Pay Yourself First

If you’ve read any personal finance books, you’ve probably come across the phrase, “Pay yourself first.” The rationale behind this advice is that if you wait until all your bills have been paid (and you’ve done all your shopping) to put money into a savings or investment account, there may be nothing left. But if […]

Writerland Pledge Drive

In addition to my regularly scheduled post this week, I’d like to announce the first ever Writerland Pledge Drive! Just like on NPR, we at Writerland need to interrupt our regularly scheduled posts now and then to ask our readers to donate in order to keep Writerland alive. Writerland does not accept cash, checks, or […]

Blogger’s Guide to (Un)happiness

I have a guest post over at Sierra’s blog today. Check it out!

Momming and Writing

If you’re like me and you’re trying to do it all, you may find yourself sneaking into the corner of the kitchen to scarf down a chocolate chip cookie or sip a glass of wine now and then to keep your energy up and your sanity intact. That “all” may include picking up toys and […]

Apologies

I am horrified to have just discovered that I had 25 unapproved comments in my Admin folder (only three of them spam)—many from writer friends an bloggers whose blogs I frequent. I rely on WordPress to notify me when someone has commented, and when a comment in pending approval, but somehow it hasn’t been doing […]

It wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without a thankful post! We’re all so busy striving, striving, striving to achieve more, have more, do more, be more that we sometimes forget to appreciate what we have. So today I’m going to share a few things in my life that I’m grateful for. I am grateful for my baby […]

For all you people who are more blog savvy than I am: How do I get my picture to show up next to comments when I choose Name/URL as my identity instead of my Google Account? Anyone using WordPress.org software know?

Blogging Blues

I keep not wanting to write the “why I’m not blogging” post, but here goes. I am CRAZY tired lately! My 10-month-old is going through some kind of growth spurt or teething or revenge-on-Mommy for not letting her have unlimited Cheerios and is getting up two to three times a night. Last night she was […]

The winner of this month’s Writerland contest is …

KRISTAN!

Kristan, e-mail me your address and to whom you’d like the book addressed (Kristan, Kristan the Magnificent, etc.) to meghan (at) meghanward (dot) com. Then, whenever you’re ready, send me 20 pages of your manuscript or a short story, and I will critique it and […]

Blog Awards

When I received my first blog award from Sierra, I wasn’t sure what to make of it. The Blogo-Rama-Dingdong Award? Should I be excited about that? Fortunately, Sierra didn’t require me to pass it on to other bloggers or to post it on my own blog. Then two weeks ago, I received a second blog […]
