This is the question that has been foremost in my mind for the past few weeks. I decided that when I moved to Spokane I would connect to people by finding writing groups. I've found the local chapter of the RWA (yay!), but still haven't found a Christian fiction writers group.
What's that about?
Surely I'm not the only Christian fiction writer in Spokane.
The one group I did find meets during the day. Not a good time for a homeschool mom.
On-line groups are great, but there's something much more intimate and fun about meeting people face to face. The exchange of ideas, of creative energy helps me renew as a writer.
On a completely different note...my dog is in love with the cow next door. Or maybe the cow is in love with my dog. Today, I was out walking in the yard and the cow was watching intently as Rushmore raced after me. Seconds later, the cow let out a very deep bellow. To me, it sounded like unrequited love. Then again, I'm not so great at cow-speak. If I wrote LI, I'd think that would be a perfect way for heroine and hero to meet - over a lovesick cow and puppy.
What does the picture of a heart-shaped rock have to do with any of this? My son found the rock in our field. Without showing it to me, he went inside and wrote "I love you" on it. Then he brought it out and handed it to me. Which has nothing to do with anything except how very sweet my ten-year-old is!

Now see, Shirlee, if you'd have moved to Indiana you'd have dozens of Christian Fiction writer friends. LOL. We have a very active group that gets together quite often. Writing is such a lonely business we need our friends to chat with. :) Don't we have any ACFW people near there?
How precious your son is. Don't you just want to squeeze the daylights out of him? =)
