In reply to Collette Cameron. Hello Collette -- Sometimes editors are skim-reading so fast, they don't get the cadence. I hope you fought for your gems.

In reply to Christina Crayn. Hello 2-time Immersion-Grad Christina! So great to work with you again. Lots of strong writing! And I'm looking forward to more. Maybe an April or June 2016 Immersion class? :-)

In reply to LizAnn Carson. Hello LizAnn -- You can deepen your story and/or characters with all 30 rhetorical devices I teach writers. And learn when and how to use them to pick up pace, compress time, expand time, slip in backstory, and MORE! Many of those rhetorical devices (when written well) are cadence-driven. Glad you're an RD lover!

Hello Everyone!

My flight from Washington D.C. to Denver was delayed last night. Sorry to keep you waiting for the WINNERS.

Random.org selected: COLETTE CAMERON and BEVERLEY EIKLI!

Collette Cameron -- wins a lecture packet from me.

Beverley Eikli -- wins an online course.

Collette and Beverley -- Please email me and I'll get you set up.

An FYI for EVERYONE:

It's been two years since I taught EMPOWERING CHARACTERS' EMOTIONS, and I'm teaching it online in January.

It's the first of my Big Three courses, the prerequisites for my Fab 30 class (online) and my 4 1/2 day Immersion classes.

Have questions about my online courses or full day workshops or Immersion Master Classes? Ask me: ma****@**********on.com

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE!

It was fantastic to see you at the RWA conference in Melbourne this year. You managed to inspire, motivate and kick me into action.

Wow. I love the whole idea of spicing up my Manuscript, Margie. Here's my attempt.

The captain of the British-built clipper aimed at nine knots. Nine knots! He sliced through the sea like a madman in full attack mode.
