So glad I tuned in to learn from @LisaEllisonsPen - her masterclass on structuring memoir was outstanding! Thank you Lisa and Thank you @JaneFriedman for creating this opportunity. My hand is cramped from note-taking. 😊

I laughed, I cried, my hand cramped from note taking. @waderouse thank you for a stellar workshop w/a bonus session of therapy. “Humor is not just telling a joke. It’s honesty, humility, and heartbreak”. ❤️ #thevirtualerma2021 @ermabombeck thanks for another great event!

@LizAlterman Well I snort laughed, so I think you stuck the landing AND dropped the mic! 😂❤️

#amlearning and laughing at the #TheVirtualErma2021 #humor workshop. @LizAlterman sharing the story of her #memoir coming out on Audible in November - and the path to get there: “The rejections were coming in faster than my chin hairs” 😂 📚 ❤️

Powell’s in Portland, OR was so fun. I picked up 3 local authors and finished 2 so far. 📚 ❤️
Loved PNW mountains, vineyards, books.
I finally made it to Oregon (since my beginning attempts on the “trail” circa 1984 😂)

“The mountains are calling” has taken on a whole
new meaning in my life. I'm absolutely listening.
