I'm back!

So, 10 days on a sailboat from the Eastern Shore of Maryland to Fall River, Mass with my husband and in-laws. Good times.

Also, a valid form of procrastination. Now I'm back to work, writing and lining up a new client.

This week I plan to get those first two chapters on the go. As for a little more info on this book sitch, I'm writing it with another guy who has already published a book (Before the Glory -- it's on amazon and published by the Chicken Soup for the Soul folks). I'm not exactly sure where that puts this project, but he's making the connections and the meetings. In the meantime, I need to go tackle some of those mini-cassettes!

Plot party!

Well, it was mostly critiquing and a little plotting, but still a great day. Members of a local writers group I belong to got together at another member's home for a day of critiquing, plotting, chatting, and oh yes, eating!

We writers energized the summer air with ideas and I, for one, left with a renewed feeling of focus--even though I hadn't put any plot or issue on the (wicker) table! That happens a lot with writers. Although it is a solitary pursuit, when we meet, we feed on everyone else's creativity and fresh perspective. Thanks PLRW!
