A Personal Milestone

     Last Tuesday marked a day I've been hoping for, for quite awhile.  Not an active, "get up every morning, look to the East and pray" kind of hope, but a small ember burning dimly in a hidden cave of my consciousness.
     Tuesday, a few friends invited me to join them in forming and maintaining, a writers' forum style, on-line publication.  It was hatched in the rapier sharp mind of a young writer named Heather Tinker.  She contacted three of her writer friends, one of whom I am lucky enough to be.  Long time newspaper man and author, Keith George, got the call along with accomplished photographer and writer, Dave Elder. We'd previously been in a writing group together, and Heather chose us, perhaps because she couldn't think of anyone else foolish enough to bite into such an undertaking.
     As I headed out to the first gathering, I didn't know know who would be included. However, I knew that there is another writer that I always want involved in any project of this stature that I'm connected to.  She's a superb writer and coincidentally, my daughter Heather Humphrey.  I hog-tied her and dragged her the WOTENY organizational meeting at Barns & Noble in Vestal, NY.
     It's become obvious from the short meeting, and the follow-up details we've been following up on, that the two Heathers are going to be the driving forces of our fledgling publication.
     I invite you kind people who follow Somewhat North of Disorder, and my Twitter account, to join me and my co-conspirators as we embark upon this journey into on-line entertainment and enlightenment.
     You can find Write On The Edge NY, at: www.writeontheedgeny.wordpress.com, and on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/writeontheedgeny

     Thank you, and write on!
