Spring, where art thou?

Of course, March is still March. In previous years we've not been surprised to have cold weather in March. But this past winter has been lonnnngg and cold so we're tired of it. Begging spring to come on, already. She will, and then we'll be scrambling to get the usual spring things done, complaining about the grass growing so fast, no time to write. See, this is writing related!

One event many look forward to is the Appalachian Heritage Writers Symposium, June 13-14, 2014. The Symposium was jointly founded by Appalachian Authors Guild and the Southwest Virginia Community College. It's held on the campus of Southwest Virginia Community College, Richalnds, VA. If you're not familiar with this valuable resource for your writing, click this link to the Symposium information page. Keynote speaker this year is New York Times best selling author, Lisa Alther. She will also conduct a fiction workshop. Other very able presenters are also scheduled for poetry, memoir, characterization. Best of all, the Symposium is very affordable. Try it and see.
