I’m in Denver at a Christian novelists’ gathering before ICRS (International Christian Retail Show), and today we had a full day with Michael Hauge who teaches screenwriting and uses movies to help writers understand story and structure. I have listened to his CDs on screenwriting and some of his DVD on the Hero’s Two Journeys. Great stuff. But hearing him in person was a real treat. I have eight pages of single spaced notes that I plan to put to good use when I get home and am back to work on my WIP.
And there is nothing, absolutely nothing like being with my brothers and sisters in Christ who are dedicated to writing stories that honor God. The support we give to one another and the laughter we share is a beautiful thing.
Here are a few shots from last night and today (click to see large version):

I said, “Pose for your photos, Brandilyn Collins.” And boy, did she. {{grin}}

That’s all for now. I’m headed to bed.
