No Writing Tonight
Just a Crazy Busy Day…
It was a Monday. Errands from the moment I left the house until after five.
Then workshop stuff at WMG, then home to do e-mail, take a nap, cook dinner, and then back on workshop assignments. Today and tomorrow has April workshops ending and May workshops starting assignments.
Crazy amounts of stuff, plus doing some reading on the Strengths workshop and on the short story challenge. (Yes, still taking sign-ups on the Strength workshops.)
Plus Kris gave me a brand new novella I wanted to get reading.
Yeah, I have a tough life, reading stories. But alas, someone has to do it. (grin)
But no writing tonight. I expected that. Expect it for tomorrow as well.

MAJOR WRITING BUNDLE
Just TWO days left. Don’t miss this one. Very, very inexpensive education.
Amazing stuff for only $15 or $20 bucks. And AbleGamers is the charity on this bundle, which is one of the best causes I have ever seen.
Authors in this are Mary Buckham, Tonya D. Price, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Lawrence Block, me, Maggie McVay Lynch, Leah Cutter, Chuck Heintzelman, and Joanna Penn. Plus a $50 lecture from WMG, a discount to get Jutoh, and a discount to all the stuff at a Writer’s Cafe.
