Good-bye

Today is the anniversary of Frank Lloyd Wright's death in 1959. It is commemorated by Simon and Garfunkle in the appropriately named "So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright."

Here is a link to a YouTube video with images of Mr. Wright's designs as the song plays in the background:

Birthday

For those Fallingwater fans out there, here's a bit of trivia...today is also the day Edgar Kaufmann, jr. was born one hundred years ago in 1910.

EVENTS Jason and I are going to help you get into flow during the breakout sessions for the Staying Home, Staying Creative Workshop at All AccessCon on Thursday, April 23, 2020 (4:00 - 7:00 PM ET) . Are you feeling "stuck" at home in more ways than one? Many of us always said that if only we could stay home we'd finally write that novel, learn a new writing skill, or revise that story or article and get it into the submission process. Now that we aren't being given a choice about staying home the situation isn't optimal and might even cause us to lose whatever creative momentum we had to begin with. Join our panel of experts for a frank discussion about staying focused, creative, and successful in our new home environment, followed by a series of breakout sessions. This virtual workshop is presented by AllAccessCon at a reduced price to accommodate those economically impacted by COVID-19. ABOUT THE PRESENTERS Matt Betts Ohio native Matt Betts is a
