A man lost at sea. No map. Won't ask for directions.

Hey, nice smile!
We've been asked to pass along news of a workshop, but I'm not connected. I'm not sure if any of your followers are in the US, but if so they might be interested in this.

Perhaps you will be inclined to share it. I can assure all that Oz puts on one fine workshop.
Thanks! I floss with bindertwine every day.
I'll mention the workshop in my next post.
Thanks for the workshop mention. Here's something else you and your readers might find fun. It's a site that analyzes your writing style and tells you what famous writer your work most resembles.
