New Month
This month is chock full o’ craft. I’ve signed up for a couple of online workshops: Margie Lawson’s Empowering Character’s Emotions and another round of Discovering Story Magic’s Master Class. The latter tends to be hard on the pocketbook, but the feedback is unparalleled (not to mention highly motivational), so I’ve found room in the budget. Based on Margie’s first lecture for the ECE class, that also promises to be pretty intensive. (I spent a good half hour this morning exploring Margie’s website–she’s got lots of great stuff there.)
I have a couple of books sitting in my Amazon cart. Flogging the Quill is the bound incarnation of Ray Rhamey’s excellent blog and is due out in a few weeks.
I’m also planning to buy 45 Master Characters by Victoria Schmidt based on Barbara’s plotting post over at Writer Unboxed, which I found pretty fascinating (despite being a severely left-brained gal myself : ) ).
On a totally unrelated note, I am so thankful that Girl Scout Samoa cookies are only available one time each year and that I only purchased two boxes. They are the devil’s work those cookies.
