Today I spent over two hours at my friend Pam's house with our little writing group. Granted a large part of that was spent talking about non-writing things like the fact that Pam and I are both giddy about the fact that we're probably going to Salt Lake City's Comic Con and the strangeness of the fact that Die Hard is a Christmas movie...but we also solved a major writing problem I was having this week.
It was awesome - I had felt totally stuck earlier in the day and thought "Well, I'll run this by Pam and Jenny and see if they can help." In about five minutes we had it figured out to the point that I'm once again excited to work on it.
Some people say that writers shouldn't talk about their writing...and I get that. I wouldn't want to sit down and spin out the entire plot to someone, I can imagine that might suck some life out of it. However, talking about writing, especially with my writing buddies, has never been anything but encouraging and inspiring for me. And today was no exception.

Fourth of July and Random Geek Good News
I am a horrible, horrible blogger lately. And it isn't like there isn't good stuff to blog about. Tracy and I had an awesome Independence Day Weekend. It started with a really fun dinner with Tracy's family on Thursday night, Tricia came with Julia and we went out with Chris and Stacia and Talon. I got to see Chris and Stacia's new house, and it's really cute.
Friday I was in my pajamas until 1:00, which is always a good day. For dinner we went to our favorite local park and had a picnic, and the best part was that there was hardly anyone there. It was quiet and shady and fairly darn perfect.
Then we lit off our own little stash of fireworks (I bought aerials for the first time and they were all kinds of awesome) and did our usual tradition of watching A Capitol Fourth, which always reminds of us our favorite Fourth of July when we were in D.C.
There - YAY!! I blogged about something - there is hope.
On the geek front there were two really fun pieces of Arrow related news today - Brandon Routh who played Superman in Superman Returns just got cast as a recurring character who is also a superhero (one I've never heard of, but still, very cool) and they're adding my favorite character from the show, Felicity Smoak, to the new series of Green Arrow comic books. Fun.
