Some of you know that I started and maintain the Bayou Writers' Group blog. Yesterday, I received a submission from Dr. Stan Weeber, a McNeese professor who wrote the book In Search of Derrick Todd Lee. I remembered I haven't interviewed Dr. Weeber for Louisiana Saturday Night. I'll have to remedy that. But, back to Flashbulb memories:
From Wikepedia: Flashbulb memories are highly detailed, exceptionally vivid 'snapshots' of the moment and circumstances in which surprising and consequential (or emotionally arousing) news was heard.[1] Flashbulb memories have six characteristic features: place, ongoing activity, informant, own affect, other affect, and aftermath.[1] Flashbulb memories are believed to be highly resistant to forgetting.
Interesting, huh? Go to BayouWriters' Group blog and read more.

What I'm Doing These Days
I've been so consumed with preparation for this Saturday's BWG meeting, that I haven't given any thought to blogging. Guess that really means I haven't had anything to say. Wrong!
I've finished Chapter One of a new novel and I'm so excited about it. I'm moving on to chapter Two. I have 100 rough pages and probably should go forward with the last 100, but you know me... gotta stop and revise before I can move on. My downfall.
I've got several really good interviews lined up. Louisiana authors are everywhere and I enjoy meeting them.
I can drive through town and point to places on my right and my left, and honestly say, "My daughter's resume is there, and there, and there, and there." Hopefully, someone will hire her soon. Please?
American Idol is back and I'm excited. Look at the hopefuls here. I thought I might have to forego this year if 'Bikini Girl' moved on to the next level. Whew! That was close.
I've written three poems, and received an encouraging rejection on one of them. I've submitted a memoir-type story to the Narrative Magazine contest. This periodical is so good. Check it out.
Oh yeah, I'm back to my roots and feelin' like a writer again. That happens when I follow my instinct and not the crowd.
Tell me what you're doing these days.
