Good morning!
Just eleven stories have posted so far this week, so this morning's blog is a little light.
If you live in The Herald-News' coverage area, be sure to pick up a print copy of the newspaper. It has a full page story on Jermaine Stegall. He is an alumnus of Joliet Central High School - and he also wrote the score for "Coming 2 America" (released today on Amazon Prime) both seasons of "Our Star Wars Stories."
And if you're outside The Herald-News coverage area, watch for it on our site.
This weekend I'm working on incorporating my editor's edits into The Phoenix, which is the first installment in the new BryonySeries trilogy called Limbo. I'm also hoping to play around with the first draft of the second novel, Call of the Siren.
And plenty of walks, of course, especially now that the weather outside is warming up and my broken toe is nearly healed and fitting comfortable inside my shoe.
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.
