I will attend the Georgia Poetry Society meeting online tomorrow. I will see friends and other poets I haven't seen in a long time. It starts at 10 AM, and I am often just getting up at that time, but I will be sure to be there.
In the afternoon, I will do a telephone interview with a graduate student, working on a thesis, who has some questions for me. This young woman is related to my old friend, Darnell Arnault, who recommended she contact me. I am usually doing the interviews, but this time I will be the interviewee.
I will work on my lesson for Monday's writing class sponsored by the Institute of Continuing Learning at Young Harris college. I am teaching a memoir class on Zoom, and we are all having a great time. I can see myself holding more classes online in the coming months. If you are interested in taking a class, no matter where you live, contact me. See contact info on side bar.
I will be hosting Writers' Night Out in August with our special guest, Carol Crawford, so I will also be busy sending out invitations for that evening and taking names for our Open Mic that night.
Although technology seems to be changing rapidly, I am keeping up somewhat with learning new methods to teach.
I have signed up for a Tech Class online and hope to learn more about all this new and rapidly moving business. I am so, so happy that some of our older folks are teaching people like me online. I love to learn and this is a great opportunity. I am taking advantage of this hateful virus to improve myself, to learn new things, and meet new people.
I hope you are finding staying home can be a good thing. I miss some things, but am trying to find new and better ways to enjoy life. Stay safe, my friends, and make each day a good one.

Technology and the speed with which it changes continues to intimidate me. Well done you for staying on top of it.
ReplyDeleteAs a chronic introvert home is fine for me. There are things I miss, but my safety and the safety of people I love takes precedence without question.
Stay well, stay safe.
I am trying to make each day a good one during this trying time. It's getting to be hard to find things to do to keep myself occupied. I miss being more active. Thank heavens for the internet! :-)
ReplyDeleteDJan, I know it must be difficult for you because you are such an active person and you meet with others who are the same. My activity is two days a week physical therapy visits with the best therapists who keep me moving and on my toes. Yes!Thank heavens for the Internet.
ReplyDeleteEC, you can take classes online and learn so much about technology and the latest changes. My instructor will allow me to call him and ask questions. He has a background in this stuff and knows so much. Because of this class, I am going to drop a service I have been paying for that is very poor. He has given me alternatives to use.
ReplyDeleteYou can learn more. Maybe I can get him to teach this class for Writers Circle if we have enough people around the world who want to take it.
I know you are one who is fine with being home and doing your own thing. Good for you.
