Conference
The Mississippi Writer's Guild conference was August 3-4 in Raymond, Miss. I wish you all could have been there. I learned some, made some new friends, and the contact buzz I got from writiness of it was awesome.
Novelist Joshilyn Jackson and me, at Pentimento Books in Clinton, Miss.
Joshilyn gave a rousing and funny opening address that was inspiring and motivating (the jist of which was: Write, then write some more. Write what you like. Write what you love. Then? Write some more!). She also led two workshops, which I took. One was about great opening lines and what makes them great. It was very informative.
I am working on (deep breath) a novel. A mystery. I feel altogether uncertain and downright squeamish about how I don't know what I'm doing. But we've been plotting and now it's time to write.
What are you working on?

Hi, Keetha. I'm working on a novel, several short stories and a couple of essays... all in various stages of development. What a joy! Love your blog and loved meeting you at the MWG Conference last weekend! Good luck with the mystery.
