I'm back from an inspiring conference at The Loft in Minneapolis, a visit with relatives nearby, and a happy Mother's Day dinner with our sons on the way home. Yes, I am sitting in my new chair--or as Jane said, back in the saddle! Marti, the presentation went well & continued into overtime with a good discussion about many aspects of writing. Linda, yes, I hope the chair will keep on being a reminder of all the young reasons I write. Jan, I'm glad you liked the poem. Join me in the New Chair Club! Bobbi, I'll have to work on that photo!JoAnn Early Mackenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17812079420917080829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-60545318316411443862016-05-08T21:25:34.027-05:002016-05-08T21:25:34.027-05:00Thank you for joining in our Poetry Friday gatheri...Thank you for joining in our Poetry Friday gathering. I can totally relate to your musings about your chair-- being valued-- being surprised by royalties-- by needing something practical that also supports your dreams!
