And…I’m back! I had a wonderful time away. I was actually gone only from Friday morning to Monday morning (thank you, red-eye from San Francisco!). But they were days packed with friends and family, good times and good food, and, of course, some gorgeous scenery.
So now I’m back in New York, working hard in my new “day job” and balancing (or trying to balance) everything else. Hopefully, you’ve already seen the latest issue of The Practicing Writer, which went out to subscribers on Monday. (Believe it or not, I’m already hard at work on the October edition.) And, hopefully, I’ll have some other news to share with you soon!
Hello, friends. No, I’m not going fishing. But I am taking a long Labor Day weekend trip, and there’s a lot happening in my world this week as it is, and so this will be the last blog post for about a week.
I’ll be returning home early next Monday morning, and I expect to get the September issue of The Practicing Writer out to subscribers that day.
Wishing you all a happy, healthy, and peaceful several days.
Monday brings the weekly batch of no-fee competitions/contests, paying submission calls, and jobs for those of us who write (especially those of us who write fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction).
In which I participate in David Abrams’s “Sunday Sentence” project, sharing the best sentence I’ve read during the past week, “out of context and without commentary.”
“They didn’t seem to understand—they were too entitled to understand—that the production of great literature requires a deep engagement with great literature.”
