Monday News and GiveawaysJune 8, 2009
Sunday's are always a quiet, laid back day at conferences. People are usually pooped out from the partying the night before and since WisWRA was celebrating 25 years, it was an exceptionally enthusiastic get-together. Workshops were well attended and included Ann Voss Peterson's A Word Nerd's Gude to Pacing, Barbara Raffin's, The Proof is in the Details and Lori Devoti's Setting Goals to Keep You On Track. Next year it will be in Milwaukee. Nice and close for me, so I hope to see you there! Now on to the news and Giveaways of the week:  From Author Dianna Love: A spectacular line up of 25 top authors share their insights on writing Character, Conflict, Dialogue, Point of View and Plot.
