Those immortal words won’t be painted on
the side of my conveyance as they were daubed on wagons in days gone by. And
pursuit of gold (at least not directly) isn’t my reason for traveling to the
shadow of that tall mountain named for an explorer of questionable quality and
uncertain motives. (A peak, I might add, fashioned by Rawhide Robinson as
recounted in Rawhide Robinson Rides the
Range.)
My journey across the Rockies will take me to the Pikes Peak Writers Conference, where I will present workshops on writing short stories and historical fiction, and “7 Ways to Write Prose like a Poet.” This writers conference is ranked among the top ten in the nation, and the faculty includes a wide variety of authors, editors, publishers, and others. Aspiring and accomplished writers alike can attend workshops, critique sessions, meet with agents and editors, and more.
All in all, it looks to be a good time and I am looking forward to the trip. Why not load up your wagon, hitch up your oxen and come along? Conference and registration information is available at www.pikespeakwriters.com.

Wish I was going, Rod. I'd like to soak up some of your wisdom.
ReplyDeleteGas up that big bike of yours and hit the road, Marc--you'll be there in plenty of time. Good to hear from you.
DeleteYour cover shows a covered wagon. I own a 1893 oil on canvas of that print, stroke for stroke. Where did acquire your print?
