GFO's Writers' Forum Meets February 12th

Hello Aspiring Writers,

The Writers' Forum will meet on Saturday, February 12th, 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 six 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 Now we are working more specifically on language and in December we will be working with Tool 20 Workshop: "Choose the Number of Elements with a Purpose in Mind."

Bring your lunch if you would like.
