Rebekah blogs

These socks are epic! No I didn't make them. I just like socks. And I like wearing green.

What? Rebekah's blogging again?
OMG!

Yeah... I figured 6 months of unannounced hiatus was enough. Plus, it wouldn't seem like NaNoWriMo without blogging about it.
That's right! It's that time of year again.
If you've ever enjoyed creative writing, I encourage you to visit nanowrimo.org and seriously consider what you've been missing out on. It's a ton of fun even if, like me, you never plan to do anything with your novel after you draft it.

This year, My main character is a teddy bear who serves as a source of comfort and wisdom to a ten-year-old girl named Katie. Here's a picture:

Here's where you come in. Neither the bear in the story nor the model bear have names. I'm looking for a name that's both cute (as in, something a young girl would name her stuffed bear) and wise (as in, something that would sound good played-off in the title of a novel). Do you have any ideas? Post them in a comment!

And here's to a moderately thriving blog experience for the next 6 months!

P.S. I'd promise, but you know how that has a history of going. I do, however, mean to post a short synopsis of what I've been up to since I last blogged. (Since that seems to be what people want to know of a recent college graduate.) TTYT!

[EDIT: I'm temporarily going with Rufus Puddlemore. I'll still take suggestions though, and if I see one I like better, I might change. Ooh, and click the Nano '10 button on the right to visit my profile and see the working cover art!]

Design Overhaul

Yesterday, instead of writing a blog post, I decided to re-do the blog layout/design. Of course, it's not all as complicated as all that. Blogger's templates make it really easy. But I did go in and edit several of the images in the default. I'll get back to posting content this afternoon. Enjoy!

Fix Notification

I just realized that the subscription link on the left wasn't working. It should be all better now.

Had to stop and commemorate this momentous occasion! This is the official 100th post on my blog! Thanks for reading, and here's to another 100 just as fun!

God bless,

Name Change

To be honest, I really didn't think it would be available, but as soon as I found out, I put an end to that foolishness!
The point is that this blog address has changed to http://steubiegirl.blogspot.com, which you probably already knew if you got here.
I don't know how this will affect the feed, but hopefully everyone will get the message.
Thanks for putting up with me.
God bless you all,
-Rebekah

Update on name and arbitrary aesthetical differentiation

If you've looked at this page at least two times, you've probably noticed that it keeps changing. I was trying to make it look pretty, but it didn't work very well. Then I was trying to come up with a cutesie name that didn't sound lame, that didn't work either. So I've renamed it nothing at all, and gave up on personalizing the format. I'm not good enough with CSS yet.
I think it will stay this way for a while, but absolutely NO promises! :)

On a related note - Uncle Steve commented that everyone reading this already knows my name, and that it's better to be safe than sorry, so I think I will heed my godfather's sage advice and rename the address. Only... this affects people trying to find me. So: if you have any suggestions for the site address (i.e. instead of "http://rebekahschloeder.blogspot.com/") leave a comment, because I am not feeling exceptionally creative right now.

Thanks for your help!

Why is the first post always the hardest?

I'm not even going to try to say anything profound in my first post. I just wanted to get this up and running before I forget.

This blog is really the cheater's way of keeping in touch. But I figure, there are so many of you who would like to hear from me, and maybe this way, you will forgive me if I don't write as often as you may wish. (I'm a notoriously lousy correspondent.)

Practicals:
-I will be posting before I actually get to school, so you might as well subscribe now if you're ever going to. To subscribe, click the link at the bottom of the page.
-Please comment from time to time, I want to hear from you as much as you want to hear from me!

So, here's hoping this works!
