No "Story Round-Up," just some Community News (April 19, 2018)

Actually, I had this ready to post yesterday before dashing off to my WriteOn Joliet meeting last night, so yesterday was just plain...full (and full of forgetfulness).

But with upcoming training at work and new processes to learn, I used the last week and a half to catch up on those minute details of half-done projects before the routine changes up.

Now I'm not exactly caught up. But the backlog is about 85 percent gone, a huge relief.

So just one story and it's not even one I wrote. And then the briefs I did edit and assemble from news release. And then switching over to work.

Have a wonderful Friday, readers, writers, and vampire fans! :)


Mystery Diner: Friendly service, good food at Cookie's Restaurant in Minooka

The service was good – and friendly – despite the reality that we were a little loud and messy at our table.
