Hey Folks,
Happy birthday to my dad. He would have been 90 years old today.
Taking the day “off” today for professional training. (grin)
Yesterday I completed the “Cliffhangers” classic workshop. Mostly I learned that I already know cliffhangers (and I thought I did).
That’s all right. The validation from a guy who has over three decades in the business and over 200 novels is more than worth the money. And besides, I DID pick up a few things I didn’t know and hadn’t considered. That felt like a bonus.
If you believe a cliffhanger is only a physical thing, I recommend this course. It is excellent.
Today, I’ll finish making my way through the Pacing classic workshop.
This one is packed full of information. And that’s my early assessment when I’m less than halfway through. Wow.
If anybody’s interested, email me and I’ll give you my rundown of the best online workshops for sheer amount of information.
See you soon.
