Despite my last minute panic, all went really, really well! I had jotted down notes for myself and thought through them so many times that typing them up came quickly, and when I presented materials and started discussions I barely glanced at my typed notes.
We had a small group, just 14 of us, but I think it's going to be a good group for later meetings - we're going to meet every 3rd Monday night - I'm excited! The next meetings will run a bit differently than this one, with less presenting by me. (Yay!) I did discover that I am a little more knowledgeable about writing than I give myself credit for . . . it was a pleasant surprise.
There's probably more I could say about that, but I'm going for a short post today so I can show off Cherie Reich's newest book:
Men
of Foxwick by Cherie Reich is now available! This fantasy short story
collection features five men from the Kingdom of Foxwick.
A
blind teen seeks a place in the kingdom. A dragon seer journeys to Wintermill
to spy on the queen. A sword master’s worst fear comes true when he fails to
protect the royal family. A king falls in love with an herb witch, but will she
feel the same way? A hunter will rise to the challenge to hunt down a
man-eating monster.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for featuring Men of Foxwick on your blog today! I really appreciate it. :)
Glad to hear that the writer's workshop went well. Good luck to Cherie!
ReplyDeleteYou're much smarter than you think! Glad it went well.
ReplyDeleteAnd excited for Cherie.
Thank you, Rachna and Alex!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the workshop was a success. See, no worries.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lot of fun, Tyrean. Neat that you have your own writers group going.
ReplyDeleteYip yip for Cherie! :)
congrats to Cherie!
ReplyDeleteYour workshop sounds like it was brilliant.
So happy it went well. Wish we had a group like that here. There is a writer's group that's been around forever, but it consists of all the old English teachers from our community college and they are a bit snooty.
ReplyDeleteGlad the workshop went well! I think we're usually poor judges of how much knowledge we really, truly have when it comes to writing. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary and Lynda! :)
ReplyDelete14 is an impressive turnout for a workshop and best of luck with it :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Cherie, it looks like a fun book!
Thank you, Mark. :)
ReplyDeleteCherie's book is fantastic! Glad to hear you had a great time at the workshop.
ReplyDeleteMark is right. 14 for a first meeting is great. They'll tell two friends...and so on...and so on...
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the workshop went well! It's nice when all that panic ends up being for nothing. :)
ReplyDeleteHurray for Cherie, too! Her new book looks great!
Thank you, Christine and Heather!
