Today I walked around Quail Lake, a place in which I’ve
literally walked hundreds of miles
Quail Lake |
My husband has retired and has always wanted to live in Las
Cruces, NM, while I as a writer can write anywhere. So, I’m off to let him
fulfill his dream—as he has always supported mine. Still 30-years of
friendships is a lot to give up. Also, the move limits my time with Pikes Peak
Writers and your blog editor. However, it may in fact be the perfect time to
transition as PPW board has talked at length about placing the blog on WordPress
where it can be directly accessed on Pikes Peak Writers website. It’s a good
plan, and we are in talks with a potential replacement for my position.
Pikes Peak Writers is in transition itself. A new president
at its helm, elections are coming up in September, and this is your chance to become
involved with a dynamic organization. We are also in the process of utilizing a
volunteer recruiter. Don’t think you have anything to offer? Think again. Keep
checking back on the website, attend Writer’s Night, Write Drunk, Edit Sober,
WriteBrains to keep abreast of what is happening in your very back yard.
So many people have helped me during my tenure as editor.
I’d be remiss to not thank Kathie Scrimgeour, Deb McLeod, Karen Albright Lin, Stacy
T. Jensen, Darby Karchut, Jason Evans, Ann S. Hill, J.T. Evans, Natalia Brothers, Aaron Michael Ritchey, Barbara Nickless,
Linda Rorhbough, Shannon Lawrence, Bowen Gillings, and many many more guest
columnists.
Thank you for reading over the time I’ve served in this
position. Wishing you the best in your writing careers.
