And in utter defiance to the 19 degrees we had here this morning and the snow that fell yesterday along with the hail and sprinkles of sunshine, I am going to have pictures of my favorite spring flower on the blog.
Think it will encourage our weather??
THINK POSITIVE. It will! :-)
So, let's find out what is up on the Alley for this coming week. (sunshine pleaseeeee)
The laptop is a distraction, email, Facebook, blogging, what's a writer to do? Angie has suggestions, and one that might actually surprise you.
Need a Self-Editing Check list handy, you are sure to forget something while running through that manuscript. Sarah is starting her new series here on the Alley on Wednesday.
Ever find yourself in those moments between writing the new WIP and editing the last? Wendy knows just what you are talking about! Check out her post on Thursday for tips on that very subject.
Friday brings with it Cindy's sweet smile and writing tips on how to plot your novel and a list of steps to give your new ideas!

Have a GREAT weekend from those on the Alley to you!
(And may Spring SPRING soon! :-)
Great weekend post, Case.
ReplyDeleteAnd YES - ready for spring!
I hope to attend BRMCWC as a day guest this year - we'll see. Maybe I can give another inside scoop :-)
Good luck to all Genesis and Frasier entrants.
Woohooo!!! Go Alley Cats!!!!
Spring? You mean there's another season besides winter?
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for sharing those. The fragrance is filling the room.
At the last minute I decided not to enter the Genesis. I couldn't get the scene to work the way I wanted it to. I think I have it worked out now and I'm looking forward to entering the Frasier.
Sounds like a great line-up for the week. Can't wait!
It's sunny here in the Sierra Foothills of California today with a high of 61º expected. I just took a peek at the lilacs in my backyard, and they are already budding out. I'm eager to bury my nose in their fragrant blooms a few weeks from now, while dodging the bees, of course.
ReplyDeleteI'm planning to attend the ACFW conference and look forward to seeing several Alley Cats. =)
PEPPER, YES GO, GO, GO!!
ReplyDeleteJILLIAN, thanks for stopping by! :)
CHRISTINE, ugh I know. Especially where I live it is SO like that! Best of wishes in the Frasier, you will benefit!
KELI, oh I'm hoping to go this year, we'll see if God provides a way. :) And oh, send some of that sunshine my way, puleeease?? :)
I love Spring! I won't rub your nose in the beautiful weather we're having here where I live, which I won't say b/c, like I said, no nose rubbing. :P
ReplyDeleteI'm giong to the ACFW conference this year! Yay and PTL! I didn't think it would happen, but now it seems God is guiding the way...and early enough not to make me stress about it. Whew!
Well it warmed up here suddenly, we are having very wet weather. Lots of deep puddles for the kids to jump in.
ReplyDeleteLooking through the looking glass at your weather Julia, Ralene, and Keli, waiting for it to blow this way.
ReplyDeleteThis week is full of great info. I can't wait to read each post:)
Thanks for the encouraging photos, Casey.
RALENE, YAY for you!! That is really awesome how God is moving for you. :)
ReplyDeleteJULIA, it's wet here too. Rain this morning and snow this afternoon. Sigh. I am determined to not let it bother me...much.
MARY, I love lilacs. They always cheer me up. :)
Just popping in from Australia to say hello. We'll be keeping an eye on your posts to find more interesting competitions. If any of your members are interested in free Aussie inspirational books, they can come and say hi.
ReplyDeleteThanks:-)
