Busy, I am keeping busy. Between writer's groups, play practice and life in general, I have been keeping busy. Too much lifting, I think? I have been enjoying myself so I am not complaining.

Today, I am really sore in between my shoulders. Maybe it's from going to the laundry mat. That is alot of work. I miss my washer and dryer.

I miss Corky as does her pal, Dinny. Both are pictured above. She was such a happy dog. I have to keep telling myself that Molly is happier without her. The girls aren't trying to tear each other apart. Molly is gaining wait again. In general, the house is quieter. Still, I miss Corky.

Tomorrow is Open Mic at the Ladybug Coffee Galleries, 601 Putnam. We are booked at 6:00PM to 7:30PM. Come on out and enjoy the stories and poetry written by people in your community. If you have written something you would like to share come on by and join us!

Next week, I am doing the writing prompts for the FlashXr Yahoo Group. I hope I can live up to the current prompter. The one prompt I did for the group last weekend was taken from a song that wouldn't leave my head. Buffett's Vampires, Mummies and the Holy Ghost. The line I used was These are the things that terrify me the most.

Well, I will stop rambling for now. Do you wonder how I can write a story under 1000 words?

I have done so much since my last post. I probably won't be posting on this page as frequently. blogging cuts into my writing time...Really, that is a bad thing.

Let's see...

The Cleveland Rocks NEORWA Writer's Conference was great. I learned so much. See my other blog for details at http://findthatperfectending.blogspot.com/.

The Y-City Writer's are going to be busy. We are hosting Open Mic Night at Java House on Maple Avenue. Looks like we may be doing the same beginning in July at the Lady Bug Coffee Gallery. In October, we are going to be hosting our own writer's conference. We are just in the beginning talk stage on this. Hopefully, this will leave everyone time to write. For me, I'll just continue to neglect housework.

I went to check out the Lady Bug Coffee Gallery. It is a peaceful atmosphere for writing. If one should tire of writing observing the other patrons is always an option. Just remember to jot down mannerisms, or quirks you find interesting.

Yes, I am writing... I have refocused my energies on Saving Beauty, my Hunters For Hire story. After meeting with two of the editors from Ellora's Cave, I think this will be a good place to start my career.

I am still submitting my short stories...Waiting on replies now.

The kittens are getting so big. Soon, I won't be able to lift them with one hand. I wish they would stay babies forever. They are so much fun to watch frolicking throughout the house. Corky still tries to carry them around, but I think she is getting frustrated that they just get up and leave after she has went to the effort of moving them.

Last night as I was preparing to leave, the wind began blowing and the sky opened up. Still, I continued on my way. For it was time to read poetry at the Java House. I didn't want to let down my fellow writers from The Y-City Writer's Group.

The room where the Poetry Readings took place filled up quickly. From young to old, we gathered to share our poems and stories. A mere six from our writing group showed up, but no matter, we had over twenty people in attendance for the event. People came and went, making room for others.

It was a nice intimate gathering, perhaps on nicer nights we may be able to take the readings to the beautiful patio area. Yes, we intend to make this a monthly event. I for one cannot wait. I hope that we continue to be as successful as last night.
