Thanks to Alex and this month's fabulous co-hosts; -Jacqui Murray, Lisa Buie-Collard, Sarah Foster, Natalie Aguirre, and Shannon Lawrence
I've been trying to add words to my WIP this month. I've added some but not as many as I'd hoped for one reason or another. Ah well, progress is progress I guess however small.
In other writing news I was very excited to have a manuscript longlisted in the WriteMentor Children's novel. Will have to wait and see if it goes any further in the competition but it certainly gives a nice boost.
I have been looking for a writing group to join for some time. I live in quite a rural area and opportunities are not abundant. However, I spotted a few lines about a new group starting the following week in the local paper and so decided to go along. First meeting was on Monday. It's nice to meet some like minded people so hopefully the group will be a success. I was brave and read out some of my work and we have a writing exercise to complete for the next session in a couple of weeks time. I will look forward to it.
March 4 question - Other than the obvious holiday traditions, have you ever included any personal or family traditions/customs in your stories?
After having given this question some thought I can't really think of any family traditions that have made their way into my writing. Not consciously anyway, maybe some small details have slipped in somewhere over the years!
Thank you for stopping by and reading my post. I will hop around some blogs and see what you have all been up to.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Chrys it is very exciting!
DeleteThat's awesome on the longlist. And that you found a local group.
ReplyDeleteYes, some nice positive things to celebrate.
DeleteHow nice to find a writing group. I like online groups but it's not the same as that physical see-hear stuff. I hope it works out.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jacqui

Thanks, hoping to will continue to be a good chance to meet up.
DeleteI’ve just started a writing group, but because of the Coronavirus this will have to only hold’ for a while. But good luck with the writing group you have joined, hope you continue to enjoy this experience.
ReplyDeleteGood point, I'm sure this will have an effect on lots of things in the short term.

ReplyDeleteI hope so, Pat.
DeleteCongratulations on the manuscript long list. Happy IWSG day.
ReplyDeleteThank you and thanks for the visit.
DeleteMyself, I don't tend to do well with writing groups. I'm too much of a hermit. Congratulations on the manuscript!
ReplyDeleteI understand that feeling. Thank you for your visit.
DeleteCongrats about your manuscript Suzanne. Hope all goes well.

Tara Tyler Talks
Hi Tara, yes unfortunately the group hasn't been able to meet again but we are trying to arrange something online until we can meet up again. Best wishes to you.
DeleteHi Suzanne - so pleased you've found a new group ... and presumably you can continue online - oh yes I see you're looking at life that way. Take care and hope 'this thing' is staying away from you and yours ... all the best - Hilary
ReplyDeleteHi Hilary, lovely to hear from you. We are hoping to continue online in some way. We are staying well at the moment but life is very different for all of us right now. Hope you are ok too.
DeleteHope you find a good writing group. It's so important to have writers in your life, and to have those who can help you.
