February is almost gone, and March looks like it will be just as busy for me. One of my commitments includes presenting at the Indian River State College Writer’s Weekend in Ft. Pierce, Florida on March 27th and 28th, 2010. The weekend kicks off early Saturday morning with presentations on various writing subjects such as style and literary conventions. I’m scheduled to present “When Life Gets in the Way: Finding Time to Write” at 3pm. My title is pretty much self-explanatory, but I’ll be giving tips and suggestions for meeting deadlines, both self-imposed and from clients. Saturday participants will be served lunch about mid-way through the day, and the last presentation is at 4pm.

Sunday starts up again, this time at 1:00pm and ending at 4pm. It includes more presentations and an assessment of writing samples from participants/attendees. The assessments involve submitting work before the workshop and meeting with English faculty for review and suggestions.

Last year’s writer’s weekend filled up quickly, so anyone interested in attending should sign up as early as possible. For more information, call 772-462-7708 or query rconsidi at irsc.edu for email information.
