So i figured i’d mention the free writer’s conference my writer’s group puts on roughly twice a year at Baker Bookhouse in Grand Rapids, MI.

It;s called Jot, and it’s free, and it’s one evening. This coming Friday, March 13, 2015.

What more do you need to know? I would have stopped reading at the free part. Writing is a funny thing to try and learn because at some point you will reach a place where someone will tell you to attend a whole bunch of writer’s conferences to network and learn and all that stuff. Which takes time and money, and if you’re trying to start a writing career or just write something for your own personal edification, chances are time and money are low on the list of things you have lying around in abundance.

No excuses here. Its both free and a low time commitment, so if by some random twist of fate you happen to read this post and live somewhere conveniently close to Grand Rapids and have even a passing interest in writing, then i would recommend you stop on by.

After all, it’s just Friday the 13th, what’s the worst that could happen?
