I've got a new article up at Penwomanship you girls might like: Adverbaholics Anonymous - 12 Step Program to Recovery, a tongue-in-cheek look at losing our dependence on adverbs instead of finding strong verbs. Enjoy!

http://www.penwomanship.com/Adverbaholics%20Anonymous%2012-Step%20Program.htm

Don't forget to check out Georgia's newest offering also, and Dannye - plus there's some more new people.

Missed you all.

Dian, those pesky adverbs ... always cropping up in the most unusual places. Great reminder to keep them at bay.

Great article.

While on the site I found that the editor has put up a short story I sent - didn't realise it was there. Its at

Re-reading it I wish I could edit some more - but, hey, this is my first published short story! [Smile]

Oh neat, Julie - I didn't realize it was you! I do the website for PW.

I wanted to tell one of the new members, and I can't find the right post - the one with the gorgeous artwork - I bet Penny would publish some of that work for her.

For all you guys who don't know much about PW, it is dedicated to featuring work by women: art, photography, poetry, essays, stories, and I'm sure there will be more.

Make sure you take the Women in Histry Poll, too. It's on the front page. (the link)

Julie, loved your story, it was great - well written, very descriptive, nice touch of suspense.

Speakermom - a book a day - oh man!!! where do you find the time?
