TRIBES

Four women…
Having brunch at the Omni hotel….
Watching the crystal blue Caribbean…
Lap on the white sandy beach.
I was in heaven…
Of course the beautiful terrain helped…
But more important that day…
I found my tribe…
Four writers!
Here in Mexico!
Not that I can’t write alone, mind you…
But I find the company of other writers…
Inspires me.
Recently I watched Midnight in Paris
A Woody Allen movie…
About a writer who goes to Paris…
And at midnight…
A vintage car picks him up…
And whisks him off to cafes and bars…
Where he meets Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald…
Picasso, T.S Elliot, Dali, and Gertrude Stein to name a few.
Imagine?
What that would be like…
To sip coffee or a brew with any of them?
For now and for me…
Since I can’t be with my tribe in Ohio…
I’ll find friendship, inspiration, and accountability…
Here in the Caribbean…
With my new tribe.
So what about you?
Do you have a tribe?
And if you could pick one author in history…
To sit across from in Paris…
Who would it be?
FYI…
One of the members of my tribe is…
Elle Cosimano…
A newly published author of Nearly Gone
A YA thriller.
Here’s the link to her website:

DUH!!!

I’ve been absent for a while…
But haven’t been sitting on my duff.
I’m writing, editing, and submitting.
Today…
An excerpt of mine…
Is being critiqued by three lovely ladies...
On the Princess Persnickety blog...
Three Hundred Word Thursday.
Here’s the link: 
Hope you stop by.
And feel free to critique also.
Ciao for now.
Or as they say down here in Mexico...
Adios muchachos.

Always,
