Today, I'm focusing on #11, and catching up with all my Hoosier Ink buddies (and a couple of other writing blogs as well). Someday, I'll get back to #1.
ReplyDeleteI went to a group called Procrastinators Anonymous. The sole attender told me everyone else called in and said they couldn't attend that meeting but would be at the next one.
Love it, Jeff! I'll have to find out when the next group meeting will be held. I'm sure I'll have another commitment, but at least I'll be absent with the best of intentions!
