About Me

I set this blog up as a way to express myself creatively through my writing. I am a 'long distance' member of a writing group in Somerset called "Works in Progress" I am currently working on my first & second novels (simultaneously), along with multiple short stories, poems, and even a childrens story or two....which is very interesting...you know...all those voices talking at once!

My Goodbye Meeting :-(

Well, tonight was my last physical meeting with my beloved writers group; Works In Progress. :-( These are sad times for me where my writers group is concerned. While I truly enjoyed spending the evening with the group discussing all of our writings, it was sad because it will be the last time I can go to a meeting and talk to all of them in person.

I am in no way giving up my membership to this nut farm but I will have to do my participation from afar. This is one of the most supportive groups I have ever had the pleasure of being involved with and I know that whoever fills my seat in the future will be truly blessed to be involved with this group.

I will miss all of you and consider myself truly blessed to have been included in this group.

Keep writing...I know I will...and if you are ever in Costa Rica...Stop by!

She's Back!

She's Back! She's Back! My Muse is really back! And boy have I missed her. It has been so long since I was able to write anything...at least it seems like forever. I had a really good run going just before my thyroid surgery, then after the surgery...nothing! I thought for sure that either they had cut out my Muse when they cut out half of my thyroid or the anesthetic had killed her! Apparently neither was the case. I guess she reacts to the anesthetic as badly as I do and it took her a little longer to recover. Or maybe I took longer to recover and couldn't here her through all of the fog in my brain brought on by the anesthetic? Either way, I don't care because she is back and I am VERY happy to see her!! Not to try to butter her up or anything but the story she came back with was pretty darn good; if I do say so myself! I will find out what the writers group thinks on the 16th. I hope they liked it as much as I did. She can be very annoying sometimes....but man is she gooooood!
