Last Saturday, I attended Teresa LeYung Ryan’s workshop on building your name, which was presented by the SF/Peninsula Branch of the California Writers Club. She started the session by asking the group of forty+ attendees to close their eyes and focus on left brain, right brain (see picture). She then proceeded to give lots of excellent tips on how to build your presence online. She’s written a 22-day playbook that can be purchased on her website. Check it out! We writers need all the help we can get in cyberspace.

More than 60 people attended the workshop last Saturday on “How to Improve Your Storytelling Skills,” presented by Janis Cooke Newman, who teaches at the Writer’s Grotto.

My friends and fellow writers Laurie and Diane joined me in taking copious notes. It was a great session.
