Wednesday - Mary's gearing us up for the retreat with a Pre-retreat post
Thursday - Krista's writing about how to get ready for publication.
Friday - And Casey's still trying to figure out what she's going to blog about along with Pepper. It's a surprise :-)

Does anyone else have this problem?
ReplyDeleteI read books but I never get around to posting reviews. I don't always want to write a review (I'm not sure glowing reviews by friends for another friend's book carries much weight for me)
BUT --- I read Krista's book and I really need to write a review. Seeing it in the very pink photo reminded me!
And I need to catch up on your posts that I missed this week.
oh- I was a semi-finalist too! Finally broke through. I don't know how you feel, Casey, but I am happy to be 'here' but will go into some kind of shock if I go into the finals. And so the disappointment will be there but it won't last long.
Have a great week, Alley Cats!
I LOVE knowing so many semi-finalists in the Genesis!!!! :) It's fun to celebrate with writing friends. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd Alley Cats, thank you so much for the win! I'm really looking forward to reading Julie's book. :)
And I'm trying not to turn green with jealousy at y'alls retreat next weekend. ;) You'll have such a fabulous time together. :)
As my son would say, Go for Casey!
ReplyDeleteV-hugs and chocolate to all my Alley pals, I'll miss you!
Big congrats again to all the Semi finalists!! so happy to be one of them.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day to all the Mothers!
A writers retreat! how awesome! Have fun !!
Cheers,
Sue
