One of the cool and unanticipated outcomes of attending OSC Boot Camp is that I have gained admittance to Codexwriters.com – a private online enclave of published writers. And they are amazingly fun to read. Unfortunately, it really is a private thing, so I can’t tell you any of what I’ve read there. You’ll just have to go become a published writer and join it yourself.

But one thing codexwriters does is post a little picture by each comment. And my husband asked if I was on facebook. So I wandered over to my facebook and found a few friends. Facebook is really neat. Don’t let those young folks hoard it to themselves.

So I’m playing hooky from writing a story that I plan to submit to Writers of the Future (must be postmarked NLT midnight Sunday (effectively 2300 Saturday)). The world concept occurred to me a few weeks ago, but it took a while for a compelling story to grow on me enough to write. More about WOTF later.

But now to link you to blog happiness – Jake Freivald has performed his literary surgery on one of my pieces – a bit of historical fiction derived from the life of my great grandparents. I figured out the possible tale behind the dates and published story a few months ago. Check it out at:

Now of to consume food and give birth to a story.
