Hey, folks, did you know that on May 26 we celebrate “in
case you missed it day.” It’s also national blueberry cheesecake day, cherry
dessert day, and the list goes on and on. I happen to love dark cherries and
blueberries, and I love New York-style cheesecake, sans any toppings. But I
digress…
What I really wanted to talk about was one of the May events
I have missed most in the last few years. As with most writers, I lead a
relatively solitary work life. I hang out at my desk and type all day or
scratch out book idea notes on random scraps of paper or sit on the couch and
read romance novels by my (tons of) favorite authors. And let’s not forget the
Hallmark movies that I can spout the correct dialogue before the actor says a
word. I admit it, the last two years have been a long, long, drawn out marathon
(read that as BINGE) of romance books and movies.
Okay, I do have a life outside of writing. But sometimes it
doesn’t feel like it, since now I also spend at least four weekend days a month,
and several evenings a week, on ZOOM with writing groups.
Interaction—YAY. The pros are I get to attend writing chapter meetings in New Jersey and Rhode Island and near Boston, plus meet with my Maine peeps without leaving my desk. I also get to attend interactive, virtual writing craft and / or business workshops by experts in Seattle or New York City, and anywhere in between. The cons are sometimes I feel maxed out—bleary-eyed from too much screen time on top of the writing time.
To tell you I’m excited would be an understatement. To tell
you how much I miss seeing “my peeps” in person…well, there are no words. I get
to hug (masks on,) and catchup on everyone’s lives, and chat over meals, and
learn from live workshop presenters, and have my annual tumbler of scotch at
happy hour. AND…learn. Learn not from
taped videos or on-line workshops or by reading. But learn by “talking shop,”
live, in-person give-and-take. EXCITED!
Full disclosure, the most people I have been near all at
once in the last two years, for any length of time, was (1) the grocery store,
and (2) my daughter’s wedding. I have turned into an introvert. So, I am trying
to summon up my usual extrovert personality, and hope I have the stamina to
talk to forty-five people for two days straight without imploding. CAN’T WAIT!
What would you
celebrate on “in case you missed it” day (month)?
A HUGE Happy 11th
