Progressing

While time is flying by, ideas are flying through my head. I can’t stop writing... the plotlines keep coming.

Summer. Where did spring go? No use looking for it - pretty soon, it will be here again and I will be wondering where the past year went.

I’m happy to share that one of my FaithWriter challenge pieces was selected as their Best of the Best for their 2008/2009 year. Very exciting and what an honor. While I enter the challenges to polish my writing and enjoy the weekly motivation, it’s a great thrill to have accomplished this.

Beyond Yesterday has a new title: Discovering the Dawn. It has been edited and the text is ready. A cover picture has been chosen and now the design work begins. I’m still hoping to see this in print by the end of the summer.

In the meantime, I have joined the Southwest Iowa Writers Guild. After the honor of being the guest speaker once, I have attended another meeting as a member and enjoyed it very much. I’m looking forward to more interaction with the other writers, and also taking part in a newspaper column that the Guild will write for. I’m anxious to see what other opportunities will spring from this.

The start of July signals that my vacation is coming up. I can’t wait to see a best friend of mine - it will have been almost a year since we saw each other last. It seems too long anymore.

Early summer has brought on horseback riding and it’s been fun. Thankfully my hip has been doing well and wearing a knee brace keeps that pain to a minimum. I hope that my physical improvement will continue.

Until next time... I will be continuing the adventure of life. I will post again soon and will give an update on Discovering the Dawn.
