Fall, 2011

FROM THE BIRD'S NEST

Things a writer gets to do if she's lucky:

Read a great review of her book written by Elfrieda Abbe, publisher of The Writer magazine. Abbe calls Shut Up & Write! "... a combination of tough-love coaching and humor that inspires and shows you how to become the writer you want to be." (September issue. Top half of page 18 and 19.)
Put gold winner stickers on the upper right corner of her books: "First Generation Indie Book Awards."
Find out that her book is in the top 10% in its sub-category on Amazon.
Get a message from Susan Pittelman: "I was talking with my hairdresser about your book (she has already bought three copies!!) and she told me that your book was in the top ten sellers at Next Chapter!"
Find a note with a Pay Pal order: "Please send the book asap. I'm not returning the one I borrowed from the library until I get my own, and the fine is building up."
Hear from a neighbor that her daughter's friend's mom, (did you follow that?) was talking to her therapist about writing. The therapist went to her bookshelf, removed a snappy looking red, white and blue book, and handed it to her.
Read an email from Michaela Ross, who is now serving with the Peace Corps in Nicaragua. She's writing daily, and guess what book she took along with her.

If I have any sense I'll save this list to read in my dotage. (For fun, I just looked up "dotage" and found the usual dreary definitions, plus this one: "The first syllable in dotage rhymes with go: "DOE-tage." The verb dote means "to be silly" and also "to be infatuated," both of which can at times describe those in their dotage, including a renewed interest in romance that many may not have experienced since they were giddy teenagers, in love for the first time.")

Another something to look forward to.

Where is She Now?

This is a new list on my website that tells where I'm hanging out these days. Here are some of the highlights. (Details follow. This is just in case you don't read that far.)

I'll be introducing author Karen McQuestion at Boswell Book Company in Milwaukee on September 8th, leading the Women's Writing Retreat at The Clearing in Door County Sept 11-17, speaking about how to "Write Well and Get Happily Published" at the Wisconsin Regional Writers Conference in Stevens Point on Sept 24th, and teaching a Sunday afternoon workshop to benefit the Waupaca Community Arts Center on October 23.

In November, I'm teaching full-day session of one of my favorite classes, "Writing Family Stories," at Redbird-Redoak Writing Center in Milwaukee. Register with Redbird-Redoak http://redbirdredoak.com/?page_id=1296

I'm sleeping through the entire month of December, and then, in January, I'll teach a full weekend class of Shut Up & Write! This is the first time I've been able to get that on the calendar since last April, and I'm thrilled about it.

Another Room of My Own

When I gave up the beautifully painted (thanks to niece, Kristin) studio #205, I reserved another room at the Marian Center in case I really needed it. You'd think it would be enough to have an office at home in Milwaukee and an entire writers' hideaway in the country near Waupaca, but it turns out I also need a city space for private consults. So, I'm now in the little studio at the end of the hall on the main floor, the one with oversized windows, and cute bookcases outside the door. Look for me in room #211.

Lost Messages

I replaced old Blackie with a new Mac Air and misplaced a bunch of email messages in the process. It also seems that some messages I send, perhaps from my Iphone, are not arriving. If you don't hear from me and think you should have, rattle my cage and I'll do my best to connect.

2. WHAT'S UP?

Karen McQuestion, Reading
Boswell Book Company, Milwaukee
Thurs. September 8th, 7pm

Get ready to cheer! Two of Karen McQuestion's hit ebooks, A Scattered Life and Easily Amused, are being released by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. If you know the Karen McQuestion story, you know what a big deal this is. If you don't know her story, but have wondered if writers can really "make it" these days, you'll be happy to see these books and hear the news.

Lucky me, I get to introduce this dear friend of so many Redbird writers.

Hope to see you there!

Womens' Writing Retreat
The Clearing, Ellison Bay, WI
Sun-Sat. September 11-17, 2011

Note: I lead two groups at The Clearing most years. One in spring for writers who want a balance of instruction and writing time, and one in fall for those who have specific projects in mind and just want to get to work.

About the Fall Retreat:

Writers intermediate and above cherish this week full of hours you can call your own. Mornings are designated quiet writing time, giving you the luxury of working in silence, with no interruptions.

After the noon meal, the group gathers in the classroom for roundtable sessions during which you have the option to share your work and receive helpful feedback. Private conferences take place throughout the week and are optional.

Whether you want to work on your book, finish a short story, craft a nonfiction article or complete your memoirs, you are bound to make progress during this wonderful week.

