A new year of writing

I hope you're having a great summer.  It's been hot (nearly 100 degrees) for the past few days here in Florida.  Not that I don't love it.  We Floridians know we have to go through the heat and humidity to reach the other side.  The other side being the sultry days in late August, September and October.

In any case, this Tuesday, July 31 at 6:15 PM, we will start our second year of the Callahan Creative Writing Workshop.  I look forward to hearing everyone's updates on their summer writing goals.  I met all three of mine.

My first goal was to enter the Guideposts writing contest, which I did.  My second goal was to enter the Books of Hope writing contest, which I also did.  I found out not too long ago I am a finalist in the Books of Hope fiction contest.  My third goal was to pitch my inspirational romance to an editor or agent, which I did back in late June.  

Our new year starts officially on Tuesday, August 7.  We'll meet for 6 Tuesday nights, take a 2-week break, and then meet for 6 more Tuesday nights.  That will take us up to the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.

I'll work on a spring meeting schedule soon.
