Robbie Murphy, the writer who inspiried my writing journey, was the driving force behind the workshop I led at the Embassy of Portugal on November 26. I began the session by acknowledging her classes at the Writer's Center in Bethesda, Maryland. Robbie (Roberta) had a unique ability to understand my earlier writings, and her insigths were, in the long run, transformative. 
Six attendees joined the workshop and, magically, we quickly connected. 

This led to the formation of a monthly online writing group, which I will be leading in Portuguese. It will be called The Robbie Murphy Workshop in Creative Writing.

Robbie, I'm carrying the torch!
