Sending my first newsletter out in a while…
Excuse me for my delinquency…
I used to be really good at sending out newsletters to remind readers when I had a story that ran online or in magazines, for those people who didn’t want to read all my blog posts. Occasionally, I would send out a story or some other freebie via the newsletter, as well.

Analysis: My first writing workshop for adults
Along with writing and editing, I’ve coached writers one-on-one off-and-on for the last couple years. I’ve presented writing workshops and made author visits to groups even longer than that, but those groups always consisted of school children. Yesterday, for the first time, I combined the two and taught a writing workshop for fledgling writers aged 15 and up. Actual grown-ups attended!
The Crash Course
Since my greatest area of expertise is writing for tots, tweens, and teens, I decided to offer a three-hour crash course in writing for those groups. My husband agreed to whisk away the kids who weren’t in school (some Jewish day school kids attend on Sunday mornings), and I prepared materials and advertised.
Overtime
I thought three hours would be enough, I really did. Continue reading

Passover looming ahead: Not quite panicking yet
Due to the onslaught of housework, etc., that Pesach entails, as well as some nifty work assignments, I’ll be posting less for the next month or so. However, I do want to share with my readers several bits of good news: Continue reading
