Blowing in the Wind!
A Meeting Recap by Marcia Gaye
Saturday Writers’ January meeting was a whirlwind of information and opportunities.
Lots of things are blowing in fast, so be prepared. Submit your idea for a logo. Read your works-in-progress an hour before February’s meeting, check out the guidelines. Enter monthly contests for cash and publication. Remember, the contest topics are not literal, nor genre specific, but more like prompts, so let your imagination go wild! Just tie the theme in and keep to submission guidelines.
Consider lending a hand for the annual children’s contest. SW sponsors it with the goal of encouraging students to enjoy writing, and it is very popular. Offer your assistance to Debbie Hedges.
A huge round of thanks to the January speakers’ panel. We were treated to tons of expertise, tips and advice by some of our own successful mentors. It is very inspiring to know how Saturday Writers has proved to be a valuable resource over the years. With members like these, it will continue to be so. Each of us can realize our aspirations by applying what we learn right here.
