Thursday, September 22nd Happy Birthday to Me
Well, sitting down to write a book set in a historical time period is a little more involved than yours truly anticipated. I think it's especially challenging cause I've got those anal Virgo tendencies.  Sunday, September 18th Writers and Readers
There is something very inspiring about spending time with people of similar interest and experience. Between deadlines, National conference, my mother's health, and life in general, it had been a long time since I'd attended a Georgia Romance Writer's meeting. I presented the program yesterday. I told the group I always left more inspired and with more knowledge than when I came. Friday, September 16th Workshop, the Week-end and Chicken Pox
Today I'm finishing up my notes and reviewing my presentation for a workshop I'm presenting at my RWA chapter, GRW, tomorrow. I'm covering conflict and while I think it's really intersting, I hope no one falls asleep and lands face first in their pasta plate. Ack. It doesn't make me nervous to speak in front of a group, but I'm always concerned that I have content that means everyone leaves with some new insight and aren't bored to death in the interim. Tuesday, September 13th Hello
I haven't disappeared off of the face of the earth--although I've sort of felt that way. I returned home Labor Day week-end. I'm so happy to report that my mother is doing fabulous. Thanks for all the healing thoughts and prayers. And since I've been home, it's been pretty hectic--alas, none of it terribly interesting. Tonight it was total comfort food for dinner--meatloaf and mashed potatoes. |
"Go out as far as you can in your writing. I can rein you back in, but
I can't take you out there."
Writer Buddies Anna Adams “Edison failed 10,000 times before he made the electric light. Do not be discouraged if you fail a few times.”
Writerly Links DoBelieve "Some men admit they avoid confrontation (about breaking up) because they’re afraid we’ll cry. Of course we’ll cry; we cry at Hallmark commercials. What they don’t understand is that we’re not crying because of them, we’re crying because now we have to get naked in front of someone else.”
Fun Links "If you’re going through hell, keep going.”
"Sex is not a sin. Many people have complained that this is taking all the fun out of sex.”
"I know the difference between a good man and a bad one, but I haven’t decided which I like better.”
"Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change.”
“Men make love more intensely at twenty but make love better, however, at thirty.”
“My sister was with two men one night. She could hardly walk after that. Can you imagine? Two dinners!”
“A bit of lusting after someone does wonders for you and is good for your skin.”
“I used to think I had ambition...but now I’m not so sure. It may have been only discontent. They’re easily confused.”

But it's interesting and I'm enjoying it. 
I'd planned on maybe getting my hair done this afternoon, but our secretary at work is out with a sick child so I'll answer the phones at work instead and then drive car pool to soccer after work--which is all okay. 
I'll go eat lunch with my daughter at her school and I've already had a lovely day. I've got my family and my home and the usual chaos of our lives. I haven't lost my home to a hurricane or its aftermath. I'm not having to evacuate and leave most of my stuff behind and not know whether I'll come back to it or come back to nothing. I'm feeling very blessed and sending comforting thoughts to all those people still recovering from Katrina and now fleeing Rita's wrath.
), ignoed the laundry waiting to be done and the stack of paperwork on my desk and plopped on the couch and read for five hours without interruption. It was lovely. 
If I have both of them down for the count with the chicken pox...I may just have to find a really tall bridge....
