Merry and Happy whatever you celebrate....from Writers4Higher

The year's-end holiday in my family revolves around the celebration of Christmas. Wrapping gifts with the involvement of a pet (usually a cat, as the dogs historically only got involved if food was involved), a bit of baking, seeing family and friends, and southern comfort food. Okay, so the traffic makes me a little more nutso than usual, but I do get a kick from the random discussions with complete strangers in the toy aisle. This year, a few of us gathered around a robotic dinosaur that could be "taught to belch and fart." Wow. Sometimes there truly are no words. :)

I am so very fortunate. Period. In all ways. In regards to the Writers4Higher blog, I have been impressed by the posts of my fellow authors and others affiliated with this writers' life. 

The media would have us believe that people are inherently evil, intent on destruction. This blog confirms the opposite: a far greater number of humans are kind, willing to give their time and gifts to uplift, sustain, and inspire. 

I thank you all for that. We are staging our own quiet version of a revolution.

May you have a wonderful holiday, whatever you celebrate. Allow yourself to take a deep breath and enjoy.

See you all in January, with more talented authors and writer-ly folks.

Writers4Higher takes a new direction...whoot!

Well now. I've taken a little break from the blog and it's time to put on my running shoes and head out.

The Writers4Higher blog is my way of giving back, of highlighting some mighty fine literary folks.

Up until this point, I have focused on authors. But what about all of the other hard-working people in this field? Yep, they deserve recognition, too.

So tune in. In addition to more talented author types, you shall be introduced to editors, designers, and marketing people. If I can tie down a muse long enough to ask a few questions, maybe even one of those wispy types.

It is true; we never do anything alone. Without the aid of other experts, a writer is just someone else yammering in a vacuum.

My best to all of you, and thanks for reading the Writers4Higher blog.
