Classes, Classes, Classes!

One of my New Year’s Resolutions was to take a class of some sort this year—a class that would help me to grow as a writer. I’ve narrowed it down a little; but there are so many great options! How do I choose?

• A. Suen’s picture book writing classes (recommended by several friends)
• Margie Lawson (http://www.margielawson.com/) recommended by Randy Ingermanson (“the Snowflake Guy” and author of The Advanced Fiction Writing E-zine). Online classes for 2010 include:
  • January: Defeat Self-Defeating Behaviors  
  • March: Empowering Characters' Emotions
  • May: Deep Editing: The EDITS System, Rhetorical Devices, and More
  • June: Writing Body Language and Dialogue Cues Like a
    Psychologist.
• Gotham Writers’ Workshop writing classes
  • Memoir Writing (I’m working with someone on their memoir)
• Photography class (to help me with photos for my nonfiction writing)

And no, I’m sure that this has absolutely nothing to do with procrastination….
