Yesterday I attended a one-day seminar sponsored by OCFW, the local branch of ACFW.
Oh, the joy of being with other writers. How I've needed it. How I've missed it. Between deadlines and surgery, I've only made it to two other meetings this year.
Add to the fellowship the usual "buzz" I feel after I've presented a successful workshop (Mine was on "Settings that Shine.")
Having friends from Tulsa stop by just to see me.
The energy I received! When I got home, I sat and finished a chapter that had been driving me crazy all week.
The writing community is an amazing family. Their ministry to my family at the time of my daughter's death was a great testimony to my mother. And it always amazes that among Christian writers, the denominational differences that divide so much of christendom simply melt away. A common calling and passion unite us.
The experience reminded me of the importance of staying connected via my blog, Facebook, or whatever. For my sake. And maybe I have something to offer you as well.

Welcome back, Darlene!
I'm so happy to hear you had such a blessed time at the meeting! I've had you on my mind and in my prayers.
I just finished reading "Lone Star Trail" and will have my review posted sometime today. I loved the book and was certainly left wanting to know more about the Morgan family!
Blessings to you dear friend,
Beverly
