Notes from the first prep session

The first prep session (Emotional Response: How to connect with your readers) is now completed. The XMind mindmap we used in the workshop is now available.



We had about thirty people in attendance in the Community Room of the Nichols Library. Next weekend (13 October), Tom Ostler will lead the second preparatory workshop down in the 95th Street Library in Naperville.

We will then return to the Nichols Library the 20th of October for Roger Lubeck's self-assessment preparatory workshop.

If anyone has any helpful notes or observations from this workshop, please add them here. Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who came to the event and contributed, and special thanks to Linda (Qberty) who stayed after to help clean up.

Thanks, Tim! I wish I could've made it but this is the next best thing to a functioning Google+ Hangout. :) Or Skype.

For next year, I think I will try to organize this down to a single page of notes... (like the cheat sheet posted elsewhere in the forums, but with larger type ;-) ).
