Well, Cyn and I had a great time speaking on first drafts at the Writers' League meeting last Thursday. Afterwards, we went out to Doc's Motorworks, just up the street, with a bunch of the children's lit. attendees. The discussion included perspectives from adult nonfiction and romance writers, as well as Cyn and me (Very different perspectives :-)). It's part of a year-long program that goes through the steps of publishing from writing onward...Then, Saturday, we had great fun hearing Mark Mitchell (honorary admiral of the Texas navy, hence the post title) speak at BookPeople about school visits and his experiences with his book Raising LaBelle, about the LaSalle shipwreck project (some of the artifacts are on display at the Bullock Museum of Texas History) and then another bunch was off to lunch at Waterloo Ice House. Donna Bratton has a post here.
But now back to the writing...
[UPDATE]: See an interview in the Austin American-Statesman with Austin's Varian Johnson about the Brown Bookshelf project (of which Austin's Don Tate is also an organizer)!
