Fall Writing Frenzy

It’s been a busy week. Lots of writing chores. After getting some great feedback on my first novel, I have decided to have another go at it. I have finished a short story which now gets to sit and cool before I go back and edit it. I have read two 4000 word pieces for critiquing. I have begun compiling my Christmas stories.
Extra energy? I do better as soon as the summer heat becomes autumn cool.
I realized mid summer that I was not writing at all. I took several conscious steps to fix that. I took an on line course. It was a beginning writers’ course so I didn’t have to think much about it, but it got me back in the groove. I helped start a critique group of mystery writers.
Best of all, I spent a weekend with 17 other writers in a beach house. We critiqued each other’s work, ate well, walked on the beach and talked endlessly about writing. I have attended conferences since I started writing but this was something different. Writers helping writers write better.
