Although I got a late start, I enjoyed visiting The Writer’s Center Open House last Saturday from 12-3 as an instructor.
Since I am a new instructor, I got to wear the official name tag.
People walked up and asked me questions. The name tag is awesome because you know how shy I am. A conversation starter.
There was wine and a table full of snacks. Also lots of writing course instructors, all of whom I don’t know and didn’t have the opportunity to meet; although, when I perused the list of instructors, I was very impressed…
I am really looking forward to my series of one-day workshops on blogging and the blogosphere:
