Writing Talk



The Questions
 
I have loose ends floating about, so thought I'd share some questions
and a few links to close out the week.

How much do you talk about writing? 

Do you discuss it with family, or reserve 
those conversations for writer friends?


The Links
 
The Write to Ignite Summer Conference, entitled A Day Apart, is July 30, 2011 
in NC. Christian YA/Children's writers invited.

Florida's Sanibel Island Writer's Conference, November 3-6, 2011, is for writers 
of all levels and genres.

Flathead River Writer's Conference, Kalispell, MT, October 1-2, 2011, 
all writers are invited.


So, how much writing talk floats about your home?

Have a wonderful weekend!
Karen
