I’ve been seriously writing for about four or five years now. And in that time I have joined various writer Yahoo groups…a crit group, a few ‘industry insider’ type, and then one that was sort of a writing prompt group. There was one session where every week she took you through a Fast Draft seminar. I’ve saved all of her weekly posts for about a year now…just in case I want to go back and glean them for info.

Anyway, this past week she announced that Gena Showalter would be running the newest class. The class is called: Making a Stand: Creating Standout Paranormal Stories.

The first post is so informative, I’d thought I’d advertise this group to those who may be struggling with their writing or wanting to take their writing to the next level. Looking at what Gena has written so far, I think the class would be useful for anyone…not just those writing paranormal stories. So, if you’re looking for some writing prompts, some guidance in improving your writing, or just some inspiration, try this group.

There’s also a companion group where you can discuss the topics or ask any guest hosts questions and the like. I haven’t joined that yet, because I belong to so many damn groups. I don’t need to get bogged down in another one. But this particular class just might convert me to joining the discussion group as well.
