Last evening, ten of us gathered to celebrate our writing journeys at Symposium Restaurant. The conversation was lively as we discussed traditional vs self-publishing (many of us are still sitting on that fence), memoir writing, contests, religion, politics and social media.
Congratulations to Cindy Carroll on her engagement! She is planning a destination wedding in November 2013.
