Since receiving a cancer diagnosis this June 2021, my events have been medical, not fun writing ones.
But talk about love--my awesome daughter and sister created a GoFundMe page.
What a blessing!

The Wordsowers Christian Writers group invited me to teach the workshop
Writer, Stop Beating Yourself Up
May 25, 2017, 6PM @ Swanson Library, 90th & Dodge, Omaha

We’re often our own harshest critics. That negativity can stifle our creative flow, and hinder our momentum. Join me  for a night of encouragement and fresh starts.

We’ll not only give ourselves a “grace pass,” we'll use five keys to identify--and eradicate--the culprits that hinder our writing process.
Together we'll move forward with creating, honing, and submitting our work.


This meeting is free, and open to the public.

It was a blessing to share with such awesome people, and I look forward to the next one.
