It's a busy Friday morning leading into a busy evening.
Tonight, from 6 to 8:30 p.m., WriteOn Joliet will host its second anthology release party at The Book market in Joliet. If you like to read, come browse this treasure shop of used and rare books and check out what our authors have written.
If you're a writer, come chat with us and check out our bookcase of information, which will grow and change as time goes on. Learn about what WriteOn Joliet has to offer now and in 2019.
If you're neither but you do like good food and coffee, we'll have a variety of refreshments created by three different local chefs.
And then Saturday, I go into hibernation for the weekend. In the morning, I'm meeting with the editor for Before the Blood to review my chore list. I can't wait to get started!
You will, however, still be able to find me online. Here's where:

Non-bylined features:
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.
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."
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).
Daily updates: I do post the briefs and calendars on Twitter during the week, so you're welcome to follow me at @Denise_Unland61.
BryonySeries stuff: I post curated content relating to the BryonySeries at @BryonySeries. And assorted related content at www.facebook.com/BryonySeries. And of course, please follow the adventures of Bertrand the Mouse on Instagram at bertrand_bryonyseries.
