Just a handful of "original" works ran in features this week - it's been a whole lot of catching up since I returned. I have't even cracked open the manuscript, not for a single peek.
And doing so this weekend will be challenging, too. But I will.
I have a self-publishing information talk/seminar/workshop tomorrow from 9 to 11 at Book and Bean Cafe in Joliet (would love to see you, just $10 if you're not a member of WriteOn Joliet), followed by a wedding at noon (not mine, of course, but still...)
And speaking of WriteOn Joliet, it's recent growth is amazing me. We have new people at nearly every meeting, and they are staying. Three new people attended last night, one the week before that, and three the week before that.
Several of us will be participating in "Writers 15 Minutes of Fame" at 7 p.m. July 26 at the Plainfield Library, 15025 S. Illinois St. in downtown Plainfield. If you're available that night and would like to hear a mix of works read aloud by their authors, come on out!
And now:

And now:
Non-bylined features:
One can also find those event listings, the Gotta Do It calendar, as well as the pets, health, faith, and arts and entertainment calendars, under the sections tab on the left hand side of http://www.theherald-news.com/. Click on "features" and the topics drop down. Gotta Do It runs under "people."
Monday through Saturday I assembled my non-bylined works - brief posts and calendar listings - into one convenient file and posting them on Facebook in the evening, so readers can easily choose the ones they want to read.
Community news? Again, under the sections tab, under features, and by topic. Updates are posted on these days in print and web (and some only on web on other days as I have the time): Monday (pets), Tuesday (health), Thursday (faith), Friday (arts and entertainment), and Sunday (people).
Social media:

Mystery Diner: Volar in Plainfield — comida auténtica indeed
Next came the queso fundido a Volar, a twist on classic
queso. The cheese dip was mainly chorizo, which was something we were all quite
excited about. It was not too spicy and definitely filling.
But we managed to save room for the main course, of course.

"It’s not a matter of “like to write”, rather whatever
demands to be written. An idea for a story will pop into my head and will
refuse to go away until I write it."
