Home again, home again

It's a dog-eat-dog-treat world here at home again. But after spending a long weekend with people who get it, I'm feeling like myself again. How is it that 2000 women can invade a hotel and the estrogen levels don't make me crazy? It's because we were all united by writing, The Magic of it all.

I have so many stories I'd love to share, but not nearly enough time. Why? Because something clicked this weekend. For all the time I spend in my day job, I loathe work meetings and company-sponsored conferences. This weekend, I didn't want my own personal writing/therapy retreat to end. I can recreate the feelings I had, the hopes and dreams and desires, the a-ha! moments, all of it, by writing. And that's what I'm going to do. I wrote a couple paragraphs last night. I've written a page tonight. And I'm not going to stop until I'm done, and then I'm going to edit and move on to the next story. I'm going to observe life around me, seeking inspiration in the joys and the pains of everyday life.

They say shoe, sex, and job chick-lit is a tough market now. With that in mind, I'm re-thinking MQLC while typing away at Athena's Girls. Hopefully I'll have something good to show for it in a few months. :)

In other news, look closely at this picture:

You'll see it reappear soon over at the Alphabet Girls blog, and you'll have a chance to win a book or two that I just happen to have lying around if you can correctly identify what this is (or come up with a darn good creative idea of what it might be). My fellow Nationals friends know what's hidden in the picture, so they won't be eligible to win. ;)
