We're LIVE in Decatur, IL!

It's a beautiful, sunny day here in Decatur, IL where we are LIVE with the Writers Express Seminar. We've discussed where to find ideas. We've brainstormed with others to find new angles to ideas we want to write about. Linda covered the mechanics of strong writing, answering the question, "Is the serial comma still current?"

I shared the sweet simple story of my son's gift to me when he was four, "Just an Ordinary Rock" and talked about the difference in writing for devotionals, books, magazine articles and newspapers.

We role-played an enthusiastic, but poorly written query letter, which encouraged a great deal of laughter, but made its point. Before we break for lunch, Linda is pictured here discussing the elements of a book proposal.

Wow! That's just from the morning session, we still have the experts panel, writing for the web and much, much more to share this afternoon. Stay tuned!
