Thoughts & Observations for Monday

I love renewing Friendships, developing New Contacts, and working on that Bonding so particular to Writers!

Angela Hunt is amazing as an Author, as are Nancy Rue, Bill Myers and Kathy Mackel. But what's also especially appealing about the Writing Staff is that they're personable, accessable, and extraordinarily capable Teachers!

Questions and Answers Session this Afternoon. Not anyone's party-line or at any publisher's directive; just Personal Answers and Opinions to some really excellent questions.

A rather somber film I'd never seen before. A B & W with Robert Duval and Olga Bellin. I'll be thinking about 'Tomorrow' for a while tonight. Discussion in the morning with Angela. Hmmmmm.

My Brain is Weary!

Good Night.

@ Glen Eyrie to find the Juice

OK. So I'm at another Writers' Conference--actually a Workshop. There'll be no Editors to impress or Publishers to hound here. Just some Very Good Writers among my several Colleagues and a Wonderful and Experienced Instructional Staff.

So, what am I here for then? Perhaps to reconnect with certain writing styles anew? Hope so. True, I have been pulled into mostly business writing recently but that's not a bad thing, is it? Besides, I like business writing. I like the detail and utility of what I have to offer; the value of  helping myself and others become more productive and efficient and confident in the workplace.

There have been some Distractions. Issues with Health or Stressors among Friends and Family or Pursuits that've caught my interest and fancy otherwise. And too, it's easy to be Lazy! And I'm soooo good at it! I like to practice it whenever I can!

Gotta work on Focus and Re-Dedication and finding the Juice. A few adjustments required and then Rock On. At least that's what I'm hoping.

I'll share a few things with you along the way. And then, oh yes, we shall see.
