I&#8217;m not certain why I haven&#8217;t found it before from either a fiction, nonfiction or fan writing website or one of the education and training websites I frequent. But this site has a huge list of resources, some of which I [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve tried reading On the Road by Jack Kerouac three times in my life. I forced myself to finish it last time. But apparently I was reading the wrong Kerouac or the wrong format.

		<description><![CDATA[My first Write-O-Rama workshop was &#8220;Pare It Down&#8221; with Anne Leigh Parrish. A workshop to get us to write simply and therefore strongly. Think Hemingway. Not one of my favorites. Not as pathetically macho as Mailer, but too focused so-called &#8220;masculine&#8221; values for me.
The idea was to choose strong words;  words of one syllable. If [...]]]></description>

You never know about traffic and ferries coming from the Olympic Peninsula. Whenever I&#8217;m confident I&#8217;ll make a specific ferry that&#8217;s when I end up behind a caravan of RVs driven by near-sighted [...]]]></description>
