Enjoying Some Friends
Wonderful Dinner Tonight…
Got my five miles in today, had a great meeting for WMG this afternoon, then spent some time doing Smith’s Monthly covers.
Then my best friend and I went out to dinner. He and his wonderful wife are in town for the week and it has been great fun hanging around with them. I have known him now for 53 years and he has put up with me and supported my craziness for all that time.
So by the time I got home it was almost 11. I did some e-mail, watched some television, then did some more Strengths Workshop homework and read some wonderful stories from those in the Short Story Challenge starting in May.
Then I finished up the Magic Bakery chapter I have been dreading writing. It is above this.

MAJOR WRITING BUNDLE
Just leaving this post here because this only has about a week left. Don’t miss this one.
Amazing stuff for only $15 or $20 bucks. And AbleGamers is the charity on this bundle, which is one of the best causes I have ever seen.
Authors in this are Mary Buckham, Tonya D. Price, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Lawrence Block, me, Maggie McVay Lynch, Leah Cutter, Chuck Heintzelman, and Joanna Penn. Plus a $50 lecture from WMG, a discount to get Jutoh, and a discount to all the stuff at a Writer’s Cafe.
You can get it all for $15.00 or $20.00 and give some to AbleGamers. If you are serious about learning your craft and business of writing, this is about as cheap as it comes, folks.