You'll love the setting, the people, the food – everything that goes on at this wonderful place.

There is a full course description in The Clearing brochure (print and online).

"Write Well and Get Happily Published" – Luncheon Keynote
Wisconsin Regional Writers (WRWA) Fall Conference, Stevens Point, WI
Sat. September 24th, 12 noon

The WRWA fall conference offers three days of exciting opportunities for Wisconsin writers – workshops, presentations, books, wisdom, and a lot of laughs. This is a good chance to connect with friends and help build the already-strong community of writers in our state.

At the Saturday luncheon, I'll talk about what it takes to write well and get happily published. After 20 years of coaching successful writers at Redbird Studio, I have some good ideas about this that I enjoy sharing.

Later in the afternoon, during the panel discussion and workshop periods, I'll sit on one of the panels and just generally hang out so I can meet people. Check the list of panel and workshop presenters to see what interests you. Jenny Turner has been organizing this, so you know it will be good. She doesn't mess around.

"Shut Up & Write!" – Meeting Presentation
Suburban Women's Club of Wauwatosa
Wauwatosa, WI
Mon. October 17th, 7 pm

Just about everyone needs to write something, sometime, whether it's a cover letter, wedding vows or the Great American novel. And for various reasons, we all find it hard to do.

In this presentation, I'll offer some tips you can use to make writing easier. I'll also talk about writers who "made it" and how, and tell stories about people who used writing to accomplish some very lofty goals.

The bottom line of this presentation is that although it is not always easy to unlock the power of the pen, it is possible, and it can be fun.

Lower level, Wauwatosa Civic Center, 76th and North. Call Nancy at 262-695-9908

"Writing Family Stories" – A benefit workshop
for the Waupaca Community Arts Center
Waupaca, WI
Sun. October 23rd, 2-4 pm

This is my year for writing family stories and I'm enjoying it so much I'm eager to share the fun.

On this Sunday afternoon, you can sit around the table with a small group of others who are also interested in writing their family stories. We'll talk about techniques you can use to get your thoughts organized and your story started. Learn how to bring the people in your stories to life, and how to keep readers turning the pages.

Remember, you are the only one who can tell the story the way you'd like to see it told.

Fee: $25 includes materials. All proceeds to WCAC

A REDBIRD CLASS

"SHUT UP & WRITE! Family Stories"
Sponsored by RedBird-RedOak, Milwaukee, WI
Sat. November 5th, 9:30 am – 3:30 pm

For twenty years, I've been living my passion to help people write and this is exactly the kind of seminar I like: an exciting day full of ideas, encouragement and practical skills.

Whether you are a beginning writer or a pro, this seminar will help you mine the riches of the people, places and events in your life. Did you really get married on a motorcycle? What was it like to live through a dire illness, or visit Grandma, or dance on a cobblestone street? Would you like to write these stories for your family, to give as gifts, or use in a novel, essay, or memoir? Or maybe just get-it-down for yourself?

I'm working on stories of my own this year. For me, the writing takes all kinds of forms – short stories, personal essays, monologues and one act plays. Whatever form you choose, the important thing is to bring the story to life, to keep your readers engaged.

In this seminar, you will:

see samples of things others have done with their writing – gifts, family keepsakes, published collections and novels
recall unique experiences, funny stories and bits of wisdom that your family treasures
decide where to begin so it is lively and interesting
learn how to set yourself free – to write even if you're lousy at it
learn from the writing; yours' and others'
learn skills that are transferable to other types of writing
get a list of helpful resources
enjoy the company of others who like to write

Fee: $85, includes materials.

A REDBIRD CLASS

SHUT UP & Write! - The Original Redbird Recipe
The class that inspired the book

Sat-Sun, January 7 & 8, 2012, plus optional follow-up session (date tba)

Marian Center, Milwaukee, WI

I designed this class in 1993, expanded it, refined it, and changed the name from Write Now! to Shut Up & Write! I don't actually know how many people attended throughout the years, but I know I learned from every one of them.

I also know I'm insanely proud of their success. Every time I walk in a bookstore I see the name of a student on a book, or on a poster announcing a reading. If I scan periodicals and literary magazines, in print or online, I nearly always see the name of a writer who took Shut Up & Write! And I get emails and calls from people who wrote for their families, or jobs, or even "just for themselves," and appreciate what they learned in this class.

One reason for the success of the class is that it attracts the right people -- those who want to learn, are willing to work, and have a sense of humor. Let's face it, people who want to sit on their butts and wait for good things to come to them, don't take a class called Shut Up & Write!

