Check Your Calendars — It’s Almost Medium Day
But first, a funeral story.
Hey, Y’all!
I am sooo happy to be back! Seven days ago, my computer laid down and died a quiet death.
No warning, no sickness, just quick and silent. Totally unprepared to buy another one, I buried it and went into quite a frenzy.
How will I edit? How will I read and comment? It’s too hard to maneuver on my cell phone — the numbers too small and my fingers too big!
I read every story we publish on MP, so I was very frustrated. Running a publication takes effort and many, many hours editing, commenting, and fixin’ stuff.
I didn’t know what to do with myself. All this extra free time on my hands!
Wait, I suppose I could fold the basket of clothes sitting in the corner for a week. Or maybe dust Mama’s piano that no one plays anymore. Lord knows, I wish I had her talent!
Oh, no! I gotta bake the pumpkin pie I promised my grandson!
’Nuff said about that!
Let’s get to the BIIIIIIG STORY!!! Check this out!
It’s almost time for Medium Day!
Sept. 19th, we are scheduled for 11:00–11:30am Central Time.
Medium Day is a free, live, online conference where we’re bringing our amazing community together to celebrate the power of writing through 150+ livestream sessions and activities throughout the day.
You’ll be hearing more about that in the coming days.
Stop by and let’s talk turkey! You got questions? Maybe we have the answers!
I’m looking forward to meeting y’all! See ya there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ☺️
