It was an eventful and busy weekend.
I participated in the annual Enid Author Fest with 40 of Oklahoma’s finest authors. We hobnobbed, read our work to the public, and sold a few books. It is always great to see the people I know and meet a few I didn’t. I managed to come home with a few to read as well.
I am a member of the Enid Writers Club and the Oklahoma Writers’ Federation, Inc.(OWFI). Each year in May OWFI has a conference in Oklahoma City with agents, authors, publishers, publicists and anyone else who is interested in writing. There are writing sessions all weekend and all types of writing are discussed. It takes place over a long weekend and once again I get to visit with authors I know. I have learned so much about writing from these people that I owe them a lot.
It was also a weekend for my high school reunion. My husband and I went to high school together and graduated at the same time so we know a lot of the same people. But it was good to see them again. Enid High had a graduating class of 675 people the year we graduated, and there were about 80 of us at the reunion. But we still got to see each other. I found out one of the women I went to school with just moved in around the corner from me. We will renew that friendship in the near future.
Between the two events, I hugged and laughed a lot. I was so tired when I got home from the Author Fest, I could hardly put my books away but at least they are back where they belong.
OWFI is in a couple of weeks and my dog and pony show will be back on the road again. But that is Another Story another Time.
What are you reading/writing this week?
