Writerly Get Togethers

Saturday, hubby and I had an opportunity to attend a potluck with a bunch of other writers. Can I just tell you how fun it is to live in a place so rich in the publishing industry?

L.T. Elliot (aka Laura) and Carolyn Vawdrey

Chad Morris, Tiana Smith, and Mary Campbell

David Powers King (and wife), Morgan Shamy, Julia King, and Shelly Brown (married to Chad)

Me, Laura, and Julia

Do you ever have a chance to meet up for social events with other writers?

I HATE Catpcha . . . and a NaNo Update

This break from NaNoWriMo is brought to you by

I hate Captcha! Hate. Hate it!

Few things make me crazier when I'm  trying to get through a ton of blogs in a day than having to submit--sometimes multiple times--those stupid, hard-to-read symbols. I've only got so much time, and I have sometimes left the blog without without commenting if I can't get the captcha right.

They're hard to read for young people and it's even worse for old people like me. I cry "Age Discrimination!"

If you want people to comment on your blog, make it as easy as possible for them to do it. Since the blog owners never see it, if you don't know how to turn it off, Shelly and Chad have a "how to" up on their blog today.

Save the world from Crappy Captcha!

As for the progress with my NaNo project, I broke 34,000 words yesterday. I'm quite pleased.
