Amana Iowa Renfest!

i finally made it out of the house and explored the local Renfest! I very badly needed to refresh my personal knowledge of these festivities. (Look for it in Volume 4 and beyond!)

Shoutouts to the Band of Iron Lions for taking the time to have a wonderful conversation with me!]

I also had a tarot reading done by the lovely and talented Crystal. Recreational only, but absolutely exceeded my expectations and she put up with my rambling like a pro!

I won’t share the details of the reading, but I was laughing several times. It wasn’t the sort of eureka where I had the cards tattle on my deepest secrets. Rather, it was a concise summary of things that I already knew were going on in my life, just put into focus in one place.

The writing process is still going, and I am so glad I got out of the house. I find myself dreading the apparent necessity of having SOME sort of social media presence to give greater exposure to my writing. I know, that’s the current success formula. But I wrote what I wanted to read, and I have faith that it is good enough to connect with the right readers who will appreciate the stories and smile.

I’ll try to be more regular with these postings! No guarantees.
