It might not be obvious to many that I haven’t blogged for a couple of weeks, but it was obvious to me. I tend to feel guilty when I don’t keep my blog updated – but the last two weeks have been filled with extreme exhaustion, some bad news, emotional roller-coasters and more (and not all because of the pregnancy 😉 ). Not to mention the Olympics.
Speaking of which, it’s a good thing the Olympics only happens for two and a half weeks every four years, or I’d be screwed. Nothing would ever get done.
And this last weekend was great 😀
We had a small #writemotivation gathering at my house. Quite a few people in the #writemotivation hashtag live in Kansas or Oklahoma. So it’s a 2.5-3 hour drive from where I am. The gathering had been in the planning for a month or so, and we picked my house just because hehe.
It was so much fun. I got to meet people I’d not met in person before – and to catch up with people I already knew. We introduced ourselves and talked writing (and often tangented a LOT – as writers do). Copious amounts of food were consumed and all in all it was a great day. Thank you all so much for coming
It’s such a great feeling to surround yourself with people who love writing. Even my woeful mood for the last few weeks improved 😀
With that said – sorry for being absent for a while. I’ll get the September #writemotivation sign up list posted either this Wednesday or Thursday to give people plenty of time to sign up.
Hope everyone is having a fantastic August! Mine is definitely getting better.
And remember – a Corgi in a Skyrim box makes everything better 😉
Wish I could have joined the #writemotivation gathering! But Alaska is a little far to travel from 🙂 I look forward to the September sign-up!
I wish you could have come too – but yes, that’s quite a drive hehe. <3
I wish I could come too– but driving over from Singapore would have been a tad ambitious, even without my wheelchair troubles :). Just wanted to tell you KT that I hit 32,000, and part of the credit goes to #writemotivation 🙂
WOO HOO Great work!
Aww, me too, but Cali is pretty far away. I am glad you guys had fun!!
*hugs* We did have fun – it was a great day, but I was so tired by the end lol.
Glad to hear some of the #writemotivation crew got together. Certainly makes things nice when you can put a face to the quirky comments 🙂 Glad it lifted your spirits as well.
Yeah 😀 Overall it was an awesome experience and I’m looking forward to doing it again once baby is born hehe.
hehe, the tangents were . . . something else. That’s really all there is to say about that.
But Saturday was so much fun. I can’t wait to do it at my place next time!
Sweet! Date? 🙂
How awesome. I really wished I lived in KS or OK even more now! That is so awesome! Maybe I’ll have to try to get down there sometime. It’d be awesome.
And yeah for September Write Motivation. I didn’t participate last time and I faltered a bit. So I will be joining in September.
And as a side note is it sad I didn’t see any of the Olympics? I don’t have my television hooked up to anything but my XBOX right now.
How FUN! That sounds like an awesome time spent with other #writemotivation writers! I’m so inspired by such friendly, encouraging people. I get so caught up in LIFE stuff but I’m loving knowing that a great community is only a few clicks away 🙂
It was a blast! Thank you for having over. Tangents were the least of the talking there. XD
Hey K.T.
“Welcome back” and it sounds like you’ve had a bit of a roller-coaster ride lately, but glad to hear about the party… *that* sounds like it was a blast 🙂
So next time plan far enough in advance that Lady Jai and I can go in on a raod trip to join you all 🙂
Glad to see your mood has improved and that you all had a great time. As for the Skyrim box – was it a collector’s edition box? because I just have to know 😉
Hugs
*~MAJK~*
I should have gone. I don’t think it would have been excessive to drive 17 hours each way…
Sorry to miss the get-together!
Hope to make the next one 🙂
A corgi in a skyrim box is just way too cute! (Sorry I’m seeing this late.) Thank you for hosting us! I had a wonderful time and I hope we get to all meet again soon!
