Okay, you guys who're thinking about signing up for my writing workshop in Assisi in August: stop thinking and sign up already! I put some new photos up to entice you. The cold truth is, right now there aren't enough students signed up for the workshop to go ahead, and I'd hate for you to be thinking too long and then try to sign up for a workshop that's been cancelled! If you're thinking you're not "advanced" enough as a writer, I guarantee that first, you're better than you think (yes you are so) and that second, you'll take some great steps forward in those two weeks. If you're thinking, Yes, but I don't write crime, that's okay: good writing is good writing, the elements are the same, and I'm flexible. Plus, you need to come to eat great food, spend time in a breathtaking town, and -- this is important, pay attention -- hang around with other writers and artists and find without noticing it that by the end you've come to take yourself seriously as a writer. So do it!

And if you know anyone who doesn't read this blog but is thinking about coming, tell them to do it too.

sjrozan I'm a writer, at work on my 11th book. This blog is a record of random and less-random thoughts. If you want to know more about me, check my website, linked here. I also had a blog going from spring through late fall 2004 about the publishing process for my 9th book, ABSENT FRIENDS. That blog's called "Progress" and you can find the link here. I won't make any more entries but I'm leaving it up in case anyone's interested; the process is more or less the same from book to book.
