What's Up the Street For Next Week?

Well, it's another week here at The Writers Alley and for most of us, school is finally OUT!! Yes, the crowds are going wild. Especially those crowds under the age of 18.
Though I've heard a few victory shouts from employees too (isn't that right, Sherrinda).

June is HERE, so let's see what's going on at The Writers Alley this week.

Monday - Need tips on creating websites and blogs? What else do you have to do over your summer break, right? Pepper takes the information she learned from author, Jim Rubart, and shares it with you.

Tuesday - Want to learn about the Anti-Hero? Sherrinda  will walk you through a crowd of anti-heroes from film and literature and hopefully we will find out why we love them so much!

Wednesday - What to do? What to do? You have loads of things planned for the summer, but you need to fit writing in there too! Mary posts about Juggling Writing and Summer for the perfect blend of real-life mixed with imaginary. Stop by and find out about it.

Thursday - So, what's one of the best parts of a story? The stand off, the climax, good versus evil in a battle to save all. Join Casey today as she discusses Creating Compelling Villain and Hero Final Moments.

Friday - Does 'place' really matter? Join Krista today as she discusses Spectacular Settings: Avoiding bare walls and three-sided houses.

Saturday - Edgy Christian fiction author, Michelle Sutton, stops in to define 'edgy' and explain why she loves writing books 'on the edge'.
