THE GFO WRITERS' FORUM

Hi Writers,

Start the year off right! Jump start your writing!

The Writers' Forum will meet on Saturday January 9th, from 11:45 a.m.
until 1:45 p.m. at the Genealogical Forum of Oregon. We meet the second Saturday of each month.

Everyone is welcome, whether you have participated before or not. This is your chance to get started writing or improve your writing, whether you are writing for yourself, for others, or plan to enter the GFO writing contest this year.

We learn about good writing techniques -- write and read what we write to each other. Without exception, everyone who has participated in this group over the last five years writes better than they did when they started.

This year we are working with Roy Peter Clark's Writing Tools: 50 Essential Strategies for Every Writer published by Little, Brown and Company in 2006.
Each year we work with a book, but this particular book is making more difference In our writing than any other book we've worked with. We'll be working with Writing Tool 12 Workshop: "Prefer the Simple over the Technical"
this Saturday.

Bring your lunch if you would like.

Peggy
