Anne I'm guest-editing an anthology on the widowhood experience. I was so touched by the story about your grandmother's long lost love. I would love for you to submit it, perhaps with a couple of paragraphs about his being a kind of widower. I'm not sure exactly what you'd need to say, but something that would link it to the subject matter. Check out information on the anthology at www.silverboomerbooks.com and click on Call for Submissions. Let me know what you think. TZ

Hi Annie,
I'm sorry you couldn't leave a message on my blog. I'll check it out an see what the problem is. I just posted another if you want to check it out:
Aw, darn it, Annie. Blogger ate my comment to you. I had the forethought to copy it, though. It's in response to your latest post:
I love this. I can see Maddy perfectly, her poise, her confidence. I'm envisioning some kind of terminal disease. I don't feel like she'd off herself. Something she hadn't planned for. She's coping by treating it as just another extraordinary event in a series of extraordinary events of her life...the Chanel gown, the Champagne casket. Probably dead wrong about her, huh? Ah, well. Very enjoyable. Must have more Maddy.
Annie, Belated welcome to She Writes. I hope you're enjoying the site! Love to have you join us in the Novelists – Struggling or Not group if you'd like.
I so appreciate that you took the time to read the post and comment. I find blogging without anyone's notice much like trying to sweep the ocean back with a broom...disheartening! The very fact that you made a comment created sunshine for me!
I totally agree that the techie stuff demanding a level of expertise to simply blog is quite over the top making me feel as if I spend a lot of time gasping for oxygen--much like hyperventiling! But I will say I now have quite a tool box filled with skills I never in my wildest dreams knew existed let alone expected to achieve!
Good to hear back from you. Also looking forward to knowing your writing as well and enjoying your blogs, which I would be glad to comment on. Take care!
"Today I invited a few friends who are artists and many who write to join SheWrites and our group. Feel free to do the same with your friends. It is nice to see my local friends posting on She Writes!"
"Jacky - your dilemma is one many know well, obviously. For myself, I liken the construction of a plot & characters with two metaphors; let's call them A and 2.
A: imagine a chess game, one in which you must construct each move by both…"
