I’m off at the International Women’s Writing Guild conference and having a great time. After I finish teaching my workshop on Commercial Fiction, I try out the other workshops. Some of them are not what I’m used to at Romance writing conferences, but I’m a firm believer in being adventurous and trying new things (except if they involve being more than 10 feet above the ground!)
So I’ve been taking a mix of classes on the craft of writing and those have yielded thoughts on how to start my new book in a stronger way and how to get emotions into the mix with Carlo, the caterer and chef in book #3 from the At the Shore series.
I’ve also explored other creative avenues. I used to paint and I love to build things, so I took advantage to explore collage and mixed media workshops with two other instructors. In one of the workshops we created a prosperity envelope and I seized the opportunity to let it remind me of my happy place! Can you guess where that is from the photo?
I guess today’s tip is Be Adventurous and try something new!
