Interesting article

A Facebook friend posted this and I thought it worth sharing with fellow writers.

Tomorrow's Meeting

Hi everyone,

I am so sorry to say that I will not be able to read tomorrow at our meeting -- we sold our house this month and Sept. 30 is the Big Moving Day. Needless to say, every minute of the next 11 days is absolutely essential to packing and moving and getting myself, my husband, two kids, dog, ferret, and goldfish out of this house and settled into the new one :).

I'll definitely look forward to reading at the next meeting, though...good luck to everyone and have a great time!

Writers Reading for OV Writers Group

Just a reminder that  several of you signed up for the new feature of our writing group where you get to read aloud to an appreciative audience a sample of your latest work. (Relay this message along to those not subscribed to our blog.) Think 5-7 minutes for your reading. It'll be enough to get a taste of your flavorful style. If you are not signed up for this round I'm sure you'll be inspired to sign up for the October meeting. This will allow you a chance to get quick feedback on your work, eliminate guessing how many 'papyrus' copies to run off, save $ on ink and paper. You could say we're going green.

I will supply a small sound system so you can be heard above the hum of the pastry cooler. Make plans to bring a friend to enjoy coffee, a pastry, and good company with conversation supplied by valley writers. Affordable fun!

After we have heard all of the writers reading we'll have plenty of time to talk shop, give feedback, or answer inquiries since the bookstore doesn't close 'til 10:00

Questions? Let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Sept. 20, 7:00PM the OV Writers Group at Books-a-Million's Joe Muggs Cafe.
