FEBRUARY EVENTS: ALACHUA, FLORIDA

On 12 February for two hours (with a 20 min break), beginning at 2 p.m., I'll be at the Alachua Florida library, offering the WRITE. WRITE IT NOW! workshop. Then on 20 Fev 2011 I'll return to Alachua Library (also at 2 pm) for an event celebrating release of THE SALVATION OF MAGGIE RIDER: Stories from Nokofta. I'll also have copies of SOUTHERN COMFORTS: Rooted in a Florida Place along. Hope to see old friends and new friends. Coming home!

Here's the workshop description; it's a lot of fun:

WRITE IT. WRITE IT NOW!
Tips, Tricks, and Techniques for the Writing Life

Sudye Cauthen, author of Florida Book Award Winner SOUTHERN COMFORTS: Rooted in a Florida Place offers a workshop about incorporating writing into our busy lives: how to keep the words coming, whether poetry, fiction, or nonfiction; exercises to sharpen skills of observation; openings and closings. The creation of memoir and its rewards, syntax, tone, flashbacks, and the centrality of yearning. The value of timelines, recognizing soft underbellies, and feeding the muse. We will come away excited about language. This workshop is open to the public; please call the ALachua Library to reserve a seat as space is limited. This workshop is open to the public at no charge.
