In fact, in the September issue of Sasee magazine, a story of mine ("Still Dancing") is going to appear. It chronicles my
placed on it would boogie-oogie-oogie right off?
Tomorrow, some local writers are going to be guests at a private event, featuring Gloria Gaynor, the queen of I Will Survive. Cathi LaMarche, Alice Muschany, Lynn Obermoeller, and Linda O'Connell will be dancing under the disco ball--and they each have a story of theirs published in an anthology about surviving.
by Gloria Gaynor's song "I Will Survive."
Please send them congratulations and if you're
...'Cause they don't need no stinkin' writing advice. They're solid writers. Each of them is a Brick! House! of writing skills.
Almost the big day! Oh, and good on the Sassee piece...remind me when it is out so I can read it!
ReplyDeleteClaudia--Thanks.
DeleteCongratulations on the Sassee piece!
ReplyDeleteMama Zen--Thanks. Of course, I need to use more than 23 words to make a point--unlike your succinct and sharp-witted self... ;)
DeleteAllow me to offer my apologies, Madam, for these people above calling you a "sassy piece." They seem to be card-carrying members of your crony circle, yet they presume to know which way your moral compass swings. A trait so uncharacteristic of your heretofore well-behaved bloggy friends, this rush to judgment. Perhaps...WAIT a minute! You have written a piece that will appear in Sassee! Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteExcuse me. I must travel through the blogosphere to see if anybody else needs needless defending. I hope those Gaynor gals make the most of their night of Hustling.
"Sassy" is the most PC thing some people could call me...
DeleteYAY, I can't wait to get the September issue of Sasee to read your story. Ha, I liked, "... and if you're older than mud..." and oh my, I hope there's no dancing involved as I'm sure I'm more horrific at the attempt than you!
ReplyDeleteLynn--You've already read it during critique night, remember? ;)
DeleteHave a blast tomorrow. And congrats again. Color me a bit green but also happy for you ladies...
Congratulations on Sasee! Can't wait to read it. I may have been on vacation, because I do not remember it. But then, my mind is elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteLinda--Thanks. Yes, currently, your mind is focused on that flashing disco ball.
DeleteHave a great time today. I imagine that preparing for the event--with all the thoughts that will go zinging around in your head--along with the event itself, could be the basis of a future CS story.

Pat--Thanks, but you know how it is...We're a circle of writers, and each individual writer is supported by the group.
DeleteWay to go with Sasee piece -- oh, and Think Positive for Kids and Just us Girls. You are on a roll; maybe it's because you're "Still Dancing."
ReplyDeleteAnd it's wonderful about the ladies in the We Will Survive anthology.
Donna--Thanks. No, fortunately for everyone in the St. Louis/St. Charles area, I don't dance except when I've got the house to myself.
DeleteYeah, it's wonderful for the "Survival" ladies. They had a night they will never forget...and it didn't even involve Viggo Mortensen...
Congratulations on the Sasee piece! I do remember reading it in critique group, and the editor made a wise choice.
ReplyDeleteTammy--Thanks, although I think she was tired of my whining, and finally succumbed...
DeleteSioux, congrats on your piece for Sasee. And I am also green but proud of knowing so many of those writers that got to meet Gloria Gaynor!!! :) It just goes to show you how hard work breeds success!
ReplyDeleteMargo--Thanks, and me, too. I'm a bright green but very happy for them...
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your Sasee pub! :) I'm not a dancer. One of my kids recently compared me to a kangaroo. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteIt's better than if they said, "You dance just like Elaine on the show 'Seinfeld,' " so be happy, Lisa.
