Since the beginning of September I've learned and re-learned a few things I thought I'd share with you all: 1. Do not go to the post office at 11 a.m. on a Saturday morning.
2. Do not go to the post office the day before a long weekend.
3. It is easy to misinterpret what is said in an e-mail.
4. WordPress hates me. No matter how many times I try to post comments they usually don't show up.
5. A good friend is a blessing.
6. A good friend who is a writer and who understands you is a double blessing.
7. Getting together with writing friends is relaxing--and invigorating.
8. Book signings are fun.
9. Book signings at bars are more fun. (See photo above of Bill Mueller, Lou Turner, and Michael Flynn at the Boom Boom Room in St. Charles.)
10. Buying books at book signings to give as gifts helps writers succeed and makes the friends who receive them very happy.
