| Summer and me, at Starbucks |
Yesterday, I had a GREAT day. I met Summer (...and this time, concentrate!) for coffee! Not cyber-coffee, either. Actual hot beverages, enjoyed face-รก-face, outside the blogosphere in the land of flesh-and-blood. Those of you lucky enough to have met with writer/bloggers know how thrilling it is to sit across from a 3-D version of your blogger bud's profile photo, to hear her voice, and to talk in depth about writing and about life in general. It was nothing short of awesome!
I don't have a great deal of support of my writing in my life. English is my husband's second language, and he has no desire to struggle through my stories. He's fine with me writing, as long as I don't do it when he's home. I can live with that. My kids are very proud of my accomplishments, but they complain incessantly if they are home and I'm "on the boring computer." Friends listen when I bring up my writing, but very soon their eyes glass over, and I know it's time to change the subject. It was really, really nice to sit with Summer (for two and a half hours!!) and talk about our projects, our short and long term goals, what it would mean to be published, or not. I'm looking forward to many more chats!
And, I feel energized to get writing. Thanks for that, Summer:)
I hope everyone's enjoying their week so far. Happy Hump Day, everyone!
