Home again, after teaching a full day workshop at Toronto Romance Writers on Saturday. I think it went well – I had fun, anyways – but now it’s back to my regular writing schedule.
I like to teach and interact with people. It gets me out of my little writing cave and always gives me lots of new ideas. Plus the act of teaching – or preparing a workshop – gives me the chance to see things in new ways, usually in order to explain them more clearly. I examined a lot of trends for this workshop, and that was thought-provoking, too.
On the other hand, I also like routine. I like regular schedules – routine makes me a more productive writer.
Either one makes me appreciate the other.
How about you? Would you rather do something different every day, stick to routine, or mix it up a bit?

What a great workshop!
Over 20 years experience, biz facts, no romance laid at our feet – a no-nonsense approach for those of us who want to build a backbone and not a wishbone as a writer.

Glad you enjoyed it, Kate B!
Essentially, I taught the workshop I wanted to attend 20 years ago – but couldn’t because no one taught it. 🙂
