The writer's group to which I belong seems to have entered a final dying stage... it lingers, but does not meet. There is communication, but more about when and where to meet as opposed to actual meetings. It is dying. I will look elsewhere, I suppose. It's a little frustrating, and definitely disappointing. I had hopes for it. It appears now that I am the only one writing with an eye to publishing, so it is not as important to the others as it is to me.

I did manage to get some crafting done - cut out the coat for a character, made a small pseudo-Victorian poppet, and cut out a plushie. Now for the sewing part. And then more cutting out and more sewing. And so forth.

Got the young adult tale plotted out, so I can start the writing on that one. Halfway done with the synopsis on the previous tale - once I have that written, I'll need a cover letter, and then off it can all go to an agent. With luck and work, that will happen this week. I am determined.

Here I am. I am an ADD Crafter. I have any number of crafts going, and currently the list stands at 27 active projects and several deferred. They range from making a scepter from an old table leg and a very basic finial to making a quilt for a contest entry.

I also write. A lot. The newest project is a Young Adult fantasy. I am working out the plot points (the outline), and should be able to get started writing by Monday.

But this weekend is my Grandmother's 100th birthday, so that takes precendence over everything else. I leave today to go help with set-up and such, which means packing, getting flowers, and heading out to help. It's not that far, only about 2 hours, so it's not that bad. Other members of my family have a much longer drive.

I expect to take a couple of crafts with me. The weaving should fit in the car with no trouble, and the writing always goes.

I do Renaissance Faires (as an actor), and Scottish Highland Games (as a competitor). Currently I am on cast at Scarborough Faire here in Texas, and am ranked within the top 100 women highland gamers in the US. (Not that that's saying much, in all honesty. I think there are maybe 104, and I am in the 90's somewhere. But it sounds good.)

So there is much going on in life, even when it doesn't seem like it. I'm going to try to be better about this blog, and actually keep it up. Mind you, I am starting out on a weekend where I won't have internet, so that's going to be weird. My next post, of necessity, will be on Sunday.
