In particular it was Susanna's workshop (which led me to her books, which led me to her website and here) and the lunch address by Robert J Sawyer that I found the most helpful and inspiring. Robert's address was videotaped and is available on YouTube; I wish Susanna's had been, too!Seabrookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09400079400485962650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762860554634548712.post-23528809136117992002010-09-30T08:24:12.977-04:002010-09-30T08:24:12.977-04:00Being with other writers, especially my critique p...Being with other writers, especially my critique partners, always gives me a buzz too and makes me want to go home and write immediately.

I spend the evening on a creative high talking to other people who get what I'm on about and we share what we're working on, any problems we're having and just talk through it. I always come back from events raring to go with my head full of new ideas that I can't get down fast enough in a notebook.Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12719765628886270649noreply@blogger.com
