Wednesday, January 21, 2015. It's been 21 days since I started working on my cozy mystery, and I'm happy to report that I am making progress as promised! Links to this post. Tuesday, January 20, 2015. Social Media, Blogging, and Moving. In the process of preparing for our move to an independent living facility, my husband found this video which was recorded on a CD and subsequently misplaced. I thought I had lost it.

Cindy Downes: May 2014
http://cindydownes.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 30, 2014. I just purchased this book from Amazon and had to share it with those of you who teach writing classes. The book is called, Mentor Texts: Teaching Writing Through Children's Literature, K-6. By Lynne R. Dorfman and Rose Cappelli. It was published in 2007, so it's been around awhile; but, in case you missed it, here's a short review. After we read the book and saw how the authors used alliteration to tell a story, I had the children create their own story using alliteration. Last fal...

Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. The Tsar’s Guard Parade. April 1, 2016. I’m very honored to be a part of the Tsar’s Guard and to be participating in the Tsar’s Guard parade, spreading the word about the upcoming sensation, THE CROWN’S GAME by the amazing Evelyn Skye! Guys, I’ve totally read this book. Okay That’s not true. April Fools, hilarious. I figured that since I got the luck of the draw at getting this day, I should try to do something, no matter how lame. And so he initiates t...

Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. March 31, 2016. So I’m having a bunch of stupid stuff going on my my life with now. Some of it is health related for me. Some is health related for family. One is health related for a far-away friend, which is resulting in me not getting to talk to this friend. That’s super stressful in itself, really. In other news, I decided to listen to the soundtrack for. February 10, 2016. So It’s February. Cold and wind and ick, right? But then…I went for my...

Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. Category Archives: On Writing. I have arrived, world. July 6, 2016. I was interviewed for a blog a while back, and it went live today. Writer Wednesday Interview with Regina Garvie. I think I sound reasonably competent in it, which I am extremely grateful for. But how bizarre is it that I have accomplished enough in my writing career to even be interviewed about it? Surely there’s been some mistake, right? The Tsar’s Guard Parade. April 1, 2016. I’...

Cindy Downes: Dirty Rats!
http://cindydownes.blogspot.com/2015/03/dirty-rats.html
Thursday, March 5, 2015. Do you have a student who's working on a science report and needs fun, interesting information? Or, do you have a child who doesn’t like to read? If so, Dirty Rats? By Darrin Lunde and illustrated by Adam Gustavson might be the answer! Second: the text. The text is simple, yet chock full of interesting facts.

Sunday, February 2, 2014. Did I tell you that I got a dog? I've always been a cat person. Since the time I got married in 1970 until now, we've always had cats. (I did have one dog, but it was when I had little babies and I honestly don't remember "having" a dog.) We always had a pair of cats, at a minimum. Sometimes, we had three! He didn't like me and I have trouble liking him. I finally got mad and decided to go out and get a 3rd cat just for me. I am now a converted dog lover! Links to this post.
