Taking Orders on My New Book

For those of you who haven't heard, I am frantically trying to get "Signing Upside Down" published. I am taking prepaid pre-orders to get through the final stages and wanted it out by the fifteenth. Anyone who wants to get a hold of the book please help with production and prepay. We are selling copies for $13. (they will be more once it is actually printed so you are getting a deal). Order one or 12 (Christmas is coming it is a great stocking stuffer-smile). The book was complete two years ago and it is time to get it out there. We are really close to having enough to have it printed, and I am getting really excited. I have two library's and several teachers patiently waiting for it's arrival. If you are interested in helping please e-mail me directly or add a comment here with a way to contact you and I will get you the information. Thank you!-Kassy

writing meetings, classes, and such

I am a sucker for writing classes and meetings. The more activities I can participate in about writing the more invested I am in my writing. How many times do you really want to show up and say you haven't worked on anything? I can't last very long without buckling down and working. I am taking two writing classes right now. One at the Sheridan Library taught by one of my writing buddies Maggie King. Even her title is fun Catching Fireflies Writing Class-capturing the bright and shiny memories of your life on paper. She is giving us a chapter a week of prompts and activities to help us write our life stories. (This class is free and you can just show up-7pm on Thursday nights for the next ten Thursdays.) The other class I am taking is:Writing with Technology done by the Oregon Writing Project. Just who is sponsoring it is enough information. If you have not taken a writing class by the OWP, you are shamefully unaware. This class is especially fun because I know so many of the people attending it is like an OWP reunion. We are having a blast. As for my WIT writing group meetings this is the e-mail I sent to them tonight:"If you missed tonight's meeting you missed homemade biscuits and jam, and a writing marathon. I have seven pages of writing, whew!It was really fun!
The next meeting is October 24th (Sunday at 6:30). The meeting place has moved to Penny's house. She has graciously agreed to host us. Please let me know if you need directions.
Next month is National Novel Writing Month. www.nanowrimo.org has great resources for adult writers and classrooms. Free stuff and downloadable workbooks. There are a few of us working on YA novels (young adult) this is a good resource. There is also the novel in a month challenge. Anyone wanna race? This would be for a first draft not a completed draft. But I do have a copy of the weekend novelist if we want to work with prompts.
Have fun writing this month see you the 24th.-Kassy" I love to go to my writing meetings and talk about what I am going to do. It gets me more fired up about actually doing it. SO I have two goals this month. To finish three more dragon pictures (okay they are being commissioned so I have to finish them anyway but it is a good goal-smile) and to get the out line ready for my YA novel because I want to do the challenge in November with the NANOWRIMO. Any one want to join me?
