| Here's Debra urging us to rev up the conflict |
Giving presentations with others, like this, is much less
nerve-wracking than going solo. I had a lot of fun and I think the others did,
too. The audience was awesome: attentive, responsive, and appreciative. Many of
them told me afterward that they were energized to return home and write short
stories. Some even said the talks would help them with their novels.

Also, I learned new things from the others, and was equally
inspired!
Lisa Malice, the president of the chapter, hosted Paula and
me in her lovely Marietta home, which made the stay even better! That woman can
hostess! And cook.
I thank the chapter for having us and for Debra who, I
believe, organized us.
