Well, ever since Saturday, I have been at the Antioch Writer's Workshop and having a good time with fellow writers, published and unpublished. It has truly been a good week and tomorrow is the last day. Between time with Crystal Wilkinson to Sigrid Nunez, along with fun with my friends, John and Nancy, I am pleased to say that I learned a great deal about my writing and about myself.
I am a writer and I have always been a writer. I use humor to cover up tough topics, a typical mechanism for many people. But, the biggest thing I learned is that I do need to write the books about the tough topics, just that I can approach these tough topics through third person. SO, this writer is going to continue to practice her craft and practice and practice and practice. They say that the first million words is just practice, so, I just want to apologize to all the trees that I have killed, I will do my best to leave behind a legacy of good writing.
