Long distance Scribbler Terry Odell will be donating ALL (that’s 100%) of the royalties from pre-orders of her newest romantic suspense, Windswept Danger to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Her daughter was recently diagnosed with this (as yet) incurable condition, and this is Terry’s way of trying to help find the cure. Pre-orders are only 99 cents, and it’s for a good cause.
Here is a link to Terry’s original post on her website.
On Sunday, October 19 at 2 p.m., join us in the Albertson Room at Orlando Public Library for some fun and a learning opportunity. In this workshop you will discover how to construct strong, complex characters and detailed story lines that will capture the imagination of readers and keep them turning pages. Bring your new or working idea for a story and you will get a plot and character intensive with three published young adult authors who will help you deepen and refine what you already have or get you started on the right track.
On Sunday, October 12, at 4 p.m. join your fellow writers for critique, discussion, and camaraderie at Orlando Public Library, 101 E. Central Blvd, Magnolia Room. Writers of all genres and experience are welcome.
We will be critiquing at this meeting. If you have a piece (less than 1200 words) to be critiqued, please email it to Sarah no later than October 6th at fisk.sarah@ocls.info. Remember: In order to be eligible for critique, you must have attended at least one Writers Group meeting in the past.
If you would like to receive the critique pieces to read before the meeting, please email Sarah before October 6th.
