Hi, Larry, it’s me again, hoping I’m not sounding like a stalker…..

My friend and I were going to go to Jantzen, Beach to your October workshop but the total cost (from Idaho to Portland) is too much for old retired ladies. (CRYCRYCRY!!!). The people there were so helpful, offered to pick us up from the station and such, but unless we win the big lottery, we can’t swing it.
So, though this Manuscript Evaluation and Coaching sounds interesting, we wonder if you have an online workshop going on or plan to do that?

Thanks again, Evonne

Thanks, Evonne

I have been a lyricist for some time and recently wrote my first young adult novel based on a screen play I couldn’t sell. (I had sold a screenplay previously (co-writeen) which was butchered by Lifetime). I was fortunate to get interest from my first choice agent on my YA novel and as I await her notes I wanted to begin another one that I have been thinking about for a while. I wonder if you teach any classes in the LA area in which one can actually develope a book using your method? I am nowhere near an outline on this one. Just ideas shooting into the air a nd crashing into each other. I am a Sid Fields fan and find that structure is what I hate and need most. If you do not teach a class here do you have a course in which you bat ideas around and help an author find their architecture.? I also seem to be one of those people who loves reading about writing but the more I read the more blocked and overwhelmed I get.

Thanks for your site…your thinking is clear, your writing informative and amusing and right on the money.
