It's been a long time, but I am finally getting back into my studio, and back to writing. I have several paintings in the works that are in various stages of completion. Last week I was able to spend a couple of hours in the studio, and couldn't decide which painting to work on...the portrait of Charlie, my dog, or the Irish landscape scenic, or the purple pansies...too many choices. I opted to work on the Irish landscape, but not enough so you'd notice. I'll post a picture when I've made more progress.
Meanwhile, today I attended a wonderful writing workshop, sponsored by Clear Creek Writers in Shelbyville, KY. "Confessions of Working Writers II" was led by author Annie Jones, with authors Ann Gabhart, Virginia Smith and Sherry Chandler conducting short breakout sessions throughout the day. The keynote speaker was Laura Resnick, who writes science fiction, romance, fantasy and creative non-fiction. It was a wonderful day, well attended, and I left with a new perspective on my budding writing career. Lots to think about, and you may see some changes in this blog, as I try to incorporate some of the things I learned from these talented writers. Here are some links to the writers and the two writers' groups I belong to. I highly recommend you check them out!

Since I am still here on earth, I guess I wasn't raptured, so please check back in a day or so for more updates!
