Okay since I was ill yesterday and missed writing the challenge, I figured I would attack it today. It kind of works out because the two prompts are somewhat related.

I can’t even begin to list all of the classes I have taken over the years to hone my skills. It seems as if I am always in one class or another. I will mention a few of them here. As previously mentioned I started my writing career by taking two classes at the Institute of Children’s Literature; http://www.institutechildrenslit.com/. I also took one at the sister school Longridge Writer’s Group; http://www.longridgewritersgroup.com/ for writing novels for adults. Writers Village University; https://www.writersvillage.com/is another place that offers great classes. Another place where I have taken a couple of classes is with Beth Jones http://www.bethjones.net/. Beth is a great instructor that has helped to keep me grounded spiritually as well as focused on my writing. In fact she would be classified as one of my mentors and role models.

Just recently I have started a few classes with Karina Fabian at http://karinafabian.com/. I would also consider her one of my writing role models.

Other role models: Darlene Reilley qualifies as a role model, mentor and the other half of my brain. I don’t know where my writing would be without her love and support.

A few friends from my ICL days are Trish Green, Lucie Bouchard Antoniazzi and George Kulz. Even though I have never met these three in person we traveled through our classes at ICL together and have kept in touch and supported each other on our life journeys.

There are so many other people that I could mention and I’m meeting new ones all the time, so I’ll just stop there.

There is one more question I want to answer; Teaching workshops. I have taught a couple. While still living in Washington state in prep for NANO I taught a couple of writing workshops. I have also helped two Girl Scout troops work on writing badges through a series of workshops. I really enjoy working with the teens and would love the opportunity to do it again, when the opportunity presents itself. Someday when my writing load eases up a little I will explore that again.

Author Blog Challenge: Day One

When I decided to do this I don’t know that I had any particular goals in mind. Now as Day One is upon me and I embark on this challenge and having chosen to write for the prompt I am forced to consider it.

As I sit at my desk in the Dragon’s Lair typing these words the answers start to coalesce. My first goal is to have a little fun and write outside my w.i.p’s. There is so much pressure to write on one project or another and I often feel blocked, my muse locks the door and runs away. This is an opportunity for her to come out without that pressure, to just write for the fun of it, something totally unrelated to the w.i.p’s.
This is due to the pressure that the cheap sildenafil uk hematoma causes on the brain tissue that can further result to serious damages on it. Men, who release sperms during sleep involuntarily, are said to india pharmacy viagra be suffering from night discharge. From the worldwide case study of impotence, it has been observed that 30% men suffering with impotence are in age group of viagra pill for sale 20 to 35 years. Honestly speaking, I never know that I’ll be completely sexually different viagra without prescription man.
I can’t really say that I want to increase traffic to my blog, because that is something, although it would be nice, that I don’t worry about. My books are what I want the world to look at, not my blog. I know that it can help build an audience, but for me it takes away from the time I could be spending on my novels.

So why am I doing this; I suppose it’s for the extra writing practice, priming the pump to use a cliche. To develop the habit of writing everyday, to prepare for NANO in November. My habits have become sloppy and need to be adjusted before that wonderful month is upon me.  So the dragons suggested that I might be doing this for fun, to write something outside the usual posts on the blog.
