Words from a Reader

The “Writing Life Stories” e-mails I receive are such treasures. As soon as I see there is one in my inbox, I read it immediately. I look forward to them and never know how they will touch me. They can be interesting, informative, humorous, and/or touching.

Staying home is not all that bad for me.

One would think my weekend alone, seeing no one and going nowhere would be boring. But I am very busy doing things I enjoy.

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.
