Area Writer’s Return
Highlighted at San Diego Conference
Writer Robert “Bob” Yehling returns home for the 24th Annual Southern California Writers’ Conference in San Diego – Presidents’ Day Weekend – February 12-15, 2010 where he will be presenting three workshops and sitting on a non-fiction panel.
Yehling grew up in North San Diego County in Carlsbad. He started his writing career in high school as an assistant sports editor for The Blade-Tribune (now the North County Times). He is a long-time editor, journalist, writing coach and workshop teacher. Bob is the author of seven books, including Writes of Life: Using Personal Experiences in Everything You Write, which won a 2007 Independent Publishers Book Award. He has ghostwritten five other titles. Since 1996, he has owned Word Journeys, Inc., a writing services company and is in the process of launching AuthorStart.com for authors seeking to write and prepare their books for publication. Bob is the current Managing Editor of The Hummingbird Review, a new literary magazine which will debut at the conference.
THE WRITE TIME: 366 Exercises to Fulfill Your Daily Writing Life, Yehling’s latest release, is packed with incisive, story-driven exercises that offer working writers—professional, academic and aspiring alike—a chance to polish their specialties while experimenting with new expressions. Other features:
- 366 exercises: one for each day with space to write "Self-Prompts" after each exercise.
- 366 quotes from famous living and deceased writers, artists, musicians and teachers (many personally gathered by the author), presented to inspire and motivate.
- Over 125 of the best writing websites and blogs listed to create an interactive experience.
- More than 600 listings of authors' birthdays, the most extensive birthday list yet in a writing book.
- Three sets of corresponding Zodiac signs from Western, Celtic and Native American calendars.
- Complete alphabetical index of exercise titles.
