Internet bullies (aka trolls) are real and can be very toxic. If we find bullying unacceptable IRL, then why do we let it happen online? #MondayBlogs #WritersLife #SocialMedia

Excerpts from a writers' retreat and a funny anecdote. #mondayblogs #community #writersretreat
Energized, Connected, and Grateful
A bit quiet on the blog front this month as I needed to prep two presentations for the Manor Mill Writers Retreat. I meant to blog a bit after the event, but I needed a bit of downtime. I also ended the day feeling energized to work on my creative writing, which I did, and I set aside some time to beta read and provide feedback on a novel from one of the writers in my network.
