Hey Everyone! I'm happy to say that my Blog-a-Vacation has ended, at least for now. I wish I could report that I increased my word count in my memoir, by leaps and bounds, but that wouldn't be true. You know how sometimes you feel like you need to take a vacation to recuperate from your vacation?
I've been busier than ever with Saturday Writers, posting contest information, working on our October Workshop and First Annual Silent Auction. Thank goodness I have a fabulous person who volunteered to chair the auction for me. Thank you, Jennifer H.!! (Speaking of Saturday Writers, I've also just made the decision to not stay on as president next year. I've really enjoyed it, but it has taken up a lot more of my time (and energy) than I ever imagined.)
I'm very excited and honored to announce that I am the featured writer this Friday on WOW! Women on Writing Blog - The Muffin. So please stop by their blog on Friday, August 26th. You can also check out their guidelines for Friday Speak Out!
I've run across more Calls for Submissions and Contests, but I'll wait for another day to post them.
The Ronald and I have been talking about down-sizing for quite some time and have decided that NOW is pretty much the right time. So, I'll be more involved in what's been an on-going desire: De-cluttering my house! → Also, I have some beautiful office furniture For Sale. Those of you who live in my part of the world and are interested, please e-mail me for information and photos. ←
All of this, plus throw in a little more family drama, and as I wrote on August 1st: "Life always gets in the way of my plans and well intentions."
....but, I don't give up.

Glad that you're back!

ReplyDeleteHey JFC! Thank you...it's great to be back. And no, you're definitely not too late to register for the October workshop. Just don't wait too long, because there's only so many seats!
ReplyDeleteHi Val! You are hilarious! And awww, gee, thanks! Talk about showing and not telling...what a visual I get whenever I read your comment. Excellent!
Hi Sue! Thank you! You're always a woman of few words...you're a micro-fiction writer! :)
Hi Jo! Thank you! I've missed y'all. I DID sneak in a little reading here and there...but not much, and I didn't comment. Oh, and yes I hope you check out WOW tomorrow. How funny we both wrote about never giving up!
Hey Sioux! Another micro-fiction lady! Thanks! :)
Yay! :o)
ReplyDeleteMissed you Becky. It's not nice, but I'm kinda glad to know you actually have a normal life - family dramas and all.
ReplyDeleteHope all is well and glad to see you here.
I'll check you out over on WOW, Becky! That's a fave site of mine. ;-)
ReplyDeleteAloha Becky,
ReplyDeleteWelcome back from your vacation. Congrats on your WOW blog feature. You go girl.
Hooray for you on your endeavor to declutter. I started a couple of years ago and I'm still decluttering. No, I don't have a lot of stuff, I'm just slow. LOL
Warm hugs to you.
Hey Jen! Thank you!
