I’m extremely excited to announce two very important things happening in my little world.
First, I want to introduce you to my new business manager and co-instructor: my fantastic husband, Jason! He’s already helping me stay on track and make fancy business decisions.
He’s also partially responsible for my next announcement:
We’re running writing workshops!
Over our fourteen years together, Jason and I have realized what a passion we have for good storytelling – and that we also have very strong opinions about it. He is a self-taught expert in setting and character development, while my English major self loves digging into plot and the more technical aspects of story. With our powers combined, we figured we could run one hell of a workshop (or two, or three).
And so we dreamed up the This Is Fiction online workshop series, which will begin on February 22 with the Developing Your Story intensive weekend workshop. DYS is for people who have an idea for an adventure or characters that won’t leave them alone, but who aren’t sure where to begin writing. Registration is now open, so check it out!
We’d love for you to join us, but if you can’t, get your name on our mailing list and we’ll let you know when the next class is coming.
Did I say I had two announcements? I meant three.
Punctuation Love Valentines are now here.
That’s right, you can now tell your friends and family that you love them as much as you love good grammar. And because I love all of you, I’ve made this a downloadable, pay-what-you-want product. So go, download, print, and share!
