Loved seeing how everyone took in the same event and used it to leverage their writing career/journey right where they were at that moment. Excellent, ladies.

LOL.<br /><br />Nichole -- I'm going to ask Cathy Maxwell if she'll guest blog her send-off here on the R8. It's just too good to be missed. And thank you, for the encouragement. :-)Evie Owenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00309651867249109418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115759973832197426.post-81533977889197669022013-04-30T13:24:53.001-04:002013-04-30T13:24:53.001-04:00So sorry to have missed Cathy Maxwell's send-o...So sorry to have missed Cathy Maxwell's send-off particularly. Been hearing good things about it all over cyberspace. But I'm especially glad her presentation is helping my R8 babes head in the direction they want to go.<br /><br />Evie, your summation of Cathy's talk reminds me of that old saying from the--ahem--1980's. Of course we were mere darling babies then. But so were computers and the phrase: garbage in, garbage out. Makes sense to me.<br /><br />Here's to all of us putting good things--not broken bits--into our hearts and souls.<br /><br />And here's to getting good things out.<br /><br />PS-Yay on the writing exercise, Evie! Go, go, girl!Nichole Christoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09799006710672537142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115759973832197426.post-16707393294722153062013-04-29T14:43:07.921-04:002013-04-29T14:43:07.921-04:00Go Evie Go!!

And yes, Keely, it...Thanks for the kudos, Shellie!<br /><br />And yes, Keely, it's a mystery for SURE. I mean, I KNOW, I totally GET, why it's a struggle to make myself get on the treadmill over and over. But why oh why is it such a struggle to develop a steady writing practice?<br /><br />Evie Owenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00309651867249109418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115759973832197426.post-47278674227513247592013-04-29T09:44:09.296-04:002013-04-29T09:44:09.296-04:00Boo-yeah!
When I'm off the writing wagon and...Boo-yeah! <br /><br />When I'm off the writing wagon and struggling to reboard, I'm always amazed by how much I enjoy writing. Why did I stop if I like it so much? How come it's still difficult to make it a habit when I feel good for having done it? A mystery, for sure. <br /><br />But I'm with you, Evie. Action begets emotion. Don't like your emotion? Make a move, take a chance, act! Baby steps are still steps and steps lead to 3.5 miles on the treadmill and finished stories ready for readers. May the universe reward your action!Keely Thrallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05656529091898492453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115759973832197426.post-981726568318402422013-04-29T09:27:55.189-04:002013-04-29T09:27:55.189-04:00Wow!
