Well hello there! You may have noticed my absence from blog writing and reading for the last, let me see..... Oh my, has it really been three weeks?!?! It seems I took a longer Spring Break than I realized. Time flies!
Six days of my three week blogging hiatus was spent in Nashville. I basked in the warmth of family and sunshine, while another blizzard roared in Northern Wisconsin. I read a few books and discovered for me reading books and writing are not compatible. Hopefully I am not unique in this respect.
I also found myself paying attention to the nuances of the authours characters and descriptive. I kept my nifty yellow and pink highlighters at the ready for the words that portrayed emotions and situations perfectly. So now I have three books with splashes of yellow and slashes of pink throughout.
Now I am all geared up for the A-Z Challenge. I am dedicating the A-Z Challenge to my six wonderful and very eventful days in Nashville. I hope you will tune in.
P.S. I missed the last Crusader Challenge too. Hanging my head...down in the mouth etc. etc. etc.

Oh wow, Nashville! Welcome back Ann :-)
Yay Nashville!! I haven't been there in 12 years. I look forward to reading all about it....and welcome back.
Nashville is just up I-65 from us - a great place for spring break if you're a landlubber
I get lost in the story when I read and it's always hard, if not impossible, for me to notice any technical or 'writerly' stuff. Impressed that you can!
I rode through Nashville one time in 1987. I'd love to visit :)
Ooh, Nashville. Can't wait to see your posts.
