Between Writing my NaNo Novel and posting to Medium.com daily, I’ve let my posts to The Apples in My Orchard Slide a little bit. I thought I’d share some recent postings here: A travel post about Kauai – 11/21/22 A post about Kindness and whether or not acts of kindness need to be shared. 11/21/22…

Slice of Life: NaNoWriMo Starts Today!
National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is here! Each year in November, writer’s from across the globe try to crank out a novel during this month! And this year, I am participating with seriousness! I first became aware of NaNoWriMo when my younger two boys were in middle school. They were encouraged to participate in the…
The Weekly Catch #2: What’s New With My Medium Blog?
With October in its final days, I looked at my stats on WordPress and realized that I have not been posting often here. I have, however, been posting to my Medium page every day. It’s been a fairly good month there as far as views, reads, and comments go. As I did a couple of…
The Weekly Catch #1: What’s New With My Medium Blog?
Once a week I’ll try to catch up with my WordPress blog followers on the posts I’ve made on my Medium.com page. I’ve still not decided about the platform and if it is worth my time, I am gaining a larger readership but the bucks aren’t rolling in. I did earn slightly more in September…
Writing Updates
Most of my blog posts this month have been on Medium.com under my name. I had another good month on the platform with over 4300 hundred views and 2.1K reads with still a few days left in the month. This is well over the readership I accrue on WordPress. There were two separate periods when…
The Challenges of Blogging Daily
As many know, I’ve been splitting my writing time between two blogs for the last three months. I am still posting here, on WordPress, and I also have a page on Medium.com just using my name. You can search for it that way if you wish. Otherwise, I’ll post a link here for you to…
Catching Up On Posts

What’s on My Writing Desk?
Yesterday, I wrote a post about what’s on my desk. Here is the link for that post: https://carollabuzzetta.medium.com/is-there-anything-good-on-my-writing-desk-eb60c9dff76d The day before I wrote about the fungi I saw on a walk on the Timm’s Hill Trail that runs near our cabin. It was a 3-mile total hike. Here is the link for that: https://carollabuzzetta.medium.com/fungi-seen-on-wisconsin-hikes-the-common-and-the-weird-721094248295 On…
A New Milestone: 1800 Posts
Earlier this week, I promised I’d write about some recent milestones. Today, I am writing my 1800th post on my WordPress blog, The Apples in My Orchard! Eighteen hundred posts! Wow! Since I’ve been writing daily since the end of February 2017, it’s been almost five and a half years of posting. It’s not quite…
Why Do I Keep Returning to Bermuda?
Today’s post was written on Medium.com. Here is the link: Bermuda’s a Beautiful Island but not in the Caribbean! (click the title here to the left) Thanks for reading! I’m still trying to figure out all things Medium! I was approved for the Medium Partner Program which essentially means that I can get some revenue…
