Subject: I'm hoping to get in a writers critique group

Right now I am feeling pretty miserable.  I have a bronchial, throat and sinus infection.  Yuck.  A three for one deal.  I haven't had bronchitis in years.  I really have been trying to fight this thing off for about a month now, and it has returned three times.  This time I was smart enough to go get antibiotics.  Now I was told I must rest for a week or so.  I am counting time at the computer as rest!  Well, I will get in bed soon, but have to be on here some of the time, LOL. 

I'm excited today.  I've not mentioned this before but I have been going to a local writers group for a couple of months.  The last meeting there was a panel of leaders from local writers critique groups.  I spoke with one of the leaders after the meeting and she invited me to submit a piece of my work to her.  I wrote something up for her yesterday and emailed it to her.  She emailed me back and said that she would read it to the group (The Christian Roundtable Group) today, and if they felt that they had room for another member, and felt that they should include me (and that I was a good fit), she would contact me.  I am waiting to hear back.  It is kind of daunting, as I have never been part of a critiquing process.  But at the same time, it is very exciting.  I can't wait for her email or call.

Gee, I already have three books I want to write!  Non-fiction of course.  Okay, so I am getting a little ahead of myself here.

Krissy :)

    Be sure to take lots of Vitamin D....flu and colds are up in wintertime because we are not exposed to sunshine, which the primary source of Vitamin D!

    Get well soon! I love your blog!

    I hope you get into the group.  They can work wonders for your writing and by doing critiques for other people, you discover a wealth of info about the craft.  If that doesn't work out, you could also join an online writing network or your could do both! :)

    How exciting!  I'll say a prayer for you about this.  I'm sure God has an exciting play for your life and it could be in the writing field.
    Hugs, Kathy

    Hi Krissy- I hope you feel better soon, but how cool for you to be involved in writing and now maybe critiquing!  That would be great.  God Bless!  Carolyn
