What’s a writer’s night?

This week, Donna K. Weaver and I are hosting a writers’ night (Wednesday, June 19, 7-8 PM, American Fork [Utah] Public Library). The #1 question on everyone’s mind has been What’s a writers’ night?

mini poster2Answer: a night of learning, games and fun for writers! Donna and I will each be making a very short presentation on some aspect of writing—I think Donna will be having fun with apostrophes, and I’ll be digging into show, don’t tell. We’re hoping to make our presentations appeal to writers on all different skill levels, so whether you’re a multi-published author or a total n00b, we’ll all be able to have fun and learn together.

Once we get that learning stuff out of the way, it will be time for writing games! What kind of games? Games to help writers dig into body language, create cool images, generate new ideas and have fun! Plus we’ll generate some extreme flash fiction. What’s not to love about that?

So come join us!

Also coming up: Canada Day AWESOMENESS at the Pleasant Grove City Library! July 1, 7-9 PM! Read more!

What would you do for a writers’ night?

The book launch!

I’d be remiss if I didn’t share some about my book launch!

Donna put together a great montage of all the highlights:

To be totally honest, I think my reading went terribly—talking slow takes a lot of effort for me, and I needed more to set up the scene. Sigh. But that’s okay. I’ve finally dispelled the lingering gloom from that, and nobody hates me because of it. . . . Right?

Thanks to everyone who came out to support us—and many thanks to the Orem Public Library, Donna, Kristi, & Kim for making this event unforgettable!

Two fun bits of good news!

I’ve been reaching out to book bloggers, and I have to say Whit of Whit’s Book World wins the speed record! I contacted her yesterday to offer the book, she accepted and I sent it—and today she’s posted her review! I’m so excited! And nervous. Even though I’ve already read the review. Still nervous.

Yay. Another writer neurosis.

Another bit of good news from my email lately: the Orem Public Library, where my friend Donna Weaver and I are holding our book launch, has made up a poster to promote the event!
