At the Lone Star Conference with the Marvelous Margie Lawson

The 2015 Lone Star Conference. A day of fabulous workshops. Margie Lawson is an awesome teacher.

Donna Maloy gave a workshop on Voice at our Houston Bay Area RWA meeting tonight. It was fantastic. Loved the handout. I feel very fortunate to have such great local writers’ groups here.

This is from a reading I did at Writespace in Houston. Fun evening.

The tag said it is NOT A BRA. I thought maybe it was a hat. The manager asked us to leave. Harrumph.

The Ocean! Oh, how I love the ocean.

I’m so sick of being afraid, exhausted and burned out. I think everyone goes through those times–too much to do, too little energy–where every time we make one step forward, we get shoved five steps to the left until we just fall over. I’m trying to find my flow in life. I’m trying to learn the dance steps. I’ve been digging myself out of this hole for a while and I think it’s going to be okay. Even falling on your face is forward progress, right?

Very excited about this from the Houston Writer’s Guild. It’s my first non-RWA contest.
