Have you heard of the annual Muse Online Writers Conference?

The 2008 conference will be held from October 13 through 19. It is all online, and all FREE.

To participate you must register by September 1.

Last year was my first year to participate, and I had so much fun I offered to present a workshop at this year’s conference.

I’ve never done anything like this before, and honestly, many times during the year I’ve questioned my decision as I rushed to meet deadline after deadline, getting things ready for the conference coordinator. I’ve got a bit of stage fright but I’m going ahead with it anyhow.

My workshop is called Creating An Impressive Writing Website.

I chose this workshop because I was a professional web designer from 2002 through 2007. I cherish the hope of helping writers learn to make attractive, professional quality websites. I’m doing this because so many writing websites I visited were substandard and didn’t show the writer’s talents to the best advantage. Writers need help in the web design department… and I’ll be there to answer questions every evening for the entire week.

The conference is divided into two sections – the chats and the message board. I’ll have a section on the message board that I’ll work on daily, and will appear at one chat, on Friday evening.

The Muse Online Writers Conference is about much more than my little workshop. There are dozens of talented presenters… and they all have one or more topic to present. Some of these presenters are so gung-ho they’re presenting on multiple topics. I have to admire them!
