I went back to my friend’s writer’s group (2nd visit) last week and followed that up with emailed comments to two members who had submitted full scripts that I have since read. I’m starting to feel a bit like a writer again. I’m also starting to feel not sick again, which is most welcome. If my roommate would ever get the heat fixed, I might be able to sit up and write on the weekends now. As it is, I spent yesterday either wrapped up in a blanket or lying in bed (both trying to keep warm) while reading. It has dipped back down into the 30s at night, so going to the garage to do laundry is less fun than usual. I’d probably have gone crazy by now if not for a little space heater. Anyway, the writer’s group meets over an extended dinner with wine as precursor to lengthy artistic discussions. It’s a good group. We meet again Friday, I think, so I hope to scrounge up a few pages of an existing script to submit for consideration and discussion. Time to get back in the fray. Amazing how different the world can look when you have your health.

For the first 19 years of my life I woke up every winter morning to a house with a temp in the 50′s, and there was no getting warm unless we ran around in winter coats until the logs were burning in the woodstoves again. And it is still the sole heating source at that house today. Needless to say I never had many sleepover guests from November to March.
That sounds like one fantastic writers group. How I envy you active crafters!
P.S. Get better soon!
YAY for feeling better and getting busy on the writing!!!! Good to hear that things are just a bit better!
Goodness, I definitely hope you get your heat fixed ASAP. It’s been sub temps here at night -2 to -6 so I don’t even want to imagine life without my heater. {{{Shivers}}} I hope you get to feeling better soon and I hope you are able to get back to your writing as well. Enjoy your week!
Hope your felling bettter
I used to write poetry and somehow have closed off to it over the years…I hope to pick it up again some day. I also like this profile pic of you, I can better picture the person I’m conversing with.
I’m so glad you’re on the upswing. Praying for a continued and speedy recovery!! The writer’s group sounds GREAT…. it really sounds like you have a good thing going for you!!!
