My Thoughts: when the mood strikes.

Tuesday, October 13, 2009

         This evening I attended a writers group, led by a Moderator, Stacy, with the support of her mother, Paula(?).  After a few meetings, I'll learn everyone's name -- hope, hope, pray, pray.  There were over twelve participants with varying styles and genre's of writing.  Those with whom I am privileged to accompany range from beginner to published author.  It's a wholesome group.  We comment on the context of what is written (as read by its author), not whether or not we like the style or agree/disagree with its intent/belief/philosophy.  Fun.  Fun.  Fun.

         I've also joined a book club and ordered the book yesterday, through Amazon.  If it arrives on time for me to complete it before the monthly meeting (October 20), then I will participate.  Otherwise, I'll read it on my own, invest in the next book, and ready myself for the November meeting.

         I have enrolled in the Writer's Academy as well and plan to take Poetry Device classes, beginning the first of November, via the www.writing.com group of Rising Stars.

         This is a month of renewal and new beginnings for me... all about socializing, becoming more socially-oriented and perfecting my poetry. 

         My day at the office was not a great precursor to my evening ---- had to deal with one vindictive meany and a rude, cranky bully --- both coworkers.  I fumbled through by the grace and mercy of God -- shaken but not broken.  Since my time of the month begins in two days and my emotions/feelings/nerves are quickly rising to the surface.  I hope not to crash and burn.  I'll be walking in the Spirit by the grace of my God... one day at a time.  God be merciful to me, a sinner, determined to stay on His narrow path to glory.

         Have a great week.
