Take a Chance & Teach Your Craft

Teaching workshops about your writing can be so enjoyable. Today, I saw an online application for submitting a proposal to teach a workshop at a Writing for Children conference. Generally I’d mull over something like this for awhile. Do I have something to offer? Will they be interested in what I do? Can I do it?

Instead, I said, “I’ll submit this” and sat right down at the computer. Within 30 minutes, it was finished, and I hit “Send.”

Will they accept me? I don’t know. I’d love to teach at this conference. I never have before although I’ve attended and submitted proposals. However, I don’t have a chance if I don’t submit.

Also, this gave me the enthusiasm to look around and see if anyone else would be interested in such a workshop – “Children’s Stories Influenced By One’s Heritage.” This also ties in with the “Writing Your Family Stories” workshops I teach.

Take the plunge. Take the chance…and teach!
