ePress-online is Proud to Announce that the Ebook, Pumping Your Muse Selected for Use as Textbook for a Well Known Workshop
(PRLEAP.COM) ePress-online, Inc., an small ebook publisher, is honored to have one of its books chosen to participate in the learning process for aspiring and professional authors. Donna Sundblad’s inspirational writer’s manual has been selected for use in the online writer’s workshop, F2K, at Writers’ Village University http://www.wvu.org as the best book to inspire and reinvigorate the inner author.
Donna, an author and editor at ePress-online, Inc. distinguished herself and her writing skills by being selected to participate in this renowned online creative writing class.
Whether a beginning writer or an experienced author suffering from a dry period or writer’s block Pumping your Muse is designed to reignite the spark of creativity and help a writer get the job done.
Pumping Your Muse drives the imagination through a series of world-building drills. Each chapter extracts elements from the real world and uses them to construct a believable fictional realm. Characters and plots naturally emerge.
This innovative process takes fresh scenes, turns them upside down and propels the imagination into new un-chartered territories on the Flip Side.
Here thought processes depart from the path of the obvious to discover fun and unique possibilities.
Following the examples in this book, writer’s scenes meld into a storyline complete with a beginning, middle and end.

April 2007
Moveable Feast With Authors
In April 2007, Donna participated in a Moveable Feast for Authors sponsored by the Heflin Arts Council Literary Division in Heflin, Alabama along with nine other authors. The Arts Council chose a spring garden party theme, and hosted a luncheon for guests.
Authors ate together before the feast began and received a warm welcome along with a key to the city. Guests were seated at one of 10 tables in the main dining area where authors joined them.
During the feast, authors sat with guests while they ate and moved from table to table in five minute increments. With 10 tables, this took almost an hour and gave the guests time to enjoy their meal and to learn about authors and their books. After the meal, folks mingled in the hallway where authors were provided with book tables to offer their books to guests and to answer more questions. A great time was had by all!
Donna's article regarding this event appeared in the April, 2008 issue of The Writer Magazine).
