Create a Writing Routine that Works
Presented by: Melanie Figg
Struggling to reach a writing goal, or want to add more writing time into your life? In this interactive workshop, participants will learn how to create a regular writing routine. Join 2019 NEA Fellow Melanie Figg for a practical guide to begin building a sustainable writing practice. We’ll discuss obstacles to success, bust some myths that hold us back, and take note of some common pitfalls. Leave with a renewed commitment to your work and a strong plan to put in place!
Writing Poetry for Electronic Media
Presented by: Henry Crawford
The workshop will focus on the special considerations of poets publishing work on the Internet. The growing number of purely online websites will be examined. Key differences between text layout and HTML will be discussed with emphasis on how they apply to line breaks and the overall visual shape of a poem that may be viewed on computers, tablets and phones. Finally, new areas of expression available to poets using electronic media will be explored, including hypertext linking and interactive text.
How to Submit Your Writing for Publication
Presented by: Arthur Klepchukov
How do you know when your writing is ready for publication or where to submit them? Perhaps you've written a few stories, poems, or essays and want to know where to send them. How do you choose from among the deluge of submission opportunities? How do you make sense of submission guidelines? Learn what tools and resources exist to help you on your journey to publication in this informative workshop for writers who want to begin their paths to publication.

Copyrights: All pictures were taken by amateur photographer Bruce Guthrie (me!) who retains copyright on them. Free for non-commercial use with attribution. See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested. Descriptive text, if any, is from a mixture of sources, quite frequently from signs at the location or from official web sites; copyrights, if any, are retained by their original owners.
Connection Not Secure messages? Those warnings you get from your browser about this site not having secure connections worry some people. This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!
Help? The Medium (Email) links are for screen viewing and emailing. You'll want bigger sizes for printing. [Click here for additional help]

[Thumbnails Only]
Multi Column: Number of columns of thumbnails to appear per page (normally defaults to 3):
[1 col][2][3][4][5]
Bigger photos? To save space on the server and because the modern camera images are so large, photos larger than 640x480 have not been loaded on this page. If you need the bigger sizes of selected photos, email me and I can email them back to you or I can re-load this page temporarily with the bigger versions restored.
2019 photos: Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000.
Trips this year:
a four-day jaunt to Massachusetts (Boston, Stockbridge, and Springfield) to experience rain in another state,
Asheville, NC to visit Dad and his wife Dixie,
four trips to New York City (including the United Nations, Flushing, and the New York Comic-Con), and
my 14th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con (including sites in Utah).
Number of photos taken this year: about 582,000.
