I've had several people remind me that I promised to have Clustar Method
materials on our website, then didn't get it up there. I plead the cobbler's
children...our kids don't have shoes, but our clients have great footwear.
Now, though, we've just updated our website (URL below) and it includes a
Clustar Method book in PDF. It's easy to read, too, written by Edgar
Huntington, a writer at Simply Written. Some of you may have met him at PCOC
this year, where he conducted a Clustar Method workshop. The book actually
has characters and a plot, if you can believe that!
As last time, opinions on the site are solicited. The mailto works now; the
old site's mailto expired and wasn't updated for a couple of months. Again,
our clients have GREAT pages...
I'll be conducting a workshop myself at the Region 4 conference in November,
so let me know if you want to get together before or after. Columbus isn't
far from Indianapolis, so I can make the drive and still have schmoozing
time.
And for those of you I met at the Region 6 conference...thanks for
everything. The conference was wonderful, well-attended, and well-run.
Anybody who could have attended and didn't missed a good 'un. Thanks for
everything.
