🔎 Do You See My Writing Books in the Corner?👆There they are: my two writing workbooks . . . peeking out of the corner on the left-hand side of this image. Bear with me, friends, because I'm in way "over my head."My digital study guides and lapbooks...
Here is the text from today’s newsletter/email that I just sent out. Most of the time I remember to copy and paste it here, but sometimes I forget. To keep up with everything, you might want to join my email list: https://sendfox.com/circlecbooks Kee...
I wanted to start out with our Bible verse for the month of June. I love this verse, and I learned it long ago in a . . . song. Scripture songs are absolutely the very best way to memorize Scripture. Sometimes the words differ a bit from the translat...
FLASH FICTION (and) LOOK-A-LIKE CONTESTNothing's ever easy! If you will believe this, most of the responses to the Contest Survey a couple weeks ago ended up with voting straight down the middle (like 50% vs. 46%) for every question I asked except on...
Yep, I’m just copying and pasting the newsletter right here. It’s sunny and my garden is calling my name, so I’m headed outdoors. But I wanted to post this month’s What Am I and also share who won the April Flash Fiction Story prompt (and received a...
Guess this mystery object for a chance to win a pair of cute horse socks and a Circle C mini-flashlight keychain . . . or the ever-popular gold/fool's gold combo (especially for Goldtown readers, but Circle C fans can choose it too). Giveaway runs Tu...
YOU REQUESTED MORE STORIES . . . . . . and I heard you. 80% of survey responses asked for more Circle C stories. I wrote this short story about Andi's brothers Justin and Chad fifteen years ago. It enjoyed a brief stay in an old Circle C short-story...
Okay, this is a different kind of blog post. I’m giving a shout-out to my email newsletter. It has an opportunity for me to think of fun prizes that keep adding up (in other words, you can earn them ALL) and there is no limit to the number of people...
Don’t get your hopes up TOO HIGH. This is not the Summer Writing Contest, but maybe you might like the “pre-pre” for practice? Once a month (or every other month), I’m going to offer a mini-story writing contest (1,000 words or less) in response to a...
Here are the Winners! Survey winners: HORSE-RELATED WINNER: Rebekah B. GOLD-RUSH-RELATED WINNER: Adeline I LOVED all of the responses and shared the results in next week’s newsletter. If you are a subscriber, you can see the results in the email that...
I don’t want Jenny to look too “old,” but I like her dreamy expression in the first image. Which do you prefer? (Not that Kregel will use them anyway, but it’s fun to create just for fun!) Or . . . does she look young enough in #1 and I should keep t...
Maybe you thought this was another Jenny Grant cover. Nope, I will not burden you with yet another idea. You guys pretty much told me what you liked and I am satisfied and happy with your results. We’ll see what Kregel says. In the meantime . . . my...
Somebody really needs to tell me to GET BACK TO WRITING. I have finished chapter 12 of book 2 but it’s much more fun to create covers. LOL Okay, so I “get it.” Everybody (pretty much) like the Zoomed out version. My daughter said Jenny looked like sh...
Okay, this is really random. I should be working on book 2, but I got on a “cover thing” yesterday. Now, remember, Kregel will probably not use exactly what I send them, but I want to send them something SO FUN that they might say, “Hey, we can’t get...
