I went to another Sci fi writers group

I loved it! And I went to the pub after!

I shared my story with one member who after two nerve wracking weeks read it.

I have come to the conclusion that writing means pulling yourself up out of the rubble of your dreams of being a writer and just getting on with it, sometimes one painful word at a time. Hell, like so many things its just learning to push through fear and expectation on bad days, and on good days just closing the door on fear and expectation gently saying, "go on, I'll join you later, I just have to finish this page..."

I got into Sister Writes!

It is a ten week workshop and you get a professional to edit your story and then it gets printed in an anthology. Yeah!

I am going to use something I worked on a long time ago and see if it suits. I have to have a draft by May 1st. I hear really good things about this group. My friend Jen got me in it. She has been earning a living writing for an on-line mag. She has a wicked wit, is very smart and has been an "inspiration" though she would kill me if she knew I said that. :P

Don't keep a diary if your parents are insane.

Leave home.

Waking up Gay and Criminal

I don't have any more but I sure wish it was the prompt instead of "Jasmine, forever"...
