Sometimes this blog about silence, solitude and simplicity seems to morph into one about writing. For sure, writing is a solitary act; you can’t write and socialize at the same time. Resist as we do at times, we writers like to go off by ourselves and feel productive.
Last night at the library I attended a workshop by Erica Ferencik entitled “Writing Your ebook”. It was excellent—dynamic and energizing. For me the most helpful information had to do with publicizing one’s work through the internet, specifically social media. I have along way to go on that, seeing that I’m pretty limited to Face Book. I have blogs, but I don’t have my own author’s website. Do I want one? My teacher books, although still in print, are publications of a past era. Or are they? Joyful Learning in Kindergarten was about learning through play, which I notice is back in vogue.
Anyway, I’m energized to explore new possibilities as I await the copyedited, electronic manuscript of Very Grateful: My 100 Year Old Mother and Me. I want people to know about my mother, who although no longer with us, lives on as an example of aging gracefully by always knowing and believing that her life had meaning.
