Not sure what this was. Preserved plants in jars...but I missed the young lady's explanation.

Songs of the Escalade. All of these photos are of the commemoration festivities of the Escalade, an event that took place in 1602 -- enemies of the city were beaten off the walls and their invasion foiled. Boiling soup was poured on their heads!

Every day, in every light, they look different. Save for the fact that they always look like something out of an ancient story. I'm always taking photographs!
The current run of ROW80 has ended and a new round has begun, to run until 26 March. Eighty days of writing and other goals. For now I'm going to stay vague. I'd like to get some editing done, and maybe send a few more submissions to agents. I'd also like to finish the current crop of Alfred Russel Wallace correspondence transcriptions!
What are your newest goals?

Your Alfred Russel Wallace correspondence must be interesting .. but rather like a never ending scroll ...
Good luck with all things - cheers Hilary
Happy new year!
Good luck with the new ROW80 project.

This year, I'm going to face the greatest challenge making writing time. I'll be student teaching and taking 2 classes instead of 1. On top of working, my family, and my Vine Leaves Literary journal duties, I'll be busier than ever.
Good luck achieving your goals, Deniz.
Here's to an epic 2015! I'll be welcoming a new baby into the world, and hopefully surviving. ;)
The Escalade looks like an interesting event. I don't believe I've ever been to a historical recreation like that, not counting museums and historic houses.
Happy 2015!!!!
LOVELY PICS!!!!! Tha alps are truly majestic and stunning. I would always be taking pics too if I lived in Switzerland....
Hope all is well! ALL the best for this year and good luck on the querying!
Enjoy 2015 and I hope it brings you all the best there is!
My hopes (I don't like resolutions) this year is for me to query, query, query. And possibly to sell my poor homeless book.
I didn't get any mulled wine this season. I suppose you didn't either... :)
Ah well, next year!

I miss ROW80. It taught me about discipline and making and meeting goals, and I do carry that with me still.
Good luck querying.
I've been doing a ton of editing and have started a 'chick-lit' novel set in Paris. The research is delicious.
Happy New Year!
Denise :-)
Ooh, good luck with your projects, Theresa.
Can I come research with you, Denise?
Congratulations, Crystal!
