It's me again. The Pacific Northwest has been experiencing another streak of sunny, glorious weather. In the past week I could swear there was a hint of spring in the air and my allergy symptoms seem to bear this out. And I'm fascinated how the shade of blue in the winter sky is so much less intense than in the summer sky.  Lovely, subtle color.

The other good news is that there is still time to register for Making it in Changing Times coming up this Saturday on the 25th. Perfect way to jumpstart your career and writing practice. Jammed with practical information you can immediately put to use. You can find more information here 

Did I mention it's a mere $99 and that includes a Continental breakfast and lunch?

Karen Karbo as our keynote, Sage Cohen, Rhonda Hughes of Hawthorne Books (don't you want to know why she started a publishing company?) C. Morgan Kennedy and Therese Patrick of Author Marketing 101. Talk about a brain trust. And I'll be talking about Secrets & Lies and 10 Techniques for Great Beginnings. Actually, I don't think that's quite the name of the workshop, but you get the idea. It's Monday morning. I had a lovely, lovely weekend at the coast and got to speak to the Pacific University MFA students. Then there was the endless sky and briny sea air.....and the salt water taffy and seafood (a bit too much I'm afraid)...well, I'm just not quite back to my usual state....my heart is still near the Pacific.

Seriously, join us on Saturday.
