I’m so glad a few of you decided to join the Storyteller’s Circle on Saturday. What an incredible afternoon! Songs, stories, history, community! I hope that some of you will make plans to join us in March, too. March 21, 3 to 5 p.m. at the North Bend Visitor’s Center.

The morning before, is the peer-review work shop at 10:30 a.m. until Noon at the North Bend Library Meeting Room. This month’s focus is on first chapters. More information to follow on that next week.

In the interim, you need to be writing, revising, editing, and sending out. When was the last time you sent something out? Sometimes, it could be said, that traditional publishing is a numbers game. To an extent, that can be true. The more you write, the more you send out, the more you’ll learn, the more you’ll get acceptance. Be brave. Kill your fear. Get it out there. Your prompt is to at minimum make a plan to send something out, with a definitive deadline. Best case scenario is to send something out before this time next week. Or send a few things out. Whatever! Just get it read and send it out!

And now your moment of Writing Zen:

“If the book is true, it will find an audience that is meant to read it.”
