Saturday Morning Basic Training

This Saturday July 11th at 8:30 am will be the first class for all of you who expressed an interest in learning basic writing techniques and principles. This month's early class is Active Vivid Writing, and it will cover passive vs. active voice construction, active verbs and words that slow down your writing.

We're going to launch this early workshop on a trial basis and see how many are serious about attending. Please let me know if you'll be there, so I can have enough handouts.

I suggest you start a binder or a notebook if you don't already have one, so that you have your material at hand for review and study. I encourage you to send me five manuscript formatted pages from your current project in the next day or two. (Double spaced, 25 lines per page.) Send to: SaintJohn@aol.com

If you're just learning the craft, one important thing to remember is that we were all starting out once, and we've all been where you are right now.

*lizzie and Jenn will focus on Showing Vs. Telling for the program, so you will be getting double the education this month! Remember to bring pages for that, as well.

See you Saturday!
Cher :-)
