I am grateful for the writers I have met through TPR. I am grateful for the fact it is still keeping a few on task and me connected to them. I'm grateful for all the writing I have done, even if it hasn't gotten me more that those few good friends and some extra skills! Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Schedule for the Week of Sunday June 24th
No Dianne this week. :( But she thinks next week will work. :)
And this is the next to the last week before my sister's wedding so I have house full of people. I am not sure when I will be able to get an hour in. Mornings are more of a given than the afternoons. So I will schedule 2 AMs - 8 - 9 est. But I realize they are not the best for the rest of the world. Sorry about that. Next week will likely be not better. Except for the Dianne part....
Tuesday 8 - 9 am est

Post 3:Reconvention!
So, do tell! What happened?
A chat box will be here the first 1/2 hour after our unplug. Please sign up (I think you will have to begin an account with Chatroll but it only takes a second). After our chat I will remove the chat box and post the highlights. For posterity's sake. If all else fails, please post your report in the comments. If there is something I can fix I will do it as quick as I can. And if you just prefer to do it the old school way, in comments, that is fine too.
