August 2010 Deb's Monthly Review
The August 2010 issue of Deb's Monthly Review has been uploaded. It's filled with festival listings and other events in the U.S., plus links to other interesting information. One of the items this month mentions the current popularity of cupcakes and shops that specialize in cupcake design and production. The site includes an archived list of issues from the last several years and there is a form you can use to sign up for the Notify Note so that you can know when a new issue has been uploaded.

July 2010 issue of Deb's Monthly Review is online
Fiction writing is still on the back burner for me. In the meanwhile, I'm still doing Deb's Monthly Review and the July 2010 issue is finished and has been uploaded. Have a look at it, if you like, and see what U.S. festivals you might be interested in attending.

Festivals you can write home about
Writing is often a solitary exercise, so it's fun when I can share something that's about getting out and mingling with people and enjoying crafts, music, carnival rides, t-shirts, prizes, games, corn on the cob, cotton candy, nachos, corn dogs, deep-fried candy bars and gigantic pies. The April 2010 issue of Deb's Monthly Review has been uploaded and is full of festivals and other events in the US during the month of April. You can have a peek here.

Drive through, walk through, enjoy the lights
If you enjoy looking at the holiday lights you should visit the Lightpatch listings of places to see Christmas lights. Many are public displays, but as the season progresses there will be some spots in residential neighborhoods that turn up as sweet spots for lights. If you go looking you should know that some charge a fee and some ask for food or toy donations for charity. Please be prepared to share as you're able.

December festivals
The December 2009 issue of Deb's Monthly Review has been uploaded. Many festivals this month are holiday-centric and most of those are Christmas-related. And I don't cover every event, so be sure to look around your own county for concerts, park lightings, gingerbread house competitions and more holiday fun.

Yes, it's already time to talk about Christmas Lights
When one toils into the night it had best be for a good reason. In this particular case, it was to get the Christmas Lights web page ready to go. I'll be adding new listings now and then for the next couple of months, but this is a nice beginning to aid those seeking out the lights of the holiday season.
