Connie and Ruthie’s wedding

carrenstrock — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 23:25:22 +0000

On Tuesday, July 26, 2011, I had the great pleasure of attending the wedding of Connie Kurtz and Ruthie Berman, two dear friends who have done so much for so many and were instrumental in keeping me sane as I went through my own coming out process 21 years ago. They had been living in a domestic partnership for 36 years waiting for gay marriage to become legal in New York and were married in a synagogue and under a rainbow colored Chupah (awning) as is customary at traditional Jewish weddings just two days after New York became the sixth and largest U.S. state to recognize same-sex weddings. It was one of the most joyous weddings with many friends and family members in attendance.

IWWG 34th Annual Summer Conference

carrenstrock — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 17:43:12 +0000

I am happy to announce that I will be a workshop director for the International Women’s Writing Guild’s 34th Annual Summer Conference which will be held from June 24-July 1, 2011.

One of my workshops will be based on my book, A Writer’s Journey: What to Know Before, During, and After Writing a Book and will tell you what to know from finding a place of your own in which to write, to dealing with the mounds of paper that are unavoidable, to writer’s block and on to marketing your published book. It will also cover everything in-between.

Another will be a fun course on improving your photography. We’ll be going on a “shoot” around the campus and then discussing how the photos can be improved with simple composition adjustments. This course is based on the information I picked up will doing stock photography for many years.

The conference will be held at Yale University where forty separate workships will be offered each day. It will be open to all women regardless of professional portfolio.
