Wait...what? The week is over? What have I accomplished? Especially when my mind is somewhere in Tuesday.
Mostly I just did my job, stuck to my fiction-writing routines, exercised, and either had trouble sleeping or passed out right away, but dragged all week. However, last week was pretty intense, sooo...
New thing: We are also making web versions/photos lists of stories now. Quick count: I believe I did about a dozen of those this week, too.
WriteOn Joliet last night, which always invigorates me, and the monthly fiction-writing workshop tonight. Topic: different ways to use flashback. Tomorrow:fasting blood work for my physical and afterward working on Before the Blood, although it sounds like that should come first.
Recap time:
Local events: Health, faith, and arts and entertainment calendars: where to find them? Under the sections tab on the left hand side of http://www.theherald-news.com/. Click on "features" and the topics drop down. Assembled by moi.

'As long as I am reporting, I'll be happy'
10 questions with Herald-News intern Megan Schuller
Baran-Unland: How have your grown as a journalist this
summer?
Schuller: For one thing real life experience is something
that school can never teach, especially in a field like this. I continue to
learn more each day about the subjects I write on, sources I speak to, area I
am covering, writing style, etc. I've gained more confidence in my writing as
well. Let me tell you: seeing your byline on newsstands across your hometown is
a pretty surreal feeling.
'I like to be in charge of things'
10 questions with Herald-News intern Jessie Spangler
Baran-Unland: When, and why, did you decide to channel that
passion into journalism?
Spangler: I first started thinking about journalism when I
was 10, but didn't really start seriously thinking about it until my senior
year of high school. I was really set on becoming a veterinarian for years, and
didn't realize until senior year of high school that wasn't the right path for
me. I figured I had a better chance at making the world better through writing
because it's something I'm passionate about.
'This could happen to any family'
Joliet woman grieving her 22-month-old godson's drowning
Serena Magosky said Moore was a happy active toddler, very sweet and
full of life, “a bright shining star.” Jenny called him “Nugget.” Serena said
losing Moore is like losing her own child.
“I went to bed crying and I woke up crying,” Serena said.
An Extraordinary Life: New friendship solves old mystery
And a chance meeting provides a man-of-God mentor
"Albert told me each day that he prayed for me,"
Tom Grotovsky said in his eulogy. "I spoke to him almost every day at 8:10 a.m. and
4:30 p.m. He was my blessing. I used to say 'Albert, you are God’s messenger to
me. God uses your voice to speak to me in words I need to hear.'"

It took a car accident to get a diagnosis
Now Erika Fleck is using her knowledge to help Morris area
residents
Fleck said she knew little about epilepsy when she was
diagnosed. So she wants to raise awareness, too.
"One out of 26 people have epilepsy," Fleck said.
"And 70 percent of people have no idea how they got it."
From our house to yours: Two elegant summer desserts
One is a panna cotta (an Italian custard with caramel syrup).
The other, if you prefer something more complicated, is a chocolate cake with a
passion fruit curd, topped with chocolate mousse, lime syrup, strawberry sauce
and chocolate crunch.
She came from South Korea, eternity's on her mind
"I became a strong woman – spiritually – and I also
became adjustable in a new environment," Rev. Hyo Sun Oh said. "It is kind of
hard to move from church to church, but I became very flexible."
Never thought it could happen to me
For years I've teased my daughter Rebekah Baran about her
love for Asian music, movies, dramas, variety shows, and animes. I've now embarked on an adventure into the popular entertainment of
another continent. I'm not alone.
Turns out such entertainment is popular all over the globe.
A time to watch, a time to dance – in Plainfield
Altin Naska, owner of Plainfield Dance Academy, will host PDA's
fourth Community Engagement Dance Series on that night. But don't write this
off as a typical dance recital for students' family and friends. This is a real
show for the community.
