What an amazing time at the Romance Writers of America® National Conference this year. I was so honored that I was asked to do a workshop with my dear friend and supremely talented writer, Claire Cavanaugh. Our topic was The Secret to Powerful Writing – Activate, Activate, Activate. The workshop was scheduled from 4:30-5:30 and I didn’t really expect that many people to attend – so many events on Thursday night – but we had a full house. Actually beyond full. Not only were all the chairs taken, but some true stalwart writers sat in the floor at the front, at the back, in the aisle, and even outside the door. I was blown away by all the fantastic questions, eagerness and talent. Several writers read passages they wrote on the fly that were absolutely fabulous. So much talent!!! Awesome!!!

I *promised* the attendees that I would provide them the handout and presentation, so here it is, guys! (a bit late…sorry about that). Thanks for being there (or for asking about the handouts)
