This is number one of who knows how many? It comes from a hilltop in Morganton, NC, with the Blue Ridge as our backdrop. It also comes from a writer--I think--who is looking for like minds and adventurous spirits. Well, maybe not too adventurous.
I have a book to promote, and I hope a second in the near future, and short stories to get some critiques on with an eye to finding a publisher for a collection...all the usual writerly requirements. It seems necessary to find out who's out there who might be willing to form a support group around those of us who find ourselves without a formal geographical region to call our own. Foothills? Table Rock?
I have a novel, released last month, that got some compliments. See Book Buzz for particulars. Another is due out "soon." Does anyone know what a publisher means by this?
As a well-known comedienne used to say: can we talk?
Joan, I like your blog. Good luck with it and with your writing. With your book listed on Book Buzz with NCWN I hope many readers will check it out. I will list this blog on my favorites and visit often.
ReplyDeleteFor other writers of the mountains, I hope they will visit www.netwestwriters.blogspot.com to read the work of members of NCWN West and other writers we enjoy.
Hi Joan
ReplyDeleteI just saw you on the Virtual Blog Tour website. Welcome and I had to tell you that I'm within view of the Blue Ridge too - I'm in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia between the Blue Ridge and Allegheny mountains :)
