Women of the Apocalypse Book Launch


Can’t think of a better way to spend a Friday evening — too dragged out from the week to write, but didn’t want to veg. Erika, Dave, Randy, Val, Kim and I were there as part of a packed house, and it was great fun. Thanks to Pages On Kensington for running stuff like this for authors — we are very lucky to have them (I bought a book, not only to support the authors, but to support Pages as well). The writers only read a little, but told stories about how the work came to be (which was relaxed and hilarious), and then a bunch of us went for drinks and late dinner after — it’s wonderful to network with other authors. Look on my blog roll for a link to Eileen’s website.

And I DID Submit


Just about an hour ago, before supper. Now, back to the novella!

BTW, I also got to get out of the house yesterday and hear my friend and writers-group-member, Jan read from her new kids’ book. It was awesome — must have been 30-40 people there, including some members of my group, so we had a good visit as well and took lots of photos. None of me, though, because it wasn’t my camera. So I don’t have the photos, either.

Good times!

Great weekend


Well, I enjoyed it. Got to write all day Saturday and all day Sunday. Okay, there were interruptions, but I think I have a new submission ready to go. It’s a good feeling.

Here’s an Interesting Thought . . .


My daughter had a very cool thought last night. She said writing a story is like writing an essay: you open with your idea (this is what I am going to say), then you present example after example that relates back to the main theme, then finish by saying what you said. Okay, clearly not through infodump, but through illustration. I love it!
