There are times in your life that bring you rewards beyond expectations. Yesterday was that kind of day. Of course all my ‘followers’ know that I love warm weather and try my best to escape winter. When the temperatures soar, my energy levels rise and I feel capable of anything. So I did my morning walk and added a half mile, attacked the rose garden then wandered off to a garden centre and purchased roses, roses, roses. In case you haven’t guessed, I really like ‘em! Of course they don’t warrant photos yet but keep posted.
Some time ago, the Ottawa Independent Writes asked me to share my thoughts on writing short stories. I spoke to a very attentive audience and was rewarded by several people coming up to me after and thanking me for an informative evening. And my greatest reward? My granddaughter, who had come with me to hear me speak, gave me the biggest reward of all. When driving home, I asked her if she learned anything and it was then she held up my handout on 11 points to editing and said – “I’m tacking this up over my desk as soon as I get home.” Wow, there can be no better reward. Now that’s something to crow about.
Molly,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your presentation and was happy that you had an attentive crowd. Lots of questions and answers with good tips.
I am also happy that you have family who appreciates your writing efforts and the wisdom that you can offer.
