A Left Behind & NOT Loving It Writing Book Giveaway

This is the week of the Romance Writers of America national conference. Often in the past, author Lynn Viehl and others offered online workshops for those who were “left behind and loving it.” Sometimes books about writing help with the writing. Other times, not so much.I am left behind this year, again, but I’m not loving it. I’m totally missing my buds and envious of the trip to NYC. That said, since I’m going to have to have some dental surgery that will cost me just about the same as it would have going to the con, it’s a good thing I canceled my plans and didn’t go.

::sniff, sniff::

Part of the “Left Behind and Loving It” online workshops was book giveaways related to the posts, and I’m going to be doing that this week. I’ll also repost some of my workshops, but I’ve got a gazillion books I need to clear from my shelves. I’m actually getting rid of my shelves since I’ve gone to 99% digital reading, and I need to reclaim some floor space.

The husband and I did some major garage cleaning over Easter weekend, and I found even more writing books I’d stored when making room for my fiction. I do miss all the spines tempting me to pull them off the shelves, but I love having those same titles (because I bought many of them again in digital format) all in the palm of my hand. The things about instructive texts, however, is that they’re best read with sticky notes and a highlighter in hand. And most of the ones I have have very few marks at all, so the winners can do their own notetaking. (And the photos here are just representative. Some of these books I’m keeping!)

Check back tomorrow for the first giveaway! I’ll post details then on how to comment for the books you may want!
