Writers Meeting - Jan. 11th

 



Meeting - Sat. Jan 11 @ 10a - 12p

High Mountain Church
681 High Mountain Rd., No. Haledon, NJ



Looking forward to gathering with you tomorrow. The Spanish church will be using the Cafe tomorrow all day, so our writers' meeting will be UPSTAIRS.  

Tomorrow, we will discuss goals to focus on for the year and then break down those goals into achievable segments on a shorter timeline. Here is a handy resource for writers to help with setting goals: Setting Writing Goals – The Writing Center • University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Please check the critique guidelines on the right sidebar if you plan to bring your writing for critique.

Looking forward to seeing you this Saturday, Nov. 2nd 10a-12p.

As I mentioned at the last meeting, a friend and I are collaborating on a Self-Publishing Guidebook. We have a draft outline, but we are looking to YOU as a focus group to provide us with questions that you want answered. I'll be bringing the draft outline for our opening discussion. PLEASE THINK ABOUT WHAT QUESTIONS YOU HAVE REGARDING SELF-PUBLISHING FOR OUR DISCUSSION ON SATURDAY. 

See you then,
Susan

Here we go again!

As our faithful members know, we've been corresponding via email (not the blog) these past 6-7 months or so. We haven't figured out the technology for the blogposts to be emailed, but we'll continue to work on it, and in the meantime, will send emails and update the blog for your reference. 

We had a great meeting on Sept. 7th - recapping our summers and setting goals for the upcoming year, as well as monthly. 

Welcome to our new members!! 

The next meeting is:

  • Sat. Oct. 5th
  • 10 am - 12 noon
  • High Mountain Church, 681 High Mountain Rd., No. Haledon, NJ

As you know, Barbara, our wonderful leader, is now leading a writers club at Calvary Temple in Wayne. It meets on Thursday evenings. Here is a link for more info: https://calvarynj.churchcenter.com/groups/interest-groups/writers-club

For those who prefer Saturdays, we will continue to meet at High Mountain Church from 10 to 12 on the first Saturday of each month.
