Sad, but true.
Deadlines in the monitor may be closer than they appear
My ten-week Blogging for Writers course begins online 7-8:30pm Wednesday, April 21st 6:30-8 Tuesday, May 18th and runs subsequent Tuesdays 7-8:30 and once a week for a total of ten weeks. You don’t need any blogging experience; we’ll build the blog right in the first class. You do need a computer with a mic, so you can join the Skype conversation, or you need an ability to type almost as fast as you think so you can textSkype and keep up. And, obviously, an internet connection of better than dialup speeds.
Here are the full details:
Blogging for Writers
Learn how to get the most out of blogs for promotion, sales, networking and (unexpectedly) to improve your writing.
In this hands-on workshop we’ll cover setting up a blog, connecting with and managing an audience, using the blog for promotion and sales, and how a blog can make you a better writer, working our way through writers’ exercises and gathering feedback from the class. Be prepared to participate!
The discipline of a daily blogger is a prerequisite to developing a body of work that functions as your online portfolio. Use your blogging as a tool to develop a powerful, confident voice and tackle writing challenges in a supportive, low-pressure environment. Includes exercises and benchmarks to help you analyze your progress and keep your work growing even after the class ends.
I’ve offered this in abbreviated form before; this will be the first complete course, as opposed to an afternoon or a day’s work. There WILL be homework, and it WILL be checked (in fact, it’s due 24 hours before the next class, so I have time to check all the work).
Cost is $250, email bloggingclasses at gmail dot com to register.
Amen to that. But silence about HPL???

Yes, explaining anything to the French is a bit challenging, isn’t it?

This one came from the handy Mandy mailing list, a very useful little list for anyone in the film industry who may be looking for work, which is a set which generally includes everyone in the film industry. Here are the deets:
How it Works
● Anyone may compete from anywhere in the world.
● There are 2 rounds.
● 1st Round (April 16 – 24, 2010) : Writers are placed randomly in heats. Each heat is assigned a genre and a subject (ex. comedy : competing lemonade stands or horror : a family reunion).
● Writers have 8 days to write an original short screenplay (15 pages max) based on their genre and subject assignment.
● Winners are chosen from the 1st Round to advance to the 2nd round and compete for over $20,000 in cash and prizes.
● 2nd Round (June 4 – 5, 2010) : All of the writers receive the same genre and subject at midnight (EST time) and have just 24 hours to write an original short screenplay (15 pages max.).
● A panel of judges review the final round screenplays and winners are chosen!
To enter, first check out the Fine Print and then register via this link and pay your $49 (no, not cheap, but quite a BIT cheaper than a professional critique, which you’re getting with the entry anyway).
