Moving Day!
Not sure how much concentrated writing time I will get done this week, but after the packing, on Thursday I’ll be joining a workshop taught by Laura van den Berg (Finding Me, The Isle of Youth, What the World Will Look Like When All the Water Leaves Us) along with Connie May Fowler and Parneshia Jones for a long weekend. More about that later! So I will be writing, all week long.
So please check in and tell us what you’re up to. You could look at this, if you choose, as get-your-butt-in -the-chair-and-keep-moving-day. Let’s get it done–baxt (Good writing mojo, Romani style!)

/ October 5, 2015Could you be more specific about any sources for era-to-era economy? I’ve accumulated some info just googling for price comparisons and everyday life…Gahh, never thought all that coursework and experience in scientific
research would be used this way!

/ October 5, 2015Hi, Bobbie, you can find year-by-year data on consumer prices here: http://www.bls.gov/cpi/. The Labor Department has similar comparisons on wages. And Wikipedia has a great list of historical timelines where you can find dates of inventions, major car upgrades, and things like that.

/ October 5, 2015Going ahead w/o your weekly prompt–between your moving, dodging Joaquin, flooding, etc, I didn’t really expect one–anyhoo, my ache-y butt (my joints seem to overreact to barometric changes these days) is in the chair.
Going back today to edit and expand Randi’s earliest experience with ‘first-kiss’ Ken, then forward to their date. Randi will miss her parents’ curfew and be grounded, but then will reunion w/ BFF who’s been away all summer, and does Randi have a lot to tell her! And will she have some reactions!
