Good Authoring Day to YOU 

As usual, the Virtual Author Happy Hour was fun yesterday … if you aren’t playing here … why not … it’s a great way to realize that 1- it’s Friday and 2- not talking “work” can be a good thing!

This AM, I will be tree replacement planting. Our winter here in Colorado, took out a few of mine. Now that it’s warming up, I can see what didn’t make it and get new ones in so they have several months to root in. Sigh … but it happens!

 

And … my Speaking Unplugged is not slated for Friday and Saturday June 26-27 in Denver. Details are on my website under Events: www.TheBookShepherd.com. We will be setting it up for “space” between seats.

 

Love the new group of authors-to-be in my How to Write a Book in 4 Weeks online class. Nine participants range from San Francisco, CA –Lawrence, KS – Mesa, AZ – Denver, CO – Vancouver, CAN … love the mix and match that surfaced. It’s intense … yet fun. This week is Week 3. Titles are secure … some have domains … email signatures altered to include books… lots to writing going on!

Alert to all of you  who are VIP AuthorYOU members … the MAY second Saturday AuthorYOU Salons of the year is slated for June will be either live or virtual. As it gets closer to June 13th gets closer, decisions will be made. Either way, it starts at 8.30 a.m., ending at 10.30 a.m. That’s Mountain time.

 

 

Take care of yourself …
