Another Great Workshop!

This week I had the pleasure of teaching a Young Authors Workshop to five fine writers at Firefly Moon in Arlington. They were a lively group – we shared much laughter and fun, along with many serious moments and quiet writing times. It was the best balance for inspiration to bloom into the wonderful work . . . → Read More: Another Great Workshop!
