Zoom-
tethered,
across the
miles gathered,
a group of writers –
we found one another
I finally came to see
voices behind the author’s voice
the people who make words that make me
remember how good it is to connect
What fun I had yesterday at the Slicer Meet-Up! I had a great time chatting with some amazing fellow writers. Go swing by and visit Alice, Celia, Elisa, Melanie, Ona, Raivenne, and Vivian
Soapbox: The Way I see Things 
What a great looking group. I am sure everyone enjoyed themselves. It is always great when we can put a face to the name.
Absolutely!
I’m glad you were able to go and it must have been such fun matching names and faces! What a great idea to take a screen shot to commemorate the meeting. Now we get to benefit, too! Thanks!
Yes! It was a great time.
I’ve been waiting to read about the meet-up. Am so glad you all met, and maybe more of us can join in next time!
I am fortunate to work and slice with Ona. She is the reason I have participated in the challenge. I would have loved to have attended last night but I was celebrating my birthday with my family.
Well happy birthday! And yeah…Ona’s pretty cool. =)) I hope you’re enjoying the chance to slice! I’m a little jealous that no one I know in real life is slicing along with me. That sounds like it would be a fun thing to do.
Thanks for sharing a picture. Sorry I missed it! Have a great weekend!
It was great meeting you, Lainie! I enjoyed chatting with everyone, and of course, you said it so well. I like to think we traveled a whole day into the future. How cool is that? We did sort of travel through time.
Yes! We sure did! I had fun meeting you too. =))
Last night was a blast! You’re so right matching audio voices with word voices was great.
The smiles say it all! One day I hope to join and meet you in real time. Happy weekend!
That would be AMAZING!
Loved getting to meet all of the meet-up slicers! What a great idea. I agree – putting faces and voices with names was just so good! I’m glad you snapped that picture! 🙂
I’m sorry I missed the meet up. I was able to be at the first one. It was wonderful seeing fellow slicers.
Right? It’s a great way to connect, for sure.
Hopefully it’ll happen again next year.
Hi Lainie,
If it’s not blowing my own trumpet this is my blog link https://livinglife816287820.wordpress.com/
and it was such fun… especially for me from half way around the world, chatting to you all on a different day!!
Oh, please toot away! Thank you so much. I’m going to link right in my blog post. =))
And. Silly me for not making the connection! I’ve read and enjoyed your blog so many times!
So glad you were able to go and I love seeing the photo of the smiling faces and imagining the conversations and joy at meeting over Zoom.
I know the excitement and energy was tangible! I loved participating last year when they did the FB meet. Good to know there’s more to come – these connections matter immeasurably.
Yes, they DO. Would love to rub elbows with you some time in a virtual coffee shop or some such =))
