I've decided to join a writer's workshop here in Brooklyn. I'll sit in a cozy bookshop for two hours a week with five other aspiring hopefuls and two published authors. For $210, I'll get eight weeks of steady attention and help on my structure, which I feel is beyond necessary. The wine is part of the package deal... :) At the end, there's something called a "publishing party" where we'll each be match with literary journals and magazine that best fit our genre and style. We'll spend all night prepping several submissions with the two experienced writers, and then we'll all cross our fingers.
I'm hopeful!

Who are the published authors, babe?
I'm so excited! This is the beginning of something big, Meggie. I just know it.
Carmen, I can tell you're halfway out the door already, on your way to the nearest bookstore. The minute you find out the author's names, you'll be studying their work up, down and sideways to determine how much help they might be to your daughter.
Let me know, Meggie, when the finger-crossing exercise begins. I want to be part of that.
I'm so excited. (Did I already say that?)
I won't know who the author is until I reserve my spot in one of the groups. Each group has different instructors/authors, so we'll see! I'll keep you both posted!
