Best place to write

Writer's life:

Go to writer's retreat.

Good food and conversation.

Revise several manuscripts.

Read one at the last day's gathering. (We all did a reading of something we had been working on that week.)

Now sending it out.

Crossing fingers and toes that somebody buys it. 

Mothers need wands (and so do kids)

 I just saw a Facebook post where a dad had gone out into the woods, cut a twig from a tree, and painted it as a wand for his kids to give to their mom.  Happy Mother's Day!

It reminded about the time when I had a Harry Potter event at our library and we went out into the nearby woods and cut ourselves and for the children, "wands" from the trees, using mostly dead twigs when we could find them. then went inside the library and practiced levitating balloons with our 'wands."
