Uneventful week

Not a very eventful week. I spent time with my extended family, IE Denverfilk. We gathered on Saturday to share food, fellowship and song. Even had an out of town guest from Boston and skyped someone in from Tennessee. It was a wonderful gathering and we all enjoyed ourselves.

On the writing front I got a rejection. Wasn't really surprised. The editor enjoyed the story but it didn't fit the magazine. On the upside, it tells me what has to happen at the end of 'Winter Moon'.

 

Kick Off

Kick offs. They have them in football and my writing group had theirs Tuesday evening at a local bookstore. It was great fun with door prizes given out and the winners for the summer writing contest announced. (I didn't enter by the way.)

More important it gave us a chance to catch up on each others lives and reconnect not just as writers but also as people, each of us unique and none of us trying to be like someone else. We weren't envious of each others success or lack thereof,  because we celebrate equally both our failures/rejections and our victories/publication.

Each of us are on our own path to publication. That is as it should be since we are each different from one another and have our own goals and where we want to be either today, tomorrow or five years from now.

Such support is more than worth its weight in either gold or silver. I am fortunate indeed.
