The Outlining Your Novel Workshop is now up and running on the Writers Digest University

site.

Right now there are two separate workshops accepting applications, one for the eight-week

period between October 18th and December 13th, and one for the period between November 29th

and January 24th. The registration fee is

$376 and seats are limited in both classes so get them all they're hot.

To watch it, visit my blog at Wordplay-K-M-Y-L-N-D. Blogspot. New video. you E I L A N D dot blog spot dot com.

New videos are posted every Wednesday.

And now I hope you enjoyed this week's podcast
