Writing has been slow lately, but the good news is that I have done a little bit of it here and there. It’s never far from my mind. I’ve been going to my sister for advice lately about how I should handle certain elements of what I’m trying to write. She’s been great to talk to and is very enthusiastic about my book. I also got a lot of family support last weekend from my mom and also from my dad’s girlfriend about it. All three can’t wait to check it out. And last night I told my college friends about it. They were also encouraging.

So since I don’t have much else to report, I thought I would post my own “8 Things Meme” after reading Calistro’s, on her blog Writing About Writing. So here goes…