Another reason for success is that the class is focused on the students, not the teacher. My job is to pay attention to the individuals in the group, to listen to your wishes, notice your gifts, and make practical suggestions that work for you.

Because each class is tailored for the students in it, no two are exactly alike. We use the book as a baseline, but the material always takes on a new light. I prefer that you read (not necessarily study) the book in advance so everyone has a feeling for the tone and we can move more quickly into the material.

The course includes coaching on:

what it takes to be a writer
techniques for writing fact and fiction
bringing real and imagined characters to life
organizing thoughts and material
mastering point of view
writing "from the inside"
the "get and give" of critiques
how to get happily published
and much more

Be inspired
Get focused
Write!

Everyone is welcome. Most classes include people from all backgrounds, all ages, all levels of education and experience. Beginners use the class to learn the brass tacks. Pros use it as a tune-up or to polish skills in added areas of writing. The one thing we all have in common is our love of writing.

The class runs for two full days and includes an optional follow-up session. Bring your lunch and snacks. We'll provide tea and coffee.

Dates: Saturday and Sunday, January 7 and 8, 2012, 9:30 am to 3:30 pm
Snow dates: Sat-Sun, January 21 and 22. Follow-up session date to be determined.

Fee: $345, plus $20 material fee for those who do not own a copy of Shut Up & Write! The book will be sent to you so you have time to read it in advance of the class. If you already own the book, skip the fee.
Deposit: $100, holds your space until December 16, 2011.

Registration form at http://www.redbirdstudio.com or call Judy at 414-481-3195

Space is limited and there is often a waiting list for this class, so we suggest that you register as soon as you are able.

"I can't remember the last time I enjoyed something as much as I enjoyed this class. I felt safe, stimulated and inspired."

"Gave me the help I need to organize and make something out of my thoughts"

A REDBIRD CLASS

THE HAIRSHIRT WRITING RETREAT– Sinsinawa, WI
Sponsored by Redbird Studio at St. Clara Convent
(in the southwestern corner of Wisconsin, eight miles east of Dubuque)
Thurs-Sun, May 3-6, 2012

Registration required.

When I went to high school at St. Clara, it was home to 97 girls and 500 nuns – a ratio that appealed to my dad a whole lot more than it appealed to me. Now that I'm all grown up, I appreciate the sisters and the place. It is the perfect setting for quiet reflection and work.

You'll find nooks and crannies in which to sit, wooded trails to walk, two labyrinths (indoor and outdoor), and your own private (but not lavish) room in which to give voice to your latest idea.

The retreat begins on Thursday evening with a meeting in our private conference room.

Friday and Saturday mornings are designated quiet time for you to write. Dinner is at noon. In the afternoons, you may continue your writing, or take a walk, or reward yourself with a lovely nap. At 5:45 we have a light supper, then gather in the conference room for the evening writers' roundtable.

Roundtable sessions offer you a chance to:

share your work and ideas
get constructive feedback
receive coaching from the retreat leader
enjoy the company of other writers

On Saturday evening, you have the option to hang out at the Mound, or join the group for a jaunt to Galena, IL, with dinner at a favorite restaurant.

On Sunday, we have the final roundtable session and presentation of THE HAIRSHIRT AWARD. The retreat ends after the noon meal.

See the Photo Gallery on the Redbird website

3. NEWS ABOUT REDBIRD WRITERS AND FRIENDS

Note: This list contains announcements I heard about directly, usually via email. If you don't see an announcement you hoped to see, you might want to check the RedbirdRedoak site, writers personal blogs, and Facebook.

Tom Biel won an honorable mention in the 2011 Wisconsin People & Ideas Short Story Contest for his story, "The Flower Devourer."

Ludmilla Bollow sent this interesting note: Okay, I do have a play on Broadway – however it's Broadway England! IN THE REST ROOM AT ROSENBLOOMS was selected by Castaway Players in England. They tour their theatre to various Village Halls, and one of the three is Broadway Village Hall. They asked to change the name to LADIES AT LEWIS as it's a better known store. They also asked to anglicize other dialog in the play (author has the right to do this) and "God bless America" is now "God save the queen!" A nice interchange of the English language.

Also in June "LATE/LATE....COMPUTER DATE" will be in two theatre festivals in Australia. (They love the play!)

Sooo, theatre is not dead, but struggling. We all help to keep it alive.

Claudia Burns is once again using her writing skills to save wildlife, this time with programs such as "Why Animals Come to Crow," which she presents to civic groups in Sanibel Island, Florida.
