I Managed to Type the Last Paragraph without Calling Myself Lazy (Even Though I Am)

Instead of being asleep, preparing for a morning of creating a strategic plan change for my company (whatever the hell that means), I am awake and reading a blog. Specifically, http://writersgroupblog.blogspot.com/

Now, I know most of you are like ummm graduating or something tomorrow, but if I remember correctly, between the time the commencement ceremony ends and the time you need to be packed up and out of the dorm, you'll have ample time for reading the 396 posts there.

What you will find is 4 women who subscribe to the crazy notion of having a writing group (and of not allowing men in said writing group). Two lovely notions. Up with writing, down with men. Specifically, in their early posts (from 2006) they talk about why and how they formed their group. Also, they talk about what they actually DO when they get together.

If nothing else you will see that, while less prolific, our blog is prettier. And that's what writing is about. Right?

They also do something interesting with their blog. Once a week, each of them posts what they did the previous week to help "make a literary life." This, conveniently, translates into "Here's what I've done lately to be a writer. I only did it because I knew I'd have to tell you jerks about it. Thanks a lot (for making me a writer)." You can see why they went with the more succinct phrase. While this may be too ambitious, it's a nice idea, and one that I think would be enjoyed by the owner of the attic office, so I thought I'd throw it out there. Now it's up to Shana to reject it.
