Writing Updates | Housewife Class

For one thing, I want to apologize for all the random ?Something happened in Emily World!? notifications on the app.? For some reason it has stopped giving notifications if it is a picture-only post, and started giving notifications even if I have scheduled something for a future posting.? For example, blogs on the book of Jeremiah will start posting in January, but as I have finished them and scheduled them for posting, notifications are popping up even though nothing really has happened in Emily World.

Except a lot has happened in Emily World!

For one, an update to the app.? Check for that in case it makes a difference as we try to get it fixed.? And speaking of the app, check out the new fancy-schmancy badge they gave me on the top of my blog!? So fun!? When you click on it, it takes you straight to this app in the app store.? I love it!

But we are also still working on some things.? If you go to this website on a tablet or iPad, the layout is fixed again but still has the strange blue background at the top with the tiny icon.? Weird.? Allegedly, they are working on that.? Still.? A year later.?? So technical difficulties are part of the learning process, even if not one of the more romantic aspects.

Mostly I like to write, for writing?s sake.

And I am writing lots, even if my blog has been mostly pictures lately.

A whole lot of fun things are about to be published, and as they come out I will post links so you can see!? Hopefully some of it will be helpful to someone.? As part of my writing for Deseret Digital (which includes Deseret News, a Utah newspaper, and Mormon Times, a faith-based newspaper ? both of them online and in print), I have recently been contributing to a new website called ?FamilyHow?.? This website is great because it is not long-winded and nerdy Emily-ness, but quick and short answers in practical and direct ways.? I think you will love it!?? Any of these things that are published I will get to share links to on the blog, so you can pick and choose if any sound interesting or fun to check out ? whether to see my writing, or maybe to learn something.

There is more exciting news to share later, and thank you for your patience with technical difficulties and encouragement to write, write, write!

qrCode Things about Emily: "I'm a Mormon." I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I love my family. I love my friends. I got bilateral cochlear implants in 2010. I will always love sign language. I choose books over television, and organics over processed. Nothing is as close to flying as ballroom dancing - except maybe running, when in the solo mood. I would rather be outside than anywhere else, especially at the river riding my bike or kayaking. I enjoy taking pictures. I have two ugly puppies. I have my PhD, but that is mostly nerdy-boring... except that I love my job! Resting days are lost in gardens and books. The best thing about Emily World is that it's always an adventure, even if (not so) grammatically precise. The only thing better than writing is being married to a writer. Nathan Christensen and I were married in the Oklahoma City temple on 13 October 2012. Nathan writes musical theater, including "Broadcast" (a musical history of the radio) and an adaption of Lois Lowry's "The Giver". He served his mission in South Korea, has taught song-writing in New York City public schools, and worked as a theater critic for a Tucson newspaper. His hip and cool day job includes writing copy for UncommonGoods.com. This is not an official Web site of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
