Margie Supports ALS Research!  Donate $50 to ALS and you may be a winner!

    My cousin has ALS.  For me - those four words carry a powerful emotional hit.

    I am committed to helping my cousin reach his goal of donating $100,000 for ALS Research.  Please join me.

    Donate $50 (or more!) to ALS research on my cousin’s ALS web page -- and you may win:

  • Registration for an Immersion Master Class -- $450 value!
  • 75 page Triple Pass Deep Edit --  $450 value!

  The two drawings will be July 18th.  For more information, CLICK HERE.

Zany Event:  Flying with Barbara and Margie!

    I talked Barbara Vey (cyber goddess of the PW blog, Beyond Her Book) into joining me with a new donation for Brenda Novak’s Diabetes Auction -- ‘Flying with Barbara and Margie.’ 

    Petrified of heights, but never known to pass up a fun time, Barbara agreed to take the risk.  She will brave the skies for one hour in my experimental four-seater plane over Annapolis.

    Kudos to equally intrepid Nancy Naigle for her winning $310 bid!  Nancy’s employer matches charitable donations – so Brenda Novak’s Diabetes Auction netted $620 from this plane ride.  Yay!

    The flight:  July 14th

    The pilot:  Tom Lawson.

    In-fight vidoeographer:  Margie Lawson.

    The cool winner:  Nancy Naigle!

    The Dramamine popper:  Barbara Vey.   :-)

New Website Design by Ultra-talented Lisa Norman! 

    I clicked on a web site design on Brenda Novak’s Diabetes Auction – and WON!    Lisa Norman is as gifted at web design, as she is at reading minds.  And you all know my mind is quirky.

    I talked Lisa into launching my web site now – even though she says it’s still at the sheet rock stage. Lisa will be adding more twists and spins – which I love on the page, not in the plane.  Tom knows the rules.  No spins, no loops, no rolls.  Drop by again in a few weeks and see Lisa’s amazing web site acrobatics.

    If the web site looks wonky, or the airplane took a nose dive, please Contact Lisa.  She’ll work her magic. 

Three more Immersion Master Classes in 2009:    

    Are you interested in three full days of intense, hands on learning – in my log home at the top of a Colorado mountain? Class members stay at a lodge near my home.  Enrollment is limited to seven.  Sound good?  For more info, Click Here.  

    The Immersion Master Class I offered in April, 2009, sold out. So did the two sessions I am offering in September.  The session I added in August has room for three more.                                             

    August 20 – 24 . . . . . . .    3 openings

New Margie Lawson Newsletter!

    Initially I shared a newsletter with Mary Buckham, but we both have such full schedules, we had too many presentations and courses and goodies to cram in one newsletter.  Now we both offer newsletters! 

    My newsletter has a picture at the top -- of our airplane over Colorado mountains.  When you see the airplane, you know it is my newsletter. 

    Each monthly issue includes a Deep Editing Analysis.  I analyze visceral emotion, body language, dialogue cues, Emotional Hits, the four levels of powering up emotion—anything I teach in my editing courses.  My Deep Editing Analysis provides you with a mini-lecture in every issue. If you would like to receive my newsletter, click the link on the left of the page to subscribe. 

RWA National!

    If you are attending RWA’s National Conference, I’d love to meet you!   You’ll find me at these special events:  the KOD Dinner on Tuesday night, the Daphne Awards / Death by Chocolate event on Thursday night, and the RITA’s on Saturday night. Or, call my hotel room. 

    PLUS -- I’m presenting a workshop on Saturday, at 2:00:  The EDITS System:  The Good, The Bad, and What’s Missing.  Come to my workshop – and we’ll gather a big group together after it’s over.  Happy hour before the RITA’s?

Fall Presentations: 

    I’m presenting in Colorado (twice) as well as in Florida, and Texas this fall.  If you can join me at one of these events, let me know. 

    • Colorado Gold Conference:  September
    • ACFW Conference:  September
    • Florida Writer’s Association:  October
    • North Texas RWA:  November

On-line course in October:  Digging Deep Into the EDITS System!

After teaching four out of the last six months, the next on-line course I teach is in October.  If you’ve taken Empowering Characters’ Emotions, and Deep Editing:  The EDITS System, Rhetorical Devices, and More – you’re ready to dig deeper and add more psychological power. Click here for the full scoop on Digging Deep into the EDITS System.

Flying to the East Coast!

Yay!  It’s almost time for me to fly to the east coast with my favorite pilot and husband, Tom. We’ll kick off our vacation with a four-day, 26 member, cousin-and-all family reunion in North Carolina.  Our next stops include visiting family and friends in Bowling Green, Annapolis, Princeton, Boston, Danbury – and all the way up to Rockland, Maine – before flying back to Washington, DC for RWA National.  I may need to refuel my high-energy jet pack. Twice.

Happy Summer to Everyone . . .

May you dream big, plan big, work big, succeed big. 

All smiles………………..Margie
