| Hello! I cant believe summer is over. Fall means sweater weather, all things pumpkin, and a new series of fun events. Here's what I have on my line-up as of today, but there could be another addition or two, and I'll update this post if that happens. In the meantime, I'd LOVE to see you at one of these events. |  |

OCTOBER 28: Shoptalk on WHOLEHEARTED WRITING: Practices for maintaining persistence, perseverance, and productivity.
Willoughby Wallace Library
Stony Creek, CT, 6:30PM
The life of a writer is immensely rewarding and exciting, but the journey to publication can be equally long, challenging, and discouraging. In this talk, I will draw from my psychology background to share psychologically-valid, evidence-based concepts and action steps to enhance motivation, increase productivity, and to fuel perseverance for writers and illustrators at any stage of the writing journey. Whether you are struggling with finishing your manuscript or portfolio, trying to maintain enthusiasm as you face the query trenches, or are wading through the world of post-publication, you will find something here to inspire you and concrete steps to apply to keep your whole heart in the game. This is a free event, but call 203-488-8702 to register. Or, visit wwml.org or the event page HERE.
