It's been a busy week in Lake Woe . . . oops, wrong show. Apologies, Mr. Keillor.But it has been a busy three weeks in Writer-ville. A statewide conference in Sarasota -- I'll tell you all about it and, yes, that's a mustachioed me! -- a week in North Carolina and all the catching up to do once we returned home.
PLUS our church Christmas program is this coming Sonday, December 13, at 9 and 11 a.m., which means a bulletin and PowerPoint to prepare and all the last-minute costumes, mikes, and props to pull together.
Then there's my day job.
"Are you working?" people ask me. What they mean is, "Have you found a job working for somebody else yet?"
OF COURSE I'M WORKING!!!
I'm a freelance, self-employed writer who works at least 40 hours a week and often more. I write ad copy, I'm in the second round of editing a travel guide to the Tampa Bay area, and I write short stories and articles, some of which get published and paid for. Other work I do is along the lines of promoting myself and my work through involvement with a couple of different organizations, and still other work is volunteer work for our church and elsewhere.
But it's all work and I work hard at what I do. I also happen to love what I do and working.
So . . . the next few posts will be to catch up my faithful readers on my whereabouts and activities as I've been gallavanting, cavorting and otherwise carrying on for the last few weeks. It's been a circus -- and more!

Dear Anonymous,
Whoever you are: THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! What an encouraging way to start the day, week, month, year, decade.
A word of praise goes a long way, and I am reminded to "go and do likewise."
What have you started? I wonder.
