Willamette Writers, Assemble!

Howdy y'all! If you are here at the

Willamette Writers Conference

this weekend, this post is for you!

Three Useful Things:

1. If you are attending the

Conquering the Freshman Fifteen intensive

on Sunday afternoon

(and you should!), make sure to download,

print

, and read through both of these first chapters:

The Nightingale (first 15)

and

The Martian (first 15)

. Please bring them both with you on Sunday!

2. If you would like the slide decks from my weekend presentations

(

No Mustard on Your Shirt: Spill-Proofing Your Grammar and Style

, or

Juice Box Hero: Squeezing Plot From Character

),

sign up here

by Sunday and I will send them to you!

3. If you would like a whole-manuscript review of your work in progress

, please let me know! You can

email me - tex at thetexfiles.com - by Friday, August 9th.

(You can send your actual manuscript later on, but I need to save your place before my calendar fills up completely!)

Good? Great! See you conference-side, and remember: this weekend, it's kickass-thirty, and the big hand is on you!
