The class is Kiss Me or Kill Me: Writing Cozy Mysteries 101 for Romance Writers. This is actually my second time presenting it.
The class
runs from June 15 through July 12, and I've started having fun teaching
students how to have their characters solve murders while falling in love!
So far I've
posted the introduction and first lesson.
I've given the first assignment which is mostly just to have members
introduce themselves and where they are in their writing careers, in addition
to what they've written, and possibly published, so far.
Not
everyone has responded, but that's okay.
I've also
taught a couple of online classes at Savvy Authors, but not recently. It's always a fun process but, yes, it is
time-consuming. I agreed several months
ago to teach the OCC class and didn't realize how swamped I'd be around
now. Fortunately, since I just met a
bunch of deadlines--as I've mentioned before--the timing is actually okay. I've been a member of OCC for a long time and
like to give back to the group when I can, and since I don't have time to be an
officer or major volunteer, doing something like this now and then works fine.
And
besides, it's fun to teach online classes and hopefully help people with their
writing careers!
Have you
ever presented, or taken, an online class?

Your students are lucky to get you as a teacher. Again, I'm amazed at all you do!
Thanks, Betty! Teaching, even online, is a fun experience despite how time-consuming it is.
I've been taking online classes I've found through the RWA newsletters for about a year now, and they have been outstanding resources! Thank you so much for offering Kiss me or Kill Me. Now I'm not only learning how to better combine my favorite genres, but through your blog I've found more great links.
