I see my last blog post was on June 12th. It’s been a very busy summer.
My daughter goes back to school next week, and many summer events are just about over, so I should be able to blog more frequently starting after next Wednesday.
Summertime is very important for me. I get to enjoy the long days, observe people out and about, see the crops going, and travelling as much as I can. All these things recharge my writer brain.
Although the recession appears severe, I do think in many ways it is improving, especially for writers. I notice more and more of them are using social media now, to improve their writing networking and sales. It’s really a huge advantage for me, since I definitely don’t hear well.
Also, I’m hearing more and more reports about people moving and getting new jobs. The stock market is going up and down, and my husband (a long time securities advisor) thinks that is a positive sign.
Now is the time for everyone to take stock of themselves and plan for the fall season. I took my daughter in for a checkup this morning, and she’s good to go for the new school season. This year, she’ll be a junior in high school.
For me, I’m getting ready to go back to writing, reading and researching. My husband and I are considering purchasing a new computer, to improve my writing output. I’m pretty thrilled about that.
Finally, the best piece of summer writing news: I’m pleased to report my book proposal about hearing loss passed the second level of editorial scrutiny. I should know in the fall sometime if I’m given the green light to write the book that everyone wants to read.
Fall season is always an exciting time, and I really can’t wait for it to start.
