H A P P Y F A L L !
It's been a busy weekend! The highlight was that my son's baseball team had a get together to socialize with new teammates and their families at the Reds game Saturday night - when they clinched the NL Central division championship! Even though I live in Ohio, I'm a Braves fan at heart and a Tiger fan by marriage - but it was awesome to be there for such a big win! Way to go, Reds!
We had three different sports represented this weekend too - a football game, a baseball game, and basketball tryouts. I've barely been home! Ah well. I enjoy being busy!
And now for the writing/blogging news...WBN!
Tomorrow (9/25) kicks off! Miss Snark's biggest annual event - Baker's Dozen Agent Auction! Check it out if you're shopping your MS around!
Angie at Notes From the Writing Chair wants to read some short stories and give feedback! She's holding a contest through Oct 31
The Muse Online Writers Conference! You should register because it closes
So how was your weekend? And do you have a wild hair to write a great short story? Going to the online conference? Have a great week, whatever you're up to!

All those sports - you do sound busy! I worked on edits all weekend. With a lot of guitar practice in between.
I just got back from a week long writing conference and I am both stoked and burned out. But I'll recover and come back better and stronger! (Fingers crossed!) :)
I believe tomorrow on the auction is just a chance to get feedback on your pitch. The real deal doesn't start until later next month. Tomorrow is optional.
Great batch of news! I'm trying to decide if I should jump in . . or just stick to getting my writing goals done.
BTW - I took on the Meme today and linked back to your blog.
busy lady! but it sounds like you're having loads of fun :)
I want some cold weather. Will you send some my way?
Thanks for stopping by my place :O)
Sounds like a busy, fun weekend! And of course, thanks for all the links! :-)
glad you had some fall weather--we are having some today :)
Only one game this weekend - my grandson's football game - but we had perfect fall weather for it. This week will be too much "catch-up" and not enough "moving forward".
Hi there! Did I know you were from Ohio, too (or am I not remembering we had this discussion)? I'm near Cleveland!
I live in Cincinnati. I'm not exactly a Reds fan (I'm from Cleveland originally), but I'm thrilled that the Reds did so well.
Thanks for the shout-out! :) My weekend highlight was going apple picking at a huge orchard. Makes me wish I knew how to do anything with apples other than wash them and eat them. *LOL*
I'm surprised there was any writing with all that sport going on!
Sounds like a whirlwind weekend. I worked, and husband and I toured the Lava River cave yesterday. That was fun.
Oh, how fun that you were at the Reds game! I was so excited when they won, I'm very jealous!
Thanks for the reminder about the Muse conference, I had totally forgotten!
It sounds like you are so busy! Best of luck with all the various sports. :)
I'll have to check out this Baker's dozen auction. Thanks!
I had a nice relaxing weekend for the most part...and I need more of them! I'm exhausted ;)
I got a lot of writing done on my WIP Saturday night and all of Sunday. I'm at over 90,000 words now, with a rough guesstimate of the final total being 150,000-200,000. I know what you mean about being loyal to one team even if you live in another state. The Steelers, Pirates, and Penguins have my heart, even though I haven't lived in Pittsburgh for ages.
I nominated you for an award: http://carrieannebrownian.wordpress.com/2012/09/24/one-lovely-blog-award/
That sounds like a good online writer's conference. I would probably join the conference in the future but not right now. I don't even know how the thing works.
Thanks for the blogosphere news even though I don't hide under a rock in this town! :)
Thank you for passing along the great info! I hadn't heard of the conference before. Will have to look into it, but doubt I have the time I'd need. Maybe next year. Your weekend sounds lovely; glad it was a fun one, and exciting about the Reds game.

I meant to sigh up for the online conf, but forgot. Thx for reminding me. :)
I love sports. I can't wait for my kids to be old enough to participate in some! Btw, I did your meme :) Thanks again.
Wanted to answer your comment on my blog - I think books by the banks already happened. Maybe I'm wrong, but I didn't have any plans to go. A lot of my writer friends sold books there last year, and they had a good time. Maybe next time I'll go.
Alex, yay guitar practice!

I like the Braves, mostly because they're about the only team anyone in the south can root for!
I'm a Yankee fan by birth though :)
