Since I am primarily a writer, I decided to include a poem with my art. You can read my poetry post here. Of course, I had to hide it where kids could find out more about turtles. I am excited for someon to discover it.   Continue reading Art Drop Day 2017

September Writing Goals

Rebecca Herzog

Another busy month has come and gone. Things were especially hectic with school starting back up for my daughter, and my husband teaching again this semester. We’re starting to get into the groove though, so that is good. Before I do my usual recap, here are a few highlights from August that weren’t originally listed in my goals for the month I submitted two poems to some children’s magazines I applied to be a Cybils judge I joined NetGalley so I can start receiving and reviewing ARC (advance reader copies of books) I didn’t do too bad on my August … Continue reading September Writing Goals
