Testimonials:
* A
special thank you for validating the noticing of "little things" like
caterpillars on desks. You have opened a window to our minds and hearts
this week. I am very grateful that you came to us.
* Poetry Workshop--rated a 10--gobs of ideas generated and offered!
* Self-Editing Workshop--This could have been a two day course; so much rich material presented in such a short time.
* Karen Blomain is a resourceful, encouraging and vibrant workshop
facilitator. What a wonderful edition to the teaching faculty.
* I
really enjoyed hearing what you had to say about the craft of writing…
I've always had a hard time getting motivated/finding time, etc. to
write (like a lot of other people).
*I found your wisdom particularly
effective.
* Best wishes to you in your
work—you are an amazing and inspiring teacher.
* Do it again! Just what I needed--fertile prompts; time to write and to listen to other's writing; good talk; wonderful...
* A good mixture of topics and discussion and feedback. Top marks on everything. More of the same, please.
* Great A+
* You should really write a book!
* Thank
you for the wonderful workshops you brought to The Write Stuff (Greater
Lehigh Valley Writers Guild). They were a big part of what made this
year's conference a success. Many of the surveys put you at the
top--with exclamation points.
* Karen Blomain and Michael Downend's
workshop was a week of
well-timed magical inspiration for me a few years back. I arrived wrung
out creatively, and really needed a gentle boost, a fresh start, a
creative MOT and a new pair of creative specs. I never looked back, and
am grateful to them for their generosity of spirit as well as terrific
craft input.Thank you both!
