How to use this Page

Wow, what a week. I can't begin to convey all the information, advice and tips that were zooming around this conference.

The Muse Conference is an amazing concept. I will plug it from now until next year's is at our doorstep. It is an astounding opportunity for writers to learn their craft, or a new one, get advice and tips, network, and move forward in their careers.

Before this week I didn't realize that Lea Schizas and Carolyn Howard-Johnson actually thought of disabled writers who can't attend conference in person and writers who can't afford to go to them when they considered joining forces to attempt this wonderful and arduous undertaking. This type of altruistic act is a blessing for those in these categories. It allows us to partake of the knowledge and experience of wonderful writers, authors, editors, marketers, and publishers. And, it gives us the opportunity to get professional critiques of pieces of our writing within some of the workshops offered.

But hold on, if this isn't enough, you are given the opportunity to PITCH YOUR WORK!

I couldn't be more thankful and appreciative of Lea and Carolyn's time, effort, expense, and the obvious caring that goes into these amazing conferences.

So, what am I actually saying here? Simple: Sign up for next year's Muse Online Writers Conference as soon as you can!

Registration opens in November; I'll post a link here when it's available.

And, while it is absolutely FREE, if you can afford to please help out with the conferences by donating whatever you can - even a dollar is something!

Did you find it as fantastic as I did? I'd love to know.

Well, that's it for now,

Karen

Having just grumbled about dodgy journalism, I feel that I ought to say that I really liked this article by Charles McGrath:
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/05/movies/05mcgr.html?ex=1343880000&en=f861b08256a54dc3&ei=5124&partner=permalink&exprod=permalink Good interviews with me and with Matthew Vaughn and Jane Goldman. And I liked the description of the film on the NYT webpage, “Stardust” is a fantasy film that can be watched not just by the “Lord of the Rings” crowd, but also by people who wouldn’t be caught dead at a fantasy film.

I no longer remember why I am holding a curtain in the photograph.
