Nan – I know it would be more polite to say your soup is probably just as good as mine… but I make fabulous soup as a lure for writers to come and visit me, so it’s pretty darn worthy. If you ever get a gig in Austin, you’ve got a place to stay!

Me too. I think someday I’ll meet her face-to-face. Thanks for the soup offer. May take you up on that some day.
If you’re ever in NJ, the offer goes for you too (although I suspect my soup is not as good)

Hi, Nan! I hope you and your buddy have the chance to meet face-to-face sometime. If you’re ever in Austin, I’ll cook soup for you!

Your literary salon sounds wonderful. My writing buddy lives on the opposite coast. The closest we’ve ever gotten to meeting is Skype. Homemade soup?! Sounds very yummy.

Hiya, Suzie! I’ve been amazed at how small this world is, too. And friendly.

Vonna, I feel the same way about the revisions I have ahead of me! It feels weird, like I’ve turned into one of those exercise nuts who “loves the burn.” It’s kind of sick. Glad you have such a good group to crit with.

I met with my version of your Literary Salon group today, except that it was a critique day, not just a support day. Of course, we are always supportive of each other, even as we rip each others’ hearts and manuscripts to shreds. I can’t wait to get started on the revisions they suggested today. I have another group that has grown quite large, but everyone in it is a wonderful writer. I cherish their input as much as I enjoy reading their work. And oh, the online mentors! Isn’t it amazing how many well-known authors take the time to share their expertise with the rest of us? Kind souls.

You can call me whatever you want because, of course, I just use you for your homemade soups and critiques. You make us sound like such a fabulous, sophisticated group I feel like I better hurry up and accomplish something focused and wonderful before you have to rename our meetings: Nikki’s Soup Kitchen for Wayward Writers.
