This month is racing by. I can’t believe that it is already 2015!! The holidays were wonderful, but not much time left for writing. Now that January is half over, I’m still trying to get back into my rhythm of daily writing. I’m also trying to get the sequels to ‘After the War, Before the Peace’ into print. Love writing the novels, dislike the administrative work to get them in print.

Our writing group is probably experiencing one of its best periods. The writers these days are top quality and doing the critiques after each session is a joy. Also, we have a new location. Our old location, our local public library, treated us like step-children and frequently put us in rooms far to small for our size. I don’t understand why our group wasn’t more welcomed. Would there be a library without writers???? Anyway, Karen VanerJagt, one of our local writers, has access to a large meeting room in her family’s business location. The place is fabulous. So large, bright, cheerful and conducive to creativity.

In addition to my daily writing, I’m putting together my material for our town’s local Spring Frenzy. A week of jillions of class on every subject imaginable. I’ll be teaching journaling and fiction writing. The dates of my classes are Feb. 2 and Feb. 4. Drop me an email if you are interesting in attending either class. A writer friend, Paul Bailey, will be conducting a class on book publishing.

So, I’ll sign off with a thought on time. “Lost, yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered, for they are gone forever.” Horace Mann
