THINK SPRING: Upcoming Writing Events

Dear Alison and friends, It's Friday. It's March 10. It's snowing outside, and I can't stop thinking about spring. I blame that warm spell a few days ago. I love the snow. You know I do, but that beautiful weather was a tease, a terrible, awful tease. Actually worse than a tease. It was a torment, but there's hope. In a little over 36 hours, we enter Daylight Savings. In less than two weeks, it will officially be Spring (whether Mother Nature likes it or not), and a few days after that the Spring Writing Workshop and Conference season begins.  UPCOMING SPRING WRITING WORKSHOP AND CONFERENCE CALENDAR: March 25th :  (You and I will be presenting at this one!

STARR FALL BOOK LAUNCH PARTY

Dear Alison,  I'm still in the afterglow from Starr Fall's Book Launch on Sunday. My family and friends gathered at Mountaintop Lodge for an afternoon celebration. First, I had a surprise guest. Actually, it was really a surprise because I didn't have my glasses on and I was like, "Oh, someone's early for my party." Then I put on my glasses, and it was DONNA BOOCK all the way from FLORIDA.  Donna surprised me!! We cried. Well, I cried!! So many special things happened Sunday. One of them was your speech. You made me all weepy--I'm glad I went first because I almost didn't get through my speech without all your praises swirling around my brain! (Being called a Bull is a praise, right?) Sunday allowed my universes to collide. Here are my BFFs all wrapped up in a hug--Do you see my tentacles wrapping around and reaching out to all my people? KIM'S UNIVERSE IN ONE PLACE! Lorraine, Alison, Kim, Donna, and Jen Isabel Bandeira...
