What Matters Most Is Not WHAT You Write, But WHOM You Write With

*taps microphone*

"Hello!  Is this thing on?"

It's been pretty quiet on this blog lately.  We've all been busy with other things, and the blog has been somewhat neglected.  Speaking just for myself, I've been lousy of late staying active with any of my three blogs, including this one.

But I think it's an apt time to stop by this blog and to say, for the record, what a wonderful bunch of people my Writing Group is.

We're hoping to have the most of us, if not the all of us, together for a picnic this weekend.  The prospect puts a spring my step.  No matter what I do or don't write in the remainder of my writing life, that is of much less importance to me than simply being part of a wonderful group of creative, unique, and generous souls.

Many of whom I will hang out with this Sunday.  Can't wait!
