Fog out my bedroom window at 7 a.m. this morning before I went to market. This is my "writing window."Ok, I'm going to get better about the blog. I don't do facebook, but am totally stuck and sold on Twitter -- found a community of women writers and we support each other. Vicky, you need to get attached to the cobweb.
Friends have a great blog on writing tips: http://www.murderati.com/ -- my friend Louise Ure and Cornelia Read among others.
Tonight having dinner with new friend Alice and we are going to try and start a writing "group" -- just to have goals and deadlines. Otherwise I languish in dreams with little reality here.
Book is at Reece Halsey right now being looked at -- sometime in the next couple of months -- by Kimberley Cameron (http://www.kimerberleycameron.com/) so will have some solid feedback. Still fixing typos and the like in the complete manuscript (she has first 43 pages). It's all a process.
Since Indiana, did a book conference (where I gave Kim the book), a work conference, spent 4th of July at the old Mendocino property with the tribe and the ex husband (yes, it was totally weird).
Work is ok, but last week was like trudging through sludge. Spat of depression I suspect. So will work through it this weekend....tomato and avocado salad and gnocchi for dinner party tonight. Lots of wine. Should wash out all the bad juju.

Sorry it took me so long to see this - had given up checking the blog. Am coming into the city with Terry on Wednesday I think. Are you still in town? Love, Lisa
I was thinking about you during the 4th weekend, wondering if Mendacino was going to be weird. Oh well. I hope you swa valued friends there.
Since Indy I've read Final Cut, Bird by Bird (am now a fan of Anne Lamott an am reading Traveling Mercies)plus several other books. I am binge-reading and it feels marvelous. Concerning writing I have been procrastnating and hand-wringing and thinking, but not taking action. If you read my next blog post it may make some sense.
You have totally inspired me and I feel delightfully in your debt. Keep nagging me to write. In the meantime I'm going to get some, er, "help" so that I can walk through that threshold.
