This post is a bit of a mish-mash, but there's some exciting things going on that might just be BIGGER THAN BACON.
WEBINARS!
First, you may have noticed a NEW Page tab above labelled Workshops and Webinars. Becca and I are happy to announce that we're taking our show on the Virtual Road, and doing a bit of teaching!
Our first webinar, on March 6th, is Using Nonverbal Communication To Wow Readers and is being hosted by WANA International. If you struggle with emotion and how to show it, this is the class for you. Wana also has many other courses for creatives, too! We hope to see some of you there. :)
Becca and I have chosen our Charity of the Year and want to introduce it to all of you! Last year, we picked Heifer International, and thanks to your support, we were able to donate a portion of our royalties to this worthy cause. This year we're choosing UEND: Poverty, a organization that has projects all over the globe to help wipe out poverty. I found out about this charity a few years ago when my husband gave me a gift certificate for it for my birthday, and I was able to go into the site and choose which project to put the money toward. Very cool stuff!
Circling back to WANA International, we're also very excited to share their first online conference coming on Feb 22 & 23. The line up of speakers is amazing.There will be Agent Pitching and great advice from some of the best in the biz. And of course no event would be complete without some social fun, so there's a mixer and pajama party, too! You can download the full conference schedule right here.
GUEST POST!
Also, Becca is over at one of the most amazing blogs on the internet: Query Tracker, so please feel free to stop in and say hello! This blog and site was so helpful when I was looking for my agent--I hope any of you on the hunt are checking into all the information and tools they have for writers.
COMMUNITY!
Finally, when we were celebrating our 3 BIG January milestones with a Kindle Giveaway, I asked to hear about the blogs that have helped you recently. You guys had so many sites to share, rather than let those blogs get lost in the comments, I rounded up all the ones you left links for and posted them below. Blogging and writing is also about building community, so I urge you to choose a blog on the list that you don't yet know and take a minute to swing by and say hello!

I'm so happy you are going to be doing workshops! That is wonderful news! It's great that you've hooked it up with WANA, too. That's such an amazing organization. And I love that you give a portion of your royalties to charity! What a great lit of logs, too. I see a few I haven't discovered before, and I, looking forward to visiting them.
Onwards and upwards Angela - sadly a bit far away for me!
Fun stuff. What time zone is the webinar in?
Awesome! And good luck with all your new ventures!

You guys are awesome! You two are such a valuable part of the writing community. :)
If only I could depend upon my present internet connection enough to attend the WANA Webinar. I hope there will be another webinar next year when I am settled in one place.
More great blogs? I can barely keep up with the ones I read now and still find time to write!
Yay!! Bring on more good things!!
Oooh, webinars and workshops! What a wonderful new addition to all that you offer.
I wish I could do the WANACon, but I already have a couple of other things lined up.
Those are wonderful blogs you've listed...I'm already familiar with some, but will try to visit the others soon.
Query Tracker's great! So glad Becca is guest posting there. :)
Thanks everyone! We are super excited for this coming year!
