Helen's Flowers

One of our host ladies in our writer's group

always has lovely flowers on her table when we get there.

These were the ones this week.

Writing Group Christmas Celebration...

After our meeting the table was cleared and we had a pot-luck luncheon.

Very lovely!

Good friends and fellow-writers.

I have learnt a lot from them.

I think I am the youngest of the group.

Lazy and Last Minute...

I just read over my dialogue submission for my writing group early this morning.

I realised more editing was needed.  I did it.

I often write my pieces the morning I am going.  Then I read them aloud and edit as I go along and hand them in.

I know I would do better by leaving them a couple of days after that and then re-read and re-edit.

I sometimes wonder if I will ever change?  I think I am making progress in many ways... perhaps as I persist in this the particular transformation, conversion will continue until I find that indeed I AM more disciplined, less lazy and last-minute as I put down in words what I want to convey.

This is my bowl of seeds I have collected from all over the world.  It is in the middle of the dining-room table when I don't have fresh flowers there.  The two light coloured little dainty seeds in the middle ground left hand side are the ones I collected at Constantia Park when I was there on Friday.  I love my seed collection!  Good memories of many years.
