March Updates for Springs Writers


Writing Intensive CANCELLED
The writing intensive this Saturday, March 9 at Panera Bread is CANCELLED. As you may or may not know, my son was killed in Afghanistan a little over a year ago. The Fort Carson Fallen Heroes Center planned a last minute event for survivors that I need to attend. I will reschedule the date after I figure out my commitments. I synced my new Mac with my iPhone to update my calendar and contacts, not realizing that my iPhone was synced to my old Mac that blew up. I thought I was ADDING contacts and calendar dates to my iPhone. Instead, the sync ERASED every contact and date on my calendar. So NOT fun.
