NEW!  Skylark goes electronic!

In response to a number of requests, Skylark and I are taking to the ethernet with our first workshop by email. This is the ideal workshop for those of who want to proceed at your own pace and entirely on your own no matter where you live. 
You can begin anytime you choose, and you never have to submit your assignment to me or anyone else (although there are possibilities!).

I plan to do more of these on various subjects, but this first e-workshop will spin off a great old tune, "Among My Souvenirs," and you can use if for writing fiction, nonfiction or poetry.

Here's how it will work.
Every week for four weeks, I'll send you writing prompts, and you'll write.  

On Monday, I'll send you a word or a phrase
to get you thinking about the week's assignment.

On Wednesday, I'll send you a short piece of writing - mine or
someone else/s - about souvenirs. Just read it and enjoy.

On Friday, I'll send you a writing assignment for the weekend. 

If you're interested in the e-workshop, you can sign up anytime by sending me an email to register (jazzcookie@frontier.com) and then sending a check for the four weeks to me via regular mail (P.O. Box 243, Coupeville, WA 98239).  When I receive your check, I'll send you a personal email with more information about how to use the material, words of encouragement, practical writing advice and instructions about sending me writing samples from the exercises for a little feedback and possible posting (optional) on the Skylark website.

The fee for four weeks is $40. 

Let the Skylark e-future begin!
