Five Things I'm Looking Forward To....
I found some year long challenge, and I am already doing another one on a different website. Needless to say, I'm never doing that again lol. It started off as fun, and it's still fun at times, but then other times it feels like a chore. Sooo, I am using t
Ongoing Writing Challenges at Persona Paper
For those members who have recently joined and become active, I thought I would alert you to three different writing challenges here at Persona Paper. The challenges are ongoing and intended to provide writing prompts, camaraderie and fun if you care to pa
Taking Stock of Progress
We've just gotten past the halfway point in the month, so I thought I would take a look at where I'm at with &DawnWriter's A-W Category Challenge. I had said I wanted to get through all thirty-six categories – from Animals to Writing – duri
Anime as a Teaching Tool

I still need to write a personal post for &Dawnwriter's A-W Category Challenge, so I thought I would write about a milestone I reached quietly this week. In fact, it happened when I wasn't even looking! I think it sort of crept up on me overnight whil
Monster Energy Drink Makes the Devil Laugh?
Have you heard that Monster energy drinks make the devil laugh? So says a viral video in which a simple soul instructs the public that the Monster logo looks like the Hebrew letter vav (equivalent to the number 6) chained together thrice. Yes, says the wom
Preliminary Review of Tsu
Tsu is a very new social networking web site that has already started to create competition for established sites like Facebook. Visually, it looks a lot like Facebook. It also offers many of the same features as Facebook, but with a few twists. The main t
Does Syngenta Have a Monopoly on Brown Tomatoes?
My friend Rachel Lovejoy recently wrote about her experience buying a type of brown tomato, called the Kumato. She describes them as juicy, sweeter than the average red tomato, and a little bit smoky in flavour. They sound really yummy! I am very excited
Fun With French: From Cabbages to Owls
My oldest daughter MamaOzzy is learning French using an app called DuoLingo. When she's practising, she often asks me to verify her pronunciation. I've started to speak to her more in French throughout the day, and of course to praise her on her learning.
Let's Talk About Art: Double Dipping On Challenges
I have been challenged by &tinamarie to write about Art for the #TwoferChallenge and since I've just been to a student-teacher conference with MamaOzzy's art teacher, this is actually a subject for which I have a bit of inspiration this week. Lucky me!
Twofer Writing Challenge
There's a really awesome writing challenge that I came upon at Bubblews and I thought it would be fun to bring it over here to spur on some content production. It's a sort of on-demand writing challenge, whereupon those who want to participate stand forth

&Dawnwriter has invited all of us at Persona Paper to take part in an A-W Category Challenge. The idea is to go through each of the post topic categories one at a time, from Animals through Writing, and publish one post for each of them. Many of us do
