Good morning...
Does anyone out there suffer from the type of insomnia where you try to solve the world's problems when you've already gone to bed too late and need to get up extra early? Isn't that the worst?
I haven't done that in a long time, but I did it last night. And I'm paying for it...this morning...zzzzzzzzzzzz...
Oh, coffee, how I love thee this morning.
It's been a super-fast week with back to back writing group meetings (last night and early this morning). I have some deadlines to meet, a meeting, and then I hope to have a meeting of the minds waaaay later today (my mind and the minds of my characters in my new novel "Call of the Siren").
But first, I have eighteen stories to share with you - and two photo galleries the new photographer for The Herald-News: Geoff Stellfox. He's very talented, and I love collaborating with him, so definitely check out his work.
Finally, if you'd like more kindness in your life, here are some reflections where you might find it: Nine Months of Kindness. And maybe I should have included a reflection on, "Don't try to solve the world's problems when you're trying to sleep."
Right? Right!
Have a great Friday!
WRITERS
If you're a writer anywhere in the world, you're welcome to join
WriteOn Joliet's Facebook page. We're based in Joliet, Illinois, but we love to meet and interact with writers outside our area, too.
If you'd like to officially join WriteOn Joliet, we have two tiers of dues. We also have a marketing arm that's getting longer every year, well, except this year. Check us out at
writeonjoliet.com.
If you need support in your writing, I highly recommend this Twitter group: #5amwritersclub. I joined it last year. Writers support each other on Twitter and meet every three weeks at 5 a.m. (4 a.m. CST - needless to say, I am often late!) on Zoom.
