Maui Writers Conference online

One of these days I am going to make my escape and go to the Maui Writers Conference. I have got announcements for it several times over the years, but have never had the money to be able to go. Now I am seriously thinking about attending the conference online.

I visited the website and discovered that the Maui Writers Conference has an online version they offer for less than $20 a month. The only drawback that has me uneasy is the difficulty in canceling the subscription. While it is easy enough to sign up, you need to submit your request to cancel the automatic renewals in writing by email, mail, or fax. I would much prefer being required to resubscribe every month than to have to jump through hoops if I decide I want to cancel the subscription.

Writing Course

For about a month now I have been taking an online writing course, Holly Lisle’s How to Think Sideways, which means that my time has been pretty much divided between that and work with only a little time dedicated to non-work writing. I'm learning a lot from the course, and after 5 weeks I find that I am as excited about the stuff I am learning as I was when I took the plunge to sign up for the course.
