Hi Jennifer–

Thanks for you interest!

I’ve been doing workshops for the FF&P chapter of RWA all fall and haven’t had time to schedule an Athena workshop. We will be working on our Spring schedule soon. Check back in a week or two and we’ll have it up. I’m sure we’ll be offering the backstory workshop.

Hi!
I was just wondering if you will be offering any workshops this month or next? Will you be offering the Backstory workshop in the near future?

Thanks!

Jenn

Unfortunately, I’ve been out of town and missed your class. Please let me know the next time you offer it.

I should add that I check in several times each day to check on the discussion. Some discussions are very lively. Other days the class is mostly quiet as everyone is busy working on assignments.

Hi, Robin. Thanks for asking.

Our online workshops don’t have a meeting time, per se. I generally post lectures each morning, Monday through Friday. The lectures are intended to open up the discussion and everyone is invited to chime in with her thoughts or questions.

There will be 4 assignments over the course of the two weeks. The assignments generally invite you to post parts of your WIP. Unlike most of our workshops, Backstory is looking at some very specific techniques for portraying backstory. You may have to edit or add scenes that use the suggested techniques for the exercise. In other words, if you don’t have a flashback scene you’ll have to create one for the flashback exercise.

Please, let me know if I can answer any additional questions.

Hi,

I’m interested in the “…Wings on Backstory…” class. However, there’s not enough information about it. Will it be twice per week? Daily? Will there be a chance to post the areas in my ms that are concerning me. Creating ones for practice is not at as enticing as working on the one I’ve got.
Thanks,
Robin

Comment on Writing Tip: Inspiration is everywhere! by Flo Fitzpatrick

While not as impressive as Teresa’s pictures, the park I live only two blocks from has – ta-da! Bald eagles. They don’t hang out at the same place every day (most days one doesn’t see them at all) but when a bald eagle is sitting on the top of a light pole eyeing you as you pass by – well – if you don’t feel awe and some sort of thrill, you’re probably a slug!

Every time I do see one of these gorgeous creatures my spirits lift – I am inspired to go DO something majestic – even if it’s only write a paragraph or two.

Now – if I could just figure out how to work my cell phone with the photo thingee and snap a picture while hanging on to two leashes of two dogs who think it’s more fun to chase the ducks than stay still while “mom” stares at the eagles!
