Literati! 
Here’s your chance to see how handsome I’ve become now that I’ve reached puberty, and dropped from 218 pounds to the fighting weight of 165!  Oh…and also your chance to become a better writer!  I know stuff!  I want YOU to know it, too.  The webinar is free, but it is open ONLY to members of InterNations. Basic membership is free.  Go to https://www.internations.org/start/
I joined when I first came to Prague and started relationships that are still going strong.  They have satellites in 420 locations around the globe and host multiple events ranging from yoga classes, wine tasting, mountain biking to…events such as mine!
Here’s the details for those of you who want to mind-meld:

Tue 26 Oct 18:00 – 19:30 Prague time! Czech out your own time zone.

We will add a link to the Zoom meeting one hour before the event starts.

Here’s the announcement as it appears in InterNation’s Global Language and Storytelling Group.  Make sure you join that group once you’ve signed up on InterNations:
Is your half-written novel or short story dry kindling wood, longing to become a flame? Thornton Sully, author of “Fire in the Belly, How to write your novel with Purpose and Passion,” will share stories of three incendiary authors who struck a match. Come sit by the campfire. Bring your muse and we’ll toss your writer’s block into the flames.

As Ernest Hemingway would say: “It’s none of their business you had to learn how to write. Let them think you were born that way.” If you weren’t born that way, this webinar is for you.

Sully is an award-winning developmental editor and the creative mastermind behind “A Word with You Press” and its worldwide community of writers, as well as the Positively Prague! Facebook group. Now in the Czech Republic, he has slept with whatever country would have him, picking up stray stories along the way, and coached a wide range of talent, including a Pulitzer Prize winner, a recipient of the Isabel Allende Miraposa Award for new fiction, and a Best Poetry Award laureate from the San Diego Writer’s Awards. You can find more about him at: https://awordwithyoupress.com/author/thornton/

Thornton Sully has Jack-Londoned his way across the globe sleeping with whatever country would have him, and picking up stray stories along the way. A litter of dog-eared passports that have taken up residence in his sock drawer are a constant temptation, but, as the founder in 2009 of A Word with You Press, dedicated to helping you tell your story persuasively and with passion, it’s not likely he will stray too far from the towers that are A Word with You Press, now located in the Bohemian village of Ceske Budejovice in the Czech Republic, except, perhaps, for an occasional swim in the Aegean. Authors who have sought his advice have won major awards, including the Pulitzer Prize, the Isabel Allende Miraposa Award for new fiction, and the Best Poetry Award from San Diego Writers' Awards. "I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day." Thornton Sully, plagiarizing E.B. White

    Hi Thorn,
