I just started a new workshop titled Empowering Character’s Emotion that Margie Lawson is teaching this month. I raved about two of Margie’s workshops when I got back from the Moonlight & Magnolias conference last October. I was soooo impressed , and taken aback with, the information she presented, that I immediately began to apply some of my new found knowledge to my wip that night.
I also realized that I could use a bit more “face time” with Margie, so I registered for her Empowering Character Emotions workshop this month. Just let me tell you, we’ve only had 3 lesson so far, and the sheer amout of info I’ve learned is astonishing, and a bit overwhelming. But I know that when I start the polishing phase (the last step in getting my manuscript ready for pitching to editors), that I will be ready. With the things I’ve learned, I’ll be able to put my best foot foward by making sure my manuscript conveys the essence and soul I want it to.
So, for any writers out there, published or unpublished, I highly recommend you check out Margie’s website and sign up for one of her online workshops, or get one of her lecture packets. It will be an investment in your writing that you will be able to see immediate returns on, in the way of stronger, fresher writing.
