One Square Window

I'm spring cleaning the blog with a new look.  You don't notice anything?  Right.  Well...  I'm working on it and it's s-l-o-w because the boy wants me to play with trucks, people still insist on eating around here and I don't really know what I'm doing.  I was waiting for the new space to write about another new space but this is just getting silly, this waiting, so:

Megan (from the scent of water) and I are writing on One Square Window... just to write.  When you love to write but aren't _____ (all alone, independently wealthy, living in seclusion with a laptop and a publisher waiting with bated breath for your manuscript), I think the trick might be to _____ (create opportunities for yourself to write, rope someone in from around the world to write with you).  It strengthens your writing muscles and it helps you breathe.  I think the space will grow and change; it's organic.  One Square Window.  All of the windows around here are totally dirty, by the way, so I'm going to test out the vinegar/water/newspaper approach and spring clean my real world too.

One Square Window? How cool is that? I'll be peeping in your window every now and then. My friends and I couldn't do that because we are essentially evil and would end up offending lots of people. (ya, speaking of bad blogging..)
My mom did the vinegar water newspaper thing for years...it works. Use elbow grease. I don't do windows, personally. I wait until my mom comes over.

Hi Beth! I'm so excited to read more of your writing in your new space - I have always admired your writing - you're so very gifted with words! And the collaboration and delivery style via letters back and forth is such a neat idea! Camille

I'll definitely check that little window for my daily word needs!

Linked to One Square Window from your blog and Scent of Water --- thanks to both. It is a great collaboration and inspiration...thanks for opening the window (clean or smudgy ok with me).

I just discovered your blog. It is lovely! Where do you live? It looks like it might be around the same latitude as me. I'm a Mainer (it is snowing as I type!).
