Billie A Williams multi-published, award-winning, best-selling author of over two dozen mystery novels has taken parts of her six books on the art and craft of writing and turned them into a course to help you get started, or to continue to tweak, your writing career. “Right from the Welcome letter to the sign off you are in for a busy work-a-thon or Write-a-thon as I like to call it.” Williams says.   “Can you picture using bubble gum as a metaphor for writing,” Williams does. “Have you ever thought the wide space between someone’s front teeth might have meaning for someone besides their orthodontist?” Williams does. Here is a sample of the things you will be working on.  Writing Wide, Exercises in Creative Writing (Williams’ first book) provides some unique ideas to grow your mind from ordinary thinking to creative thinking in lessons one through four.

  • Lesson One: Wide Spaces Between the Front Teeth
  • Lesson Two: Writing Challenges—The idea—The first Sentence
  • Lesson Three: Wide Lines of Wide Ruled Paper
  • Lesson Four: Corralling the Wild Stallion in Your Writing (Adverbs, Adjectives, cliché’s etc.)
  • Lesson Five: Bee Balm—the hook is from the book Spice Up Your Writing, Write to Entice
  • Lesson Six: Create Characters That Live and Breathe and Your Readers Love from the book
  • Characters In Search of an Author
  • Lesson Seven: Style, What Will You Write? The book is A Writer’s Vehicle
  • Lesson Eight: Wide Brush Strokes from the book– Writing Wider, More Exercises in Creative Writing
  • Lesson Nine: Unique Accidental Sleuths, The book title Whodunit? A Mystery Writer’s Primer
  • Lesson Ten: Is simply a Wrap up with 12 Steps for Writers. Conceive it, Believe it, Achieve it!

And there will be handouts available to further enhance the experience. For those who do better listening to the lessons, there will also be bonus audio recordings of the lessons available for members as well.
