Just when I'm struggling to come up with a positive for this post, I get a couple very nice gifts.
In a comment on my last post, Elizabeth McKenzie told me she'd read and laughed out loud over one of the writing pieces I posted on my web site. Since the piece, "Hey, Mom", is supposed to be funny, this is a good thing. But even better, Elizabeth is the first person - outside of close personal pre-blog friends - to mention anything from my web site. I've been wondering if the site was going unread or if people were reading these pieces and withholding comment to be kind. So this was a big positive. Thanks, Elizabeth.
And this morning, Heather Webber sent me some information on a writing grant I might be eligible to try for. It blows me away how supportive authors (at least the ones I've met through their blogs) are of each other and how willing they are to give a leg up to a struggling unpublished. Another great positive. Thank you, Heather.
Do you have a positive to share today? I'm trying to keep the positive energy flowing.
Unwriting progress: From the original 150,000 words down to 113,993. (Slow progress but still chuggin' away.)
I'm currently enjoying: Just starting Roast Mortem by Cleo Coyle. My special autographed prize copy. Another positive.
