As per the note left on my Day 1 post that was originally supposed to encompass the entire 3 day Labour Day weekend, I am now moving to doing three posts about the experience. I am writing enough to do three posts so why not? It keeps it more manageable for readers.
This post will expand as the day goes on. I will update last time of update on the first line as updates beyond the first one take place.
End of Saturday note:
I blogged far more than I ever thought I would to document my 3-Day Novel Contest so I will make this post into three posts, one for each day of the contest. During each day, I will “grow” each post, adding notes as I go. Hey, adaptation and flexibility is part of this contest. Why not the blog posts that accompany it? This is the link to the Day 2 post. Below was the start of this post.
In a few minutes at time of writing this sentence on Friday night before the Labour Day weekend, I will start the 3-Day Novel Contest. I want to document some of that experience, and share it while doing so for anybody who cares. However, I don’t want to overwhelm my followers with a whole bunch of microblogging style posts. As a result, I’ll just “grow” this post as this weekend goes along. Anybody who cares to see how things are going can revisit this post at their convenience and see. Thank you!
May the Fourth, or Star Wars Day (from the pun May the Force be with you), just passed as I write this. But what if you missed it, didn’t celebrate it, or didn’t have enough fun?
Well, I’ve got the perfect second chance day for that!
Welcome to May the Sixth, punning on that most evil of Star Wars organizations, the Sith!
If you missed May the Fourth, shame on you! You deserve a Sith coming your way!
If you didn’t celebrate May the Fourth, really shame on you! You deserve a Sith Lord and then some!
And if you didn’t have enough fun, here’s your chance to have some more fun! I got some little graphics below for you to start and share.
Enjoy and May the Sixth be with you! 😉
I’m Vietnamese born and I live in Canada. Somehow the ruling Progressive Conservatives knew that and my email, sending me a statement today from Minister Jason Kenney on the Journey to Freedom Day Act that just got Royal Assent (passed) on Friday, April 24th, 2015. It commemorates the many Vietnamese “boat” people refugees Canada has welcomed since the end of the Viet Nam War.
The statement, attached below, says “thousands” of Vietnamese boat people but they could have added “tens of”. Canada welcomed a LOT of us! Thank you, Canada! We hope we have contributed more than what you expected of us to allow us to be a part of your great country!
Oh, by the way, while it may be popular to spell Vietnam as one word in English, we use the same alphabets and wording system as English, and the country name is two words in Vietnamese. 🙂
Live each day like it were your last,
And it soon will be
