Taking a break?

Following my book launch on April 24th I had a series of six book events through the first weekend of June.  The events included traveling to Green Bay and Oshkosh along with local events.  At the same time I was working to organize the Wisconsin Writers Conference on Sept. 21-22 at the Sheraton Milwaukee Brookfield with the goal of beginning registration on June 1.  My goal was partially met, the mail-in registration form was available on May 30th but the on-line form wasn’t available until June 4th.  My role as President of the Sun Prairie Library Board is intense.  I meet with the Library Director weekly, attend all committee meetings and we have hired an architectural firm to guide us through how to expand and improve our physical facility.
​
In a word, I was tired – not exhausted – just tired.  I didn’t schedule any book events after June 2.  Yet, somehow my month is filled with activity.  I am doing one live radio show and recording three others for future broadcast.  I have three board meetings, my monthly book group meeting, three committee meetings, a remote radio show to host, and two parties to attend. 
My wife tells me I’m working full time and I’ve reluctantly agreed with her.  Well, I grew up as a Midwest, small town, Protestant with the adage: ‘no rest for the wicked and the righteous don’t need any’ and now I’m living it.

All power to your joints, and pen, Rex! I only wish I was as prolific...I'm far too eclectic - in all areas - BUT love what I do. Although I chair an excellent writing group: Writers' Ink, I'm not as good at handling a sea of people...And I'm certainly not technically-minded. I bow to your tenacity. I'm just an old-fashioned writer. Good luck with your books.
