Whither the Writers Center?

The Writers’ Center of Indiana was due to close because of financial problems. All the talent in this city, in this area, and we couldn't keep that simple product on the shelf? Well, word is that they are struggling forward. Fortunately they have also created a Facebook site. Thanksto the times we live in, they can still be reached and still teach. Thanks also to Chris for providing the link. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=52741081294

I am taking a sabbatical until 2010. Check the Writers Center out. Maybe they have a class for you. It is always wise to take classes from more than one person (tho' I love to see repeaters in my class). It broadens your perspective. Remember my disclaimer at the beginning of each class: This is my way. It may not be the same as others do. Highway, Byway, or back roads, the trip is as important as the destination...except in writing because you get paid only when you reach the destination. Nevertheless, you do pick up some interesting tidbits along the way so enjoy the trip, take pics, then write those suckers down.

Speaking of links to places, Miss Heather sent this one. More outlets.

And another though it appears slightly out of date, take a gander at this site. http://www.squidoo.com/localwritersassociationsbystate#module11220921

I will be returning the final papers soon. Then I will plunge into the triple deadlines of three totally different works. The third arrived this a.m. with a sample deadline of August 3rd. 9000 words. Urgh. It is a YA psycho thriller. Main character? A teenage girl. Now if I was in any other profession, my upcoming three week fixation on a young, trouble teenager would probably get me arrested. But no! I'm a writer and now I must become that young lady. Fortunately it is more about horror than it is complexion.

Keep your fingers crossed. I'll let you know how it comes out.
