Greetings!
I'm still buzzing from our last Writers' Clinic Online session!
Callie Browning's presentation was so inspiring.
My take: "Self publishing may be time-consuming, hard work; however, when done right, it can be very rewarding."
I know what I'll be doing when I retire! 🤭😉😂
Callie has been kind enough to share the Key Takeaways from her session.

Please, if you care to, post your workshop poems here.....
Your poem reminded me of my own mother, Nailah. In life, she was warm and soft and I loved her hugs. I love, love, love, the final line. I hope that you do in fact do something with these poems and look forward to other workshops.
Sharon-Rose, you poem is highly visual. I can see your mother in the church. It took me back to days of sitting upstairs in the Anglican church, looking down in the congregation to find people I knew. I picture you, like a little girl, searching anxiously to find your mother in that congregation on the TV screen. Love this piece.

My biggest take away from this month's session was the idea of writing your novel's synopsis and back page blurb, plus creating your cover BEFORE writing the story. The motivational aspect of doing this appeals to me,
I plan my novellas in detail, therefore, producing the synopsis should be relatively easy.
What are your thoughts?
What was the best gem Wayne share in your opinion?
Yes it was extremely informative. As someone who is a unapologetic pantser, the idea of planning was intriguing, and the idea of doing the blurb, cover and synopsis made me think differently about certain things. All in all a lovely session as usual!

Hi Cori,
Like you, I currently use MS Word to plan the plot, characters and setting. However, I'll probably try Story Plotter and definitely want to use Page Tracker. I think the latter will be quite motivational since I'm (usually) goal oriented.
I think I might check out Write Way Pro too since I've heard positive things about that app.
Thanks for responding!
Looking forward to seeing you next month!
Attached is the slide presentation (with a few adaptations) from the session.
I trust you'll find it useful. 🙏🏾
Please upload your "homework" in the comments section.
As I mentioned, I'll receive a notification when you post and will offer feedback.
Looking forward.... 😊🤩😇
