I wrote another article!
I've had an idea for an article germinating within for the last week or two. Finally today it came into fruition. The article contains information I wish people would consider before calling Child Protective Services to make unnecessary reports of marginal suspicions of abuse or neglect. I'm planning to submit it to a local newspaper, then revise and seek wider distribution in areas outside this county.I also revised chapter nine of Escape From Walker City.
Earlier tonight we had our first evening meeting of the Klamath River Writers Club. Until now, we met on Monday afternoons. To include others who work days, we're meeting at night once monthly from now on. We were each supposed to bring something to read. I was in a hurry and grabbed my practice-writing notebook. When I got to the meeting I looked through it and didn't want to share anything. I felt like it was all "bad" writing... plus novel outlines and worldbuilding pages. Finally I decided to read a memoir I wrote about my paternal grandmother and the one conversation I had with her in private not long before she passed away. It has been 40 years, but that conversation meant a lot to me. I think my reading turned out fine - I just worried too much about it beforehand. Everyone seemed moved by the memoir and it brought out deeply cherished memories in others.
