This week we--I and five incredible writers-- begin a new online PW group. I've been thinking about doing something like this ever since we left Atlanta two and a half years ago. Not sure why I decided to embark on it now. Something to do with starting to write this blog. It moved me from thinking to acting. Stopped being an idea for the future and became what we're doing now. Writes from the group start coming in this week. I'm excited. Feel a part of me that's gone unused for a long time now, waking up, flexing, stretching, ready to get in there and start mixing it up.
I'm doing a lot more writing now than I was a week ago. Expect to start getting thinner any day now. I'll weigh in at the end of this week.
I'm thinking about having the married couple, Angel and George, in THE HOME STRETCH have met when she was a grad student and he was a young professor. That was the dynamic under which they fell in love forty years ago. Things change. Can somebody tell me if "home stretch" is one word or two?
Google it! :-)
