Virtual Workshop Requests

Today is the first day of summer vacation for my kids, and I promised that I would unplug and spend it with them, so no Friday 20 this week.

Last year during the week of RWA's National Conference, I did a series of virtual workshops and giveaway goodie bags for those left behind. We had a great time, covered a lot of writing territory, and never had to eat mystery chicken or leave the comfort of our pajamas or our computer chairs.

I'd like to do that again this year, if you all are interested, because I'm annoying that way. I have some ideas on improving it, too, like maybe browbeating persuading some other authors who aren't attending into joining in wth virtual workshops on their blogs. Like those authors* who nailed me with memes this past year, and who thought I was kidding when I said I would get even.

As before, I'd like to find out what topics would be of the most interest and value to you. So think it over, if you would, and share your suggestions on topics, type of workshops or whatever comes to mind in comments to this post.

*Yes, Jordan and Shiloh, you're first on the browbeating list.

Resourceful

Behind the scenes I've been working on getting some blog-related projects planned and organized. A couple of you (you know who you are) have made some very helpful suggestions via e-mail, and you can expect some series posts on outlining, self-promotion and plotting as well as some ways to put together a business plan for 2007.

I'd also like to hear from the rest of you regulars, infrequent visitors and lurkers, too: what topics, features or discussions would you guys like to see here on PBW? Please let me know in comments.
