Yesterday was productive, but my WIP would disagree. I attended a writers’ workshop, read a fantastic novel and wrote its review. Yet, my creation station saw me naught…not. The workshop was produced by my local library and I expected to leave early. In fact I nearly didn’t make it, but that another Sunday post.

Once there, Susan Sloate, (Steeling Fire and Forward to Camelot) inspired me to listen for an hour of incentives. Her keynote speech entitled The Writer’s Life impressed her audience with the realisms of difficult work. She gifted me during the second hour with noted valuable tips about Creating an Amazon Bestseller or how to use Amazon to a fuller advantage. Sabrina Jeffries was next and dear reader, she knocked my socks off with advice about sagging middles, snappy dialogue and What the Duke Desires. I arrived home to an email from a talented writer, David McIver, asking “Well, what do you think?” Egad! I had forgotten my promise to read his novel, RV-The Accident, and write a review. For the next several hours I was engrossed in a riveting novel of suspense. He’ll be invited to speak at writers workshops soon. Yes, he’s that good.

Now, my WIP- Gray Lace- is screaming for attention. He (yes, my books are male) is stomping his folder and enjoying a spoiled little boy’s hissy fit. My mother would say he’s having a fit and falling in it.

Enough!
