Learn to write nonfiction!

Just a short post for this week because I’ve been extra busy. July to October is four months of non-stop veggie processing and I should never take on anything else during this time of year (besides my usual writing projects).

But I did take on too much this year, and one of the things is a Highlights Foundation class I’m guest-teaching for fabulous author Jen Swanson.

Jen has taught this class many times in the past and she is a wonderful, engaging teacher. This is my third…and possibly last…time guest-teaching with her. Like I said, I can’t say yes to summer commitments anymore if I hope to get any writing done.

As it says on the Highlights webpage:
