So not only did you teach me about writing memoir, you also taught me about reading and thinking about how others write memoir. Thank you so much! Rebecca

Classes postponed for now

Well, as we know, our best-laid plans can be upset and turned under in a minute.

I had planned to teach a class at ICL this fall, but I was too late to get on their roster. Maybe I will be on the winter list of instructors. If so, my class will definitely be held on Zoom as I will be in Roswell then.

I had other plans for September, but at this time, health issues have come up and have to be resolved before I commit. 

I won't lament the days I've spent on the phone and on email trying to communicate with the medical world. But will continue to see the glass half full.

With Zoom,  I am taking classes, listening to writers, and keeping in touch with my friends here in my community. 

It is difficult now to work at my computer as I did only a few years ago. I must learn to use the voice element to dictate to Word. I plan to submit an essay by the end of this month, so I had better hurry.

I am grateful for many things. One is that my sister, Gay, is coming to take me down to Roswell, GA very soon. We will have a good time.

I hope you are having a good time wherever you are and whatever you are doing. Don't forget to read a good book. 

See you next time.

    I haven't warmed to Zoom. I am impressed that you have.

    1. I had to learn to use Zoom during the pandemic and found it works well for me to teach and to listen in and take classes with others who are in distant places. The most important thing is I have to have good Internet signal and often that fails. Glenda
