First Writer's Workshop

What fun we had at the library yesterday during the very first writer's workshop!  Local author Debbie DeShields taught the teens the basics of crafting a story.  She also gave a challenge to those attending; write a short story (1,000-1,500 words) in the next two weeks to be published in the Weekly Vista!  In addition to story crafting, participants also learn about the process of editing your story, publishing, and self publishing, and more!  Did you miss this awesome class?  Don't worry!  There are still two more sessions of the writer's workshop!  Saturdays June 9th, and June 16th 1-3pm.  If you love writing, you don't want to miss these next sessions.
