So You Think You Can Write? Then Let's Get Started!

If you live or work near Chicagoland this coming weekend, and you want to be a writer, come on over!

I'm conducting a workshop to ignite your creativity and motivation.

Date: Saturday, July 10, 2010

Time: 10-11:30 a.m.

Place: Elgin Art Showcase, 164 Division Street, 8th Floor, Elgin, IL

Reason: I like to share. Plus, I'm in town for staged readings of my new play. More about that below.

Do you have a story to tell but don’t know how or where to begin?

Do you wish you could find time in your busy life to write?

Have you started a novel or other writing project and then lost your momentum?

Have you promised yourself that someday you’re going to write a book?

When? How?

Let me show you the way. I'm a novelist and playwright, and I know all about the forces that can keep you from writing . . . and how to defeat them.

My workshop will teach you how to launch, plan, and complete your writing project—no matter what.

If you long to express yourself in writing, I can help you make your creative dream come true.

My 90-minute workshop will get you past whatever hurdles are holding you back. Whether you lack ideas, experience, confidence or time, I offer the tools you need.

Bring a laptop computer or pen and paper—and your desire to write.


For more information, contact Grady_S@cityofelgin.org

Check out the cool City of Elgin page. And as long as you're in town, you might as well stick around for the free staged reading of my latest play, On My Boyfriends' Bicycles. See the blog entry below for details about that. I'd really love to meet you.

Coming soon to a stage in Chicagoland!


For the first time in years, I recently returned to my play-writing roots and completed a brand-new full-length dramatic comedy.

I'm thrilled to report that On My Boyfriends' Bicycles will have not one but two staged readings in Chicagoland this summer. Director Richard Pahl, well known for his artful casting, has assembled an awesome troupe of professional players as well as a talented design team. I applaud the promotional postcard, pictured here.

Of course, I'll be in Elgin for the big event; I'll also teach a writing workshop while I'm in town.

I'll post more info here soon. In the meantime, get out there and ride your bike. It's officially spring at last!
