There was a time in the past when I used to blog daily — but never at my own website(s). I did this for clients’ websites, but not for my own.


Looking back at my past mistakes (which are numerous!), I can say that that failing to maintain my own blog was one of them. I’m much like the proverbial cobbler who had no shoes and the proverbial doctor whose children were chronically sick.


I’m the freelance writer whose blog has nothing but out-of-date posts in it.


Yikes!


Okay, so let’s fix that.


Years ago, when I was living aboard a sailboat and cruising the Mediterranean Sea, I attempted to write daily blog posts using a “today in review” format.


That didn’t work out for the long term because, at the time, I didn’t have reliable internet access and therefore couldn’t publish the posts daily.


I don’t know if it’ll work out this time around, either. But I think trying it is better than not trying it. So, here goes.

Lately, I’ve Been Working on…

…crocheted fingerless gloves. I have some new patterns in the works that I hope to share soon. Please stay tuned for details!

I’ve also been working on updating older fingerless glove patterns that could really use improvements.


I'm working on updating and improving this free crochet pattern for crocheted fingerless gloves. Please drop me a comment if you want to help me test updated sizes of this pattern!

My Plan for Today

Today, my major goal is to continue working on copywriting projects for my husband, Mike’s, tech startup.


As I write this, it is about 8:30 a.m.; I’ve been up since 4:30 a.m., and I already spent a couple of hours working on that project.


I also spent a couple of hours updating stuff at my craft website.


I’m posting this early because I doubt I’ll get back to blogging at any point after we eat breakfast.

So Far Today, I Published…

Today I Updated…

this page at KnittingCrochetCrafts.com about Stamperia, which is one of my favorite manufacturers of craft supplies.

Today I Thought About (And Read About)…

…all the problems with customer relationship management (CRM) software.

Today I Learned…

…too much to convey in the brief amount of time I have to write this blog post…


but, to summarize briefly, I made a start at learning about where CRM software needs improvements. I was specifically hoping to learn more about this in the context of real estate transactions.

That’s it for now.


Thanks for dropping by my blog today! I appreciate your interest.
