First though, a public service announcement on behalf of Benjamin Tate:

***
To cut to the chase, at the bottom of the post, I'm asking you to help me accumulate a list of workshops and books about writing. I'm going to put these up on the Tamago for writers who are interested. The more you can share, the better. Links are good too, as well as a little blurb about what you think and why you liked it. At this point, I'm brainstorming. Don't worry about repeating other folks--just tell me what you know.
This is the part where I look back and I get embarrassed. My naivete is still more problematic than I would like it to be in the process of moving toward becoming an author, but I can remember thinking that I enjoyed writing because it was easy to do and it made me happy. What a great job that would be!
