In a crazy world, we love our crazies.

 Yes, they are not really crazy. Crazy talented maybe. More than likely, mislabeled. Because that's what we do, right? We don't understand some one, we call them crazy. That's one way to end the discussion, and lately there appears to be enough crazy going around for all of us.

You've got your crazy "spy" character.
  Today's update. 

 And your even crazier Southern cook with her friend. Trying to make apologies for being herself... not the persona she created.
 Hello??

And yet, it's the crazy people who change the world... and make it a much more fun place to live, right?
  So get out there, take some risks, challenge yourself and go... a little crazy.
 Not celebrity crazy though, ok?

Most Viewed Blog. And A Teaser.

 I changed the layout a bit here, bop around and see if you like it.

And as a bow to the old days, I thought I would share with you my most viewed post... maybe it's the pictures? Had to laugh to see the Middle Eastern hits on that one. Really??

 Here it is.

 I am also back to also posting on THE OTHER OTHER GOOD THING,


and trying to wrap my mind around final, final edits on the contemporary detective novel, 3 Women Walk into a Bar, while shoving copious notes on the WIP mystery series aside and trying to tell myself to slow down and breathe...

Yep. Just another day in my world.

What's the teaser, you ask?
 Well, it's another sort of wrap.
 The conclusion of the first writebythewater.com  WRITERS RETREAT

writers retreat

You can read all of Gwen's posts here and you can read how you can join us a writer in at the retreat in February here.

But mostly you can be jealous that a bunch of writers shared a beach house, had a great time, and wrote like crazy.
