WritingExcuses 6.22: Continuing Education for Writers

From http://www.writingexcuses.com/2011/10/30/writing-excuses-6-22-continuing-education-for-writers/

Workshops, podcasts, online resources, books -- they can all help. Don't miss the Turkey City Lexicon! Learning new tools and using them consciously can be difficult -- it doesn't mean you should quit. Try focusing on three tools that you want to master, starting with the hardest.

[Dan] It's cruel.
[Mur] Well, the writing prompt would be... Someone who wants to go to a writing workshop, but they get held up, unfortunately, by chicken and waffles. Whether that's really chicken and waffles, or metaphorical chicken and waffles, or what Dan thinks is a metaphor for chicken and waffles, that's up to you.
[Howard] Perfect. This has been Writing Excuses. Recorded in front of an empty hotel lobby in DragonCon. You're out of excuses. Now go write.
