Goal

I commit to writing at least 3 posts on my blog http://foodcraftaustin.blogspot.com/) each week for the next 8 weeks. With one bonus post, that makes 25 posts before April 13th. I've got enough material, but apparently not enough motivation when it gets down to it.

An additional goal is that I'll have 10 pages of my cookbook written in time to submit them on March 6th to the Writers' League of Texas' 2009 Manuscript Contest in the "Narrative Nonfiction" group. As of February 18th, I've got three pages written, many more planned, but zero edited and finalized. No pressure.

I chose this goal because

I chose this goal for a variety of reasons. Many of my friends know of my love for food. Many others know how I love to write. Some of them know that I have a (somewhat atrophied) food blog. All of them know that I love children. If this attempt to blog helps any children, it will be worth it.

I'm helping because

I'm helping b/c Rob won't stop bugging me to do something. No, but seriously, I'm doing this for a selfish reason that I really want to build my food writing portfolio. I'm also doing this for the non-selfish reason of wanting to help kids. It's easy, we'll take donations of any size, and literally every penny counts.

About At The Crossroads

ATC walks the streets of San Francisco, reaching out to homeless youth and young adults on their turf. We work with young people who others have given up on, who would not get help without us. Since we started 13 years ago, we have worked with more than 5,000 youth, helping them build outstanding lives.

I've added some posts and some of my friends have commented on my posts (which almost counts as posting myself, I think). I added pictures to a lot of my past posts as well, and there's an ode to the glory that is the corndog. There's lots to look at. http://foodcraftaustin.blogspot.com/.

Just in under the wire....I posted my third blog post for the week this morning, so not really on Sunday, but hey. Only a few hours late.

This post is about some seriously tasty lemon garlic spaghetti I made this weekend. To quote the often annoying Rachel Ray, "Yum-O!"

I added a post about Shrove Tuesday, a tradition of which I was not aware until this past Tuesday (Shrove Tuesday/Pancake Day). In celebration of Pancake Day, I made dark chocolate/craisin buckwheat pancakes. Yum!

I also posted a note about the writing contest that I'm hoping to participate in...so keep your fingers crossed for me.

Enjoy.http://foodcraftaustin.blogspot.com/.

I posted again, but now the thing is that I'm not sure when my weeks for posting are actually beginning or ending. I started this campaign on Wednesday, but that's a weird time to start a week. I have, technically, posted three times since starting the campaign, though I don't know if my first post really counts.

All in all, I think my weeks will be counted Monday through Sunday. I'm not sure if that means I need to post just one more time tonight or if I should consider myself done for the week, but I think I'm safe either way. Enjoy. http://foodcraftaustin.blogspot.com/

Ok...two posts down. Does is matter if I'm front loading? Maybe not, since I don't really think the first post counts (as it was really just announcing this campaign).

All the same...2...or 1 down.
