Dear [FIRSTNAME],

"There's always something to write about. If there's not, then you need to live life more aggresively."  ~Min Kim

As spring blossoms all around us, it gets harder to sit at a desk and write. But who says you have to stay inside to write. Grab your charged up laptop or a notebook and pen and head outside for some fresh air and fresh ideas. You will be surrounded by new sights, smells and sounds, engaging your senses and awakening your creativity. 

NCW Spring Class start today. I hope you will look over our great lineup and register for a class or two to work on your writing craft or the business side of publishing. 

Happy Writing!
~Kerrie
