Resource for writers: Margie Lawson Writers' Academy

It's kind of a long story, but I'll try to tell the short version. I wanted to Octsober again this year. My goal was to give up alcohol, tobacco, refined sugar, and television for the entire month of October.

I know, I know. The only thing I'm addicted to that I didn't try to give up is caffeine. *shudders to think*

Anyway, I knew that if I wanted to have even the remotest chance of success with Octsobering I was going to have to find some other activity to fill my time and distract me from the extreme discomfort of withdrawal symptoms. What I decided on was taking a couple of courses from the Margie Lawson Writers' Academy (LWA) - one to help me with my WIP and one to help me learn more about the business side of indie authorship, especially book marketing and publicity.
