Don't Blink--You Might Miss Something

Happy Monday Everybody,

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter and a fantastic weekend!

Mine was pretty good. Friday I went to Good Friday service (very nice). Saturday morning I had an NWHRWA meeting and Sunday was cooking, Mass and hanging out with my husband and kid. So all in all it was a good weekend.

A couple of things...

The NWHRWA hosts a Conference every year (generally in October, which is when it is this year). Details are on the website. Last year's conference with Todd Stone was awesome, so if you all around around the Texas area, or can travel down to Houston/Spring/Tomball area, mark your calendars for Oct. 16th (I think it's more than one day).

Also, the Lone Star Contest is in full swing. Check details here.

There's always cool things happening at the NWHRWA. Gonna have a lawyer come talk to us (in May)...this past meeting we had a creativity coach. I mean there's always something happening.

Also, like I've said before, writer's groups are great for us authors. We get to interact, network, get feedback, brain storm and at least at the NWHRWA have an awesome time. Don't live near the area...there's always a chance there's an RWA chapter near you.

Awhile back I found this really cool blog for Mystery writers. I just think the title is so funny. It's called Hey, There's A Dead Guy In The Living Room. I don't write mysteries, but they've got some ideas on there that could probably help authors of all different genres.

If you haven't seen this picture on icanhascheezburger.com (LOLCats) you're missing out. It's so funny. If I hadn't been sitting down I might've fallen down I laughed so hard. Anyway, check it out, it's fun.

Anyway, Happy Easter everyone!


Have A Merry Monday!
