Thanks to everyone who came to the Write On! Workshop Cincy Style yesterday. Judging from the evaluations, and speaking for Val and me, a great time was had by all! And didn’t Colleen Zuber at the Refuge Coffee Bar serve us a great lunch? Steve Gillen’s presentation on Copyrights and Contracts (and all the extra tips he gave us!) is surely going to save many of us a lot of headaches.
For yesterday’s participants: did you feel as if your head was spinning and you couldn’t write fast enough? For those who couldn’t make it: are you kicking yourself now? Never fear! Sign up now for the Write On! Workshop that we’re holding in Dayton on March 31, 2012. See you there!

Are you looking for a place to share your writing in an atmosphere of trust? Where you can get good, constructive feedback? Please join us for learning the gentle art of critiquing others’ writing and being critiqued. Bring seven minutes’ worth of manuscript and $5 for the kitty (more if you plan on eating!).
Please note that this month we will be starting a half hour earlier than usual.

That building has been many things. The last restaurant in that place was Uno’s. It is also known as the Ludlow Garage. They’re giving us a private room. If you arrive a few minutes early, you can try the all-you-can-eat buffet for $9.95, get yourself settled and then not worry about talking to a waiter!
Please let me know if you will be joining us — and feel free to invite a friend!
See you Sunday, December 18, at 1:30 p.m. at Olive’s!
