Good morning!
I have twenty stories to share with you this morning - with seven more that haven't posted to The Herald-News website yet.
Just a brief commentary this morning. After deadlines today, I'm spending the rest of the weekend, through late Sunday afternoon, as a writing retreat, hosted by Ralph Walker of the 5amwritersclub Twitter group.
I'm hoping the exercises, workshops, fellowships and "free writing" time will help to move the second book of the BryonySeries Limbo trilogy, Call of the Siren, forward in a significant way.
Now back to the twenty feature stories. Simply click on the link of the story that looks interesting to you. Happy scrolling!
But before the stories, I have a list of additional resources and information. Please check them out, too -
Finally, if you'd like to find more kindness in your life, consider this book.
And have a great Friday!
RECIPE OF THE WEEK
Sue's Diner is a fictional restaurant in the fictional Munsonville that only exists in the BryonySeries.
Each Sunday, we post a new recipe. The recipe is either featured in one of our cookbooks or will be featured in an upcoming cookbook.
Check out the recipe here.
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.
