Hi Nancy,

Ii think you have to go on their site to access the archived workshop. You might want to double check if they don’t offer it in the newsletter next week.

Hi Nancy,
I attended the ICL Writer’s Retreat Workshop last week. I did all the assignments, but didn’t post my work. The assignments were fun! I wasn’t aware of the Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level Reader available through Microsoft. My first rewrite on the two paragraphs (Frederick Douglass) was a 5.4. I was surprised with the high number. The second rewrite was 1.1. Yeah!!
It was a joy to be apart of your workshop. Thank you so much for your time, information and expertise. I plan on buying your newest book. God bless.
Beth

Hi Beth,
Thanks for stopping in and saying “hi”! I’m so glad you liked the workshop and had fun doing the exercises, too. And how exciting to know you got the Frederick Douglass down to a 1.1. You can do it!!!!
