Last night I returned home from the Coastal Carolina Writers Retreat. What a great experience! I did a workshop on internet research tips and had a room of really bright, helpful people. We were all sharing ideas and resources back and forth and I think the participants learned something new.
I met some really great people there. Gerry Murak, who is behind the project Our Fathers Who Art in Heaven gave a great impromptu mini-workshop on blogging. By the way, he has a wonderful book with heartwarming stories of the fathers who have touched our lives. He is planning to do a whole series, so check out his website if you’re interested in submitting a tribute for consideration.
I was lucky enough to share a car ride to the airport with Joel Fotinos from Penguin Putnum and he was very down to earth, honest and personable. He also gave us a very accurate insight into the publishing world during his seminar.
If I comment about everything I learned at this writers retreat this blog post will go on forever, so I’ll write often over the next week or so with different tidbits.
Until next time.
