This is the middle of an insanely busy couple of weeks in my day job, so this will be a shorter post. Be sure to stick to the end for information on a giveaway I’m coordinating.
I know you’re an avid reader, or you wouldn’t be here.
But are you interested in writing?
I’ll be teaching three workshops at ACFW in September with my writing buddy Pepper Basham. Last week we hopped on a call to brainstorm or avoid writing deadlines…you can pick LOL. We were having so much fun that we both rushed to put on makeup and hopped on Zoom. Here’s a bit of what we’ll be sharing in our workshops. It’s going to be a hoot, y’all!
You can also come and enjoy StoryFest, a unique opportunity for readers to connect with writers. The website contains the list of authors, and it’s a good one. If you use my code (carputman), you’ll get $20 off the cost of registration. I’d love to see you there! Who’s an author you’d love to meet?
Y’all, in this week’s episode of Book Talk, I had so much fun hanging out with my romantic suspense writing friends Mary Alford, Elizabeth Goddard, and Natalie Walters. We chatted about writing, plotting and pantsing, how ideas come to life, and much more. Did you know two of these authors love eating peanut M&Ms while they write? Do you know who’d they like to spend time with? Then come join the conversation here. And be sure to go to the end to enter the giveaway.
