The top ten mistakes fiction writers make–can you name them? And do you know how to fix them? If there is a fuzz of doubt in your mind, then you need to join us in January 2010 for the workshop below. Note: There is a registration form in the “Top Ten” tab above. See ya on the Oregon coast!
You’ll find lively, humorous sessions on: The Sloooow Start, Shaky Structure, Perfect Then Push On, Research-o-Rama, Who Are These People?
