I have been a member of AZ Authors for only a few months and although I don't attend very many of the events, I get a great deal of information and often rejuvenation from reading various tips and articles from their website.

I have to laugh at your comments about waiting daily for the mail to come. We're all in that boat at various points at one time or another.

I was looking through my VCR movie tapes making a list of the ones I need to purchase into DVD's, as we all know the VCR is going the way of the beta, and there are favorites I don't want to lose out on for the future. I came across one that sent me into full flashback mode.

I've even tried buying and installing one of those Talk It Type It programs so I could try talking to my computer. How Star Trek of me. But not only are they time consuming to get to understand you good enough but even then they make alot of mistakes and don't do the punctuation. So I have to rely on old fashioned type it myself for the moment. Once I have settled on the method of delivering words to paper out of the way, then where do the ideas come from?
