And I loved her "three hours or three pages" idea--much less daunting than the 2K words Stephen King advocates (which is great, but I've tried and failed). That's my new mantra; we'll see how it goes.Elizabeth Lyndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02638768950811415099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967179224372520114.post-70499951582661956592013-04-16T13:49:59.679-05:002013-04-16T13:49:59.679-05:00Anita, I envy your one-on-one interactions.

There is something magical about meeting someone whose stories you've spent so much time with. If you get a chance to hear Cheryl or Elizabeth Strout, you must be sure to go.Pamela Hammondshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18267333699680840984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967179224372520114.post-80141556117334423502013-04-16T13:47:11.729-05:002013-04-16T13:47:11.729-05:00She was, wasn't she?

I loved hearing her talk about her creative process and know Elizabeth could relate to the fact that she writes longhand--which sounds exhausting to me!

I've been very lucky to travel to some author events and as a blogger I have an online relationship with many, so when we meet in person, it's very nice. This past weekend was a local book festival, I met several authors and had a couple of meals out with them, time to really chat books, mentors, politics, how we all loathe 50 shades.....you get the picture. <br />I think there is something magical about those people who create story and weave it into the books I love.
