Writer-Reminders .... the weekly ezine for sidetracked writers.

June 22. 2005 -  Chat with me Thursday / Franklin Covey sale

 


Thought fo
r the Week -
Chat and Learn

  

This week's newsletter is short and sweet (I don't know about you, but summertime is squashing my interest in sitting at the computer!).

The Institute of Children's Literature hosts regular chats with writers and authors. In fact you can read through the old transcripts at
http://www.institutechildrenslit.com/rx/tr01/index.shtml

You'll find tons of info about writing for children and the writing business.

On Thursday, June 23, 8-10 p.m. Eastern, I'm chatting with them about getting organized. Come join us Thursday!

 

Happy writing (and organizing)!

 
 
Best, 
Julie

I'm addicted to office supplies.... if you are as addicted as me, check out the biggest sale of the year at FranklnCovey. Save up to 50% and they will pay the shipping with a $99 purchase.

Sometimes all it takes to get me jump-started is some new office supplies...

"Julie, I am sending a quick note to thank you for your well measured and extra-ordinary website. You have a tremendous amount of information at a very reasonable cost. I subscribed to your free site and, for the first time in forty years of writing, found a planner that works for me.  I felt so guilty for receiving so much information free from your
site that I have now ordered and downloaded the e book. I have found that you have struck a cord among so  many writers regarding procrastination and simple  organization. Keep up the good work.
