Yes, thanks 4 sharing. I will check it out.
Hey, Tvc15,I enjoy our personal contact off the forum. I am glad you enjoy the positive 4wards I send ya! Love being on this long vacation.
It is raining very hard here. Would not surprise me if the power goes out 2day. Lots of flooding.
I enjoyed my writer's conference in Minnesota.
Again, the message is write what you know & don't write 2 get rich! They put me in non-fiction, had 2 get removed right quick! I went 2 fiction, where I wanted 2 be in the 1st place, but I had sent a non-fiction piece in 2 be accepted.
Being right by one of their mmany lakes, I was able to write a few new pieces. The only problem I had was workshop leaders taking the liberty of freedom of speech a bit 2 far, especially when their audience consisted of children for the open 2 the public sessions. I walked out and ones who stayed, wished they had done so also. Stand up 4 what you believe in, ALWAYS!
My class enjoyed giving me feedback 2 my newest children's piece. I just submitted it.
They also enjoyed my poem that I read in front of the whole conference, "So Much Hate."
I got soooooooooo many hugs:)
Hello 2 all my Minn. Boomers. Fantastic people!
I am trying my best to get back there next year 2 the St. Paul/Minn. area.
All my work has been going to publications in this area. WOW! I have never been treated so well, and I have been to a lot of states & countries. I could live there.
Well, I am enjoying my grandson, Dontay, who is visiting me for the Summer. He will get to see me in action when I do a book signing for a Summer children's program, next week. He will be leaving the Big Apple and moving 2 Texas, so Texas will now be my 2nd home,lol. Always wanted a 2nd home.
I hope ALL the Boomers are safe from these heavy storms. Will be back over here b4 the month is over, so Dotsie won't have 2 come hunting me down.
Have a great week, one & all.
