My excuses are flimsy, so I won't even go into them. I want to get back to writing regularly, not just a few minutes a couple of times a week, and am hoping that a little bit of everyone's energy will rub off on me! What especially gave me a lot of pleasure was writing stories for a young niece, about her stuffed animals. She'll be a senior in HS in Sept but still asks for a story now and then! (Her animals have bizarre adventures. She sends one or two animals at a time to stay with me and I fill her in on what they're up to. Some of them write to her.) I don't care if she's the only audience I ever have, although it would be nice if she shares them with her children someday; I just know I need to do it again. A couple of years ago I took an enjoyable Adult Ed writing class, and intended to continue...but the instructor left the area at the end of the semester! I've started some other projects that I need to DO something with! I need to look for another class BUT must begin writing regularly NOW. (One of my excuses is that I have so much fun reading that it doesn't leave me time to write!)Deb Romanonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-42120586636420368472013-07-28T14:49:32.808-04:002013-07-28T14:49:32.808-04:00Met Hank this weekend at MWW 13 and had a chance t...Met Hank this weekend at MWW 13 and had a chance to talk to her. Great advice and funny stories as well. Her keynote speech was fantastic and right on the money for most of us. One of the attendees in front of me (you can barely see me in the picture BTW but I'm there) kept nodding his head as she made her points. Thanks so much Hank for the time we spent together and have fun at Deadly Ink!

I'm busily engaged with reading the Jungle Red Writers' books for the convention. I have discovered new, wonderful series that I'm looking forward to gushing over with you all. If you have any tips for first time Bouchercon attendees, I would appreciate them. Also, if there is anything that the Jungle Red Writers group is doing there that I can attend, I'd also appreciate that information.Kathy Reelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17004247271452356577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-22680439001515520872013-07-28T13:04:39.514-04:002013-07-28T13:04:39.514-04:00I'm with Reine and Debs: #amwriting.

In fact I had to travel across state lines just to post this comment. I tried to relax and enjoy being unconnected (disconnected?) but there was a fair amount of screaming and a few tears.<br /><br />So I worked in the garden all day yesterday. Finished Donna Leon's Acqua Alta. Started Hiassen's Bad Monkey. Watched Talented Mr. Ripley. And then got to work on my Deadly Ink stuff.....if anyone has any dirt on Hank - please send to me!

Friday I'm attending an opening pARTy at the Biggs Museum of American Art in Dover, DE, where some of my writing will be enlarged and put on display alongside paintings, sculptures, etc. as part of the Award Winners XIII exhibition. Saturday is the monthly Writers' Breakfast at Panera's. Sunday I begin teaching an online workshop. Mostly, this week I am celebrating the notice I received Friday--I've been granted another two week residency at the Va. Center for the Creative Arts, in December. Yay!<br /><br />Oh, and writing.

And did I mention it is July??!! :) I've been trying to get back to my writing but my brain has been on lock down since my mom died.
