If you are, there are many learning opportunities online. My first foray into online learning was a FREE online class. I had been struggling with writing and this course dealt with ways to stop sabotaging your future. Fantastic course and did I mention it was FREE?
Next I took several more FREE online classes through the Glendale Public Library. Their writer in residence, Tina Radcliffe, is one of my favorite instructors. So I enrolled in Motivation for Writers, Writer's Platform, and Querying and Pitching to an Editor and Agent. A wealth of information and Tina offered some fantastic perks. Plus as I mentioned above she's one of my favorite instructors.
Right now I'm enrolled in a FREE two part mastersclass being taught by Ted Dekker and I'm scheduled for another class on Saturday. Learning opportunities are available in abundance and I'm loving them!
If you're bummed about having to miss conference (most have been cancelled) than try an online conference. Sally Shupe told me about the 2020 Kentucky Christian Writer's Conference. The fee was only $20.20 for the entire conference plus online access to all the recordings for six months! Believe me, I jumped on that train before it could pull out of the station. The classes were wonderful and I love having access to the classes I missed. There was one timeslot where I wanted to attend three of the courses. Guess what? Since I have online access I'll be able to have virtually attended them all.
ACFW is offering their conference online. It's a little more expensive than what I've mentioned to date, but it is an option. Also, there is the West Coast Christian Writers, the Southern Christian Writers Conference, and the Writing Warriors for Jesus (WWJ) Writing Conference. I'm sure there are many more, so if you know of others, especially resonably priced ones, mention them in the comments.
And if an online course or conference doesn't appeal to you, how about a brainstorming luncheon session on Zoom, Facebook, or one of the other online meeting options?
My intent wasn't for this post to read like a look what I've been up to post. No, it was to encourage you to take advantage of the learning opportunities available to you.
Have you taken advantage of any online courses or conferences? What was your favorite? Enrolled in anything coming up soon? Care to share? I'd love to hear your opinion on online learning.

A Match Made in Sheffield
Natalie Benton bounced from one foster home to another until she landed on Ellie Alexander’s doorstep. Natalie’s vagabond childhood caused her to yearn for a secure life, which led to Natalie’s five-year plan: complete her law degree, marry the perfect man, become a partner at Montgomery, Haynes, and Preston, and produce one child.

Getting arrested wasn’t in Natalie’s plan. Needing a public defender wasn’t in her plan. Falling for Grady Hunter, her public defender, definitely wasn’t in her plan.
Can Grady convince Natalie there is more to life than her five-year plan?
Is Ellie the only one who sees a future for Natalie and Grady?
