It’s been a while since I’ve posted. Happily, I’ve been busy writing. Seat to the seat and “never a day without a line” and all that (see earlier posts).
And now I’m looking up from my work-which-is-not-work and wondering about you.
What are you up to? What have you written lately? What characters are chattering away in your head? What bit of nonfiction is niggling to be explored and expressed? What thread wants to be followed? What scene has spread itself out before you and waits for you to get it down?
Writers can’t not write. Odd little sentence, I know. But, isn’t it the truth?
Let this be a brief and gentle reminder. No one else can give your gifts to the world. No one else can tell your stories. Why not put pen to paper or fingers to keyboard right now. Let go and let it flow.
Let us know when you can what you’re up to; then get back to your masterpiece of the moment. Surprises await just a few paragraphs ahead. Write your way to them …

Hi Mary Lou, like you I was apprehensive and unmotivated to attend PechaKucha…unfortunately I was one of the speakers. I had absolutely, no idea what I had agreed to doing….I was pleasantly surprised. Making new friends such as you, with interesting backgrounds and talent!! Thank you for reaching out to me and sharing your blog!!

Jane, you were truly inspiring! The photos were breathtaking and your discussion of them was wonderful. I was just telling a friend about you today and that reminded me to look you up and send a message your way. One of these days, I may put in to do a presentation at a future PechaKucha. Blessings upon your work with our feathered friends, large and small. I so enjoyed meeting them and hearing your story.
