Alana and Nutschell - I've seen the promotion around, but your review here, Alana, set out the whole approach so practically ... so now I will go across and buy the book - good for you all. If I was near LA .. I'd be along .. sadly unlikely .. <br /><br />Good luck with all the promotional efforts - it sounds such a great idea .. and a real little star Nutschell is turning out to be - so pleased for her .. <br /><br />Happy New Year to all of you - HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801207462566510326.post-41620147745598842612014-01-09T08:10:42.472-08:002014-01-09T08:10:42.472-08:00Wonderful guest post, Theresa, very helpful to wri...Wonderful guest post, Theresa, very helpful to writers.

Actually, we're also having a writing workshop this weekend if you're interested - not for publishing, but sort of a New Years resolution theme. And it includes a free copy of Story Sprouts! Great way to meet Nutschell and get a feel for the workshops. Unfortunately, I have another engagement so I won't be there, but I know it'll be fantastic. If you're interested, go to www.cbw-la.org to sign up and for more info. :)Alanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07507063858936159161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801207462566510326.post-74289130429625009312014-01-07T19:28:10.356-08:002014-01-07T19:28:10.356-08:00I think it sounds cool, and I think it's great...I think it sounds cool, and I think it's great that each author was able to complete two pieces during the workshop.
