Up at 3am this morning, did scrabble then went to my essay, that was returned from Katey a few days ago...I always read her letter and line corrections then leave it for a few days to ponder and think about the changes she has suggested...She says that it is close to being finished and I'm trying hard to believe that...Looking at it this morning I became bogged down and have emailed her for help.
Yesterday our "Write People" was crazy...The dynamics of this group is almost indescribable... We range in age from late 70's down to late 40's...So you have mother/daughter, grandmother/granddaughter personalities in the same room at the same round table with a common bond "writing"...Now you throw in education factors from master's in creative writing to high school graduates...Literary sense and common sense butting heads...Strong people, quiet people, inhibited to uninhibited people, poets and writers of prose...We come from all different walks of life, gather as a group to share and improve our writing skills...Respect for each other abounds and we take comfort in the fact that what we share stays with the group...We laugh so hard we cry or we laugh and cry over the written words...By the time we finish, we can be as high as a kite or emotionally drained, slowly loosing air like a helium balloon and descending into an inert puddle on the ground.
We order lunch move on to other subjects and with full tummy's leave knowing that we will be at this same table next week sharing our stories because that is who we are...Hugs to all... OWAV:)
