriMo this November.  I'm trying to cut out distractions, and that include Cheery-O. Yet, I highly doubt I could deal with the grief of my poor little blog sitting empty and un updated for a whole month.  So, I'm reaching my hands out, and asking for guest posters who wont be occupied with NaNoWriMo.  I'd like at least 5, but of course, I'm not against more. ^.^ In fact, the more the merrier. 
Not only is it good advertisement for your blog, but also, its a great opportunity to write random posts that you've had floating around your head, but don't have time to cram into your own blog.
So, if you are interested, you may contact me at:

Godsforlife AT gmail DOT com

It would be nice if you had a basic idea of what you'd like to post, but its certainly not required. 

Smiles, hugs, and butterfly kisses,

I'm going to be sick of my inspirational music come December,

I leave you with a totally random picture up there,

Ashley.

Handwritting // Inspired by Laura (and annoucement)

Laura over at 'Pens and Camera Lens' (She has a really cute blog, you should check it out!) did a post about handwritting, and gave a few picture samples of her own.  Me, being the blogger who has sorta left her poor bloggy in the cold, and needed something to actually SAY (Despite the huge announcement at the bottom of this post..), thought, "Thats a cool idea! I should take it, and modify it!" Sorry Laura, if you consider that stealing....

 My cursive.  Not overly impressive, huh?  I enjoy writing in cursive, but sadly, just don't do it (I think fast, and write cursive slow.  I end up messing sentences up) unless I am signing something.

 My normal handwriting.  See how i loop my 'Y' tails? I never to capitol Ys, they are just boring.  I always do the lower case with a loopy tail.  And, you can't see it, but more often then not, I heart the dot on an exclamation point. But never a question mark.  Don't ask why, for I myself have no answer for that question...

  Blogger, you know just how annoying you can be? Why? Why must you make this go sideways?  I apologize folks.  Maybe I should threaten blogger...maybe I should move to Wordpress...
ANYWAY, if you tilt your head, you can see what my Hand writing looks like when I am very careful.  Notice, I still loop my Y tail. 

And, this.  Betcha most of you can't read it.  Shall I decode it?
"In Sleep he Sang to Me..."  It is Redwallian.    You wont understand unless you have read 'Taggerung' by Brian Jacques.   I write in my journal in Redwallian, since no one in my family (but myself) can read it.
I like to keep my Diary thoughts personal, thank you.

I enjoy writing letters, but here recently, I haven't had any body to write to.  Actually, it got pretty desperate.  I started writing letters to Seven of Nine, Tom Paris, Dr. Crusher, and Captain Picard.  No, you may NOT read them.  Each letter is now destroyed.

But, in February, Marian contacted me, and asked if I wanted to exchange letters.  I was overjoyed!
And then, after doing her Guest Post on here, Lindsay asked to write each other!  My parents let me decide whether I'd like to write to her, and how could I say no?  So now I have two lovely gals to write to!

Now, for the BIG announcement.  I told you I would tell you readers when I got Avalyn up and running..and it is!!
