I’ve been relegating my writing efforts to a.) my creative nonfiction manuscript, b.) crafting resumes in pursuit of employment, and c.) drafting my MFA application stuff.  I am not sure if / when the blogging will continue.  For now, I would say that the yetispeak… is in an “inactive” status–until further notice.  In the past…

Thought I’d give this wordpress tool a spin around the block to see if it would meet my needs.  Other than a bug with the sidebar, so far it’s working pretty well.  If I’d known it was this robust I would have converted to it a while ago.

"I've fallen and I can't get up." Clarification: This post was in reference to the fact that this blog has been limping along lately and is in need of emergency assistance.  The quote was an allusion to this commercial for LifeLine from the 80s.  (It's pretty dark humor I know.)

Sorry for the lack of posts lately.  It’s a bit trickier now that we do not have an Internet connection in the home we happen to be eating, sleeping, "living" in.  I have noticed my hit counts dropping and dropping every week which is a bit depressing, but what can I do? Soon enough I’ll…

In all the hub-bub I’ve had going on lately, I forgot to mention that I have been blogging for (count’em) FOUR YEARS now!  Yeah, crazy, I know.  I guess time flies when you’re having fun.  This blog is almost as old as Sarah.  Not sure what the next four years will hold, but at least…

I’ve been really lax in responding to comments on the blog these last few months.  Hope no one has taken it personally.  It’s pretty lame because I do ENJOY receiving comments.  So, to rectify this situation I just went back and REPLIED to as many of the comments as I could over the past few…

Well, after four years of blogging, I finally got the perfect tagline.  This is the quote that will forever be enshrined somewhere on the yetispeak blog page.  And to think I didn’t even have to bribe my friend, Rick, into making this comment.  And I quote:"yetispeak is the GREATEST WEBSITE IN THE HISTORY OF THE…
