Great day

Well, I'm not out of a job. You would think that was good news. It is; the paycheck portion, as I mentioned previously. However, it was a source of great stress for me yesterday. Not to mention going to work when I really wanted to be somewhere else and on top of it I had all the things I needed to get done for the first meeting of Willamette Writers Salem Chapter on my mind.

I'm a worrier. I've heard that most things that we worry about never come to pass. I've found that it really is true. Does this help me to worry less? Sure, sometimes, not often enough.

Last night, the Salem Chapter meeting left all the stresses of the day behind. I would love to tell you everything went off without a hitch, however, I'm not prone to lying. We ran out of copies and the copy machine took the day off, but I'll be sending out copies of Bernadette and Gretchen's notes to everyone on the Salem Chapter e-mail list. But despite that glitch and some timing issues, everything was terrific! We had a great turn out and lots of encouraging words.

Bernadette and Gretchen of Baker's Mark Literary Agency were terrific first speakers to have. I think all were impressed with their knowledge, experience, and information. If you need an agent, check them out at http://www.bakersmark.com/.

I'm still here, I'm still employed, but I was so inspired last night, I'm definately ready to broaden my horizons. All in all, today's been a great day.
