4/5/10:  Yes, I'm still alive and functioning, but hurrying to complete the chapters on my Memoir, "Iron Grip." That is the reason my blog has not appeared for about a month. That and the fact that I'm still learning how to manage the multiple bells and whistles on this new-to-me iMac.I have also managed to get another entry off to the next Chick Soup anthology on grieving and Recovery. For anyone interested the deadline has been pushed ahead to May 31. We have all met grief–most in many ways.  We all have stories.  In fact, I will be entering a second essay for that anthology.Thanks to all who have responded and to those who may have  searched in vain to locate me.  My email changed about the same time I got the Mac.  Note that I am now willmagore@gmail.com .Happy writing, Willma 4/5/10:  For those who have expected to find me in Blogland, I apologize for the long dry spell.  My skill on this new-to-me  iMac  is gaining but slowly, and I need to report a new email: willmagore@gmail.com.My time has been spent working on my memoir and leading my five writer workshops. And submitting.  Here is news for those who can use it.  The Chick soup anthology, Grieving & Recovery deadline for submissions has been delayed until May 31.  I have sent in one essay for this and have another that I plan to submit.  All of us have known grief–some far more than others. We have all recovered in different ways.  Google Chicken Soup for the soul and you will find the list of anthologies for which they are now seeking manuscripts.More later, Willma
