One writer friend of mine is inviting all the writers she knows for a happy hour at her house. So I grabbed a couple of my writer friends (one of whom already knows this writer) so we can all go together.
I don’t know how much writing we’ll talk but it’ll be good to hang with each other and start thinking about how I can smush my writing into in my messy, busy, ridiculous everyday life.
I looked over my chapter outline for my hasn’t-been-touched-for-days book proposal and just hated the hell out of it. I slapped my head and asked myself what in the HELL I was thinking so now I want to rethink it. But there’s a lot I want to do and I feel disconnected from it all.
But writers! Peer pressure can be a Very Good Thing so I’m especially looking forward to tonight even though it is COLD out there and staying home in my jammies sounds appealing too.

Nice to connect with another writer coping with reality!
that sounds awesome- is she a famous novelist or what? I wanna come next time! xo
Jennifer, that is so nice of Katie!! I’ve known her for (counting) 9 years now? And she’s always been really supportive of my writing efforts!!!!
Dawn,
It was great to meet you at Writers, Writers Everywhere. In fact, I think that’s the new name of our gathering! Thanks for your blogging advice, it was much appreciated.
