Return of the long lost muse!

My muse came to visit today! It's been so long I hardly recognized her. She brought with her an idea I'd had years ago and today I started sketching out the first scenes. It's something kind of along the lines of "Fried Green Tomatoes", "Divine Secrets of the YaYa Sisterhood", "How to Make an America Quilt"... that arena. I love feeling inspired!

critique group, anyone?

I'm interested in forming a critique/support group in Orlando to meet on a weekly basis either at Stardust on Winter Park Road or Barnes and Noble at Colonial & Bumby.

Anyone interested? Please contact me privately or leave a message here with your availability, interests, and contact info.

The reading experience

It has occurred to me of late that the reading experience is much more than simply the act of reading. For me,
the feel of the book in my hands, the smell of the pages, the size of the print, my frame of mind and the environment I am in at the time all come together to form the reading experience. I am certain that there are some very good books out there that I have not read because the ink stunk or it didn't lay open in my hands just right.

Or, the writer has done something off the wall that… Continue
