GFO WRITERS: FORUM SATURDAY

Hello Aspiring Writers,

The Writers' Forum will meet on Saturday, December 10th, 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 or for others.

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 seven 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 has been the most helpful of any book we worked with. Now we are working more specifically on language and at this meeting we will be working with Tool 26 Workshop: "Use Dialogue as a Form of Action."

Bring your lunch if you would like.

Peggy
