I’ve returned from the week-long anthology workshop. My brain is still pretty mushy. I’m much better this time than I have been, coming back from other workshops. A big part of that is due to my sweetie who took care of me and played supportive spouse. Part of it was because I slept all through […]
There have been some wonderful blog posts done on the Women in Science Fiction site recently: From Laura Anne Gilman, and some of her teenaged influences: http://www.womeninsciencefiction.com/?p=579 By Judith Tarr, and her influences: http://www.womeninsciencefiction.com/?p=561 And Anthea Sharp, on loving fantasy and writing: http://www.womeninsciencefiction.com/?p=553 And last but not least, mine: http://www.womeninsciencefiction.com/?p=567 Mine is about my mom,

As y’all may or may not remember, I’m offering a brand new print interiors workshop starting in January. (http://www.KRPWorkshops.com) To create the interiors for your print books, I recommend using the InDesign software. That’s what I use for the workshop. Yes, there’s a learning curve for InDesign.
