I Blinked...

...and the week was over! Near the end of a hectic work week, I came home this afternoon with the best intentions of a long evening of writing. I sat down on the sofa for a second, closed my eyes...and woke up three hours later! I could have slept through, but I forced myself awake at 8 p.m. I have a hair appointment in the morning, so I can sleep a little later, too.

I joined RWA. I haven't belonged to a single writer's group where "to be a member or not be a member" hasn't been debated. With information that used to only be available via RWA now accessible in other forums (mostly through sites like Romance Divas), I can see that point. I'm not under the allusion that it will get me in any doors just by putting member on my query. However, this is one of those things I have to experience and decide for myself. I've never been much of a joiner, but it's something I've considered for a long time and I'm going to give membership my best effort and see what happens. Maybe it's for me, and maybe not, but it won't be because I went in with my glass half empty and didn't look for benefits or participate. I'll probably join one of the online specialty chapters. I'm still considering the national conference, and I know it's getting down to the wire...but I have friends in the area and can drive down.

Thankfully, things have slowed down at work and I managed to post another chapter of my vintage historical for critique today (thanks for the fast feedback, ladies) and started the next. I want to finish this thing before summer ends--they deserve a happy ending :)
