Research,
Writing Let me start this post by saying how much I love my local RWA. Not only do we have some terrific members, we have some awesome programs!
Last weekend I attended our monthly meeting barely able to contain my excitement. You see, we had scheduled a talk from our local paranormal team of investigators!
The group came in dressed in matching black t-shirts and set up their equipment – yes, if you’ve seen the TV show – “The Ghost Hunters” – it was all there. The digital recorders, the FLIR cameras, the K2 meter, all the cool ghost hunting equipment known to man.
As the group went through their presentation, teaching us the difference between apparitions, shadow figures and demons – we learned that the very best ghost hunting equipment is what nature gave each and every one of us. All your senses!
The team ran through many of our local legends and either debunked them, showed some evidence to support some possible oddities, or confirmred they could find no basis in fact. They played EVPs that had me jumping out of my chair and showed images they’ve caught that were truly amazing.
For the believers and the non-believers in the audience, there was something for everyone to either confirm their beliefs or just enough fodder to give their next story some accurate paranormal depictions. If you ever get the chance to talk to a paranormal team from your area, I would definitely recommend it! 
If you don’t have a local group – check out my local groups website and get the lowdown on how they do things. You just might find something interesting along the way!
So, are you a believer or a non-believer in the paranormal?

Writing First, I love this time of year – the stores are filled with writing gadgets and gizmos. Pads, pens and pencils all in different colors, various shapes and syles to entice me to plunk down some cash. But when it comes to actually using those items to write? Nope. I don’t use them. Instead you’ll find me at the computer tapping the keyboard or on my Palm tapping at my wireless keyboard attachment.
Maybe this is the reason when faced with actually having to write something with pen or pencil my handwriting is barely legible. Like chickenscratch. Okay, maybe worse. In fact I so seldom even sign my name anymore that I’m afraid if they ask me sign my kids out of school or something and check it against my license (that was signed years ago) they’d lock me up for fraud!
So, I’ve decided that this year is going to be different (much to my husbands delight – only his expectations don’t involve pencils and pens ) – Anyway, I’m actually planning to write with all the funky pens I bought this year!
It’s time to limber up those finger muscles and watch the words flow across the paper, watch my penmanship take shape and improve (a girl can hope, right?)
Has the computer become your main writing tool or do you still sit down, chew on the pencil and write your thoughts out longhand? What’s your style?
