She is here in spirit if not in body...or maybe it's the other way around, who knows

I've neglected blogging recently, but hey, it's "an audience of me," so I shouldn't worry, right? ;)

Just wanted to tell all my readers (Hi, Gail, Teri, Mom, Heather...) I am still alive because you didn't know that, right? Well, maybe not Heather because I didn't talk to her once today. That's an oddity in and of itself.

Went on vacation for a week and a half, and though I've been back for a week, I haven't been in the blogging mood. I've spent a lot of time reading, sleeping, and worrying about my writer's conference decision (which, it turns out, is San Diego, contrary to my thoughts several weeks ago.) Oh, and trying to get some work done, too, which is crazy as always due to its volatile nature. (And I mean that in the very nicest way.)

Here's hoping I'll be back at blogging more soon. The San Diego decision means I need to kick my own bohonkus (which was six pounds bigger after Chicago, but is now three less, for a current net gain of three) toward the finish line on TF faster than ever.

My short story is also coming along nicely...I have written the beginning and the end. It's the middle that always gets ya, they say.
