Writing when all is bliss in the world is the content of a writer's dream. A waiting keyboard, a favorite beverage nearby and soft music precedes literary genius, does it not? But, wait, what happens when writing reverie is disrupted by a snarling wolf at the door? This workshop will explore whether creativity can continue when a writer feels at risk to lose it all? And, if it can, how?
Annette Billings is an award-winning poet known for both her written work and oral presentations. In 2015, after ending a decades-long career in nursing, she published her first collection of poetry, A Net Full of Hope. It received an ARTSConnect ARTY Award in Literature. Her second and third books, Descants for a Daughter and Just Shy of Stars, followed. Billings' work, including prose and short stories, can also be found in a variety of anthologies as well as in print and online journals.
Important Update:
On Friday, August 28, members of the District 1 Kansas Authors Club, hosts for the 2021 State Writing Conference and Convention scheduled for October 9 and 10 at the Ramada Inn in Topeka announced a switch from an in-person event to a virtual one.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we shift to Plan B for the convention. We promise that it will still contain the same motivational and informative workshops and speakers. It will perhaps be even more intimate in the webinar setting, as no one will have to strain to see or hear speakers. You’ll be able to look into their eyes and feel like you’re sitting in the same room with them. And, actually, you will be… in the same zoom room!
We look forward to seeing you in October on Zoom!
