The first TARA meeting I ever went to she was the speaker and I was blown away at what I learned, what I was doing correctly, and what I had to come home and fix.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04521384704019863926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13449892.post-20124250698655241962008-02-13T08:01:00.000-08:002008-02-13T08:01:00.000-08:00Now I'm intrigued.Now I'm intrigued.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04651755306664865579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13449892.post-30785010034867325642008-02-12T16:15:00.000-08:002008-02-12T16:15:00.000-08:00Eek, I had to look up every one of those words/tec...Eek, I had to look up every one of those words/techniques you listed (anaphora, etc.). That sounds like an interesting workshop. The color-coding edits system sounds like a huge chore to me. Sometimes I start projects like that -- like highlighting each narrative passage in green, each dialogue passage in pink, each romantic scene in blue, or whatever... -- but I always get frustrated and bored by about page 2. Eh. Screw it. I'll just keep hoping for a real, live, paid editor (who's paying me!) to comb through my stuff someday in the not-too-distant future.Catherine Avril Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02234699994063975316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13449892.post-63246658786492812862008-02-12T05:54:00.000-08:002008-02-12T05:54:00.000-08:00It was definitely cool, Trish--like we were being ...It was definitely cool, Trish--like we were being let in on a bunch of secrets ;).<BR/><BR/>Caryn, I know exactly what you mean. After one of these classes, it's like I'm hyperaware, trying to keep all these writing tips at the back of my mind while jotting off smooth, seamless, brilliant writing. Talk about a tight-rope act.<BR/><BR/>If you're interested, you can order Margie's class notes for $20 or something. www.MargieLawson.comAlyssa Goodnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12563271888054706202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13449892.post-83442948565775575512008-02-11T20:41:00.000-08:002008-02-11T20:41:00.000-08:00That sounds so great!

Classes like that always give me a huge boost, but they also make me feel overwhelmed because I think of all the things that I should be doing with my writing, and I worry that I'm not.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you found it helpful!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13449892.post-40351497997197910482008-02-11T20:37:00.000-08:002008-02-11T20:37:00.000-08:00I will have to check out the online course.

How fascinating to get that kind of insight!Trish Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18038324441006141430noreply@blogger.com
