I am working to catch up on the 16th day of a 31-day Blog. I’ve written at least 12 but failed to launch them because they didn’t look right or sound right, or I couldn’t get my website to behave. I don’t think the failed-to-launch posts count. I worked harder on them. I learned how to use the WP site better.

           As Miss Tackas, Lincoln Jr. High School’s Home Economics teacher would say about the sewing machine not working,

                           “It’s not the machine. It’s the operator.”

         I can’t tell you how often those words have wandered back in my mind when things don’t work.

Failure to launch is my fault. – I’ll learn.
