May Meeting Notes
Summer is well on the way, yet with the threat of non-stop rain, two new attendees managed to brave the weather for the May meeting.
Charlene is placing the finishing touches on her memoir and Alexandra, a well-known motivational trainer, is currently working on a self-help book. We look forward to hearing about and reading chapters from both books!
Critique Status
Manuscript critiques are well under way with feedback to be distributed shortly.
Please feel free to email me if you would like to participate in the next critique session.
Field Trip Anyone?
Ever had a subject you wish you could get more hands-on information when the Internet wasn’t enough? Well…you’re in luck! Christy of the Gainesville Fiction Writers group is creating a field trip/research group for writers looking to get detailed info on a particular subject. Take a tour of a stable and get a crash-course in horseback riding, speak to a lawyer or law enforcement officer about changing an identity, or simply get a “behind the scenes” view of a restaurant kitchen. These are just a few samples but if this seems like an idea that’s right up your alley, stay tuned for more detailed info.
Judge…Judge…Who’s Got the Judge?
I’m taking a moment to toot my own horn in this section. I’m proud to say that I have been asked to be a judge for the final round of the Florida Writers Association (FWA) Royal Palm Literary Awards for 2009. I look forward to reading the adventures and personal experiences of FWA’s top writers.
That’s all for now, folks. Keep on writing and see you again soon.
