January 2022 Writers Roundtable
Tuesday, January 11, 2021 from 6-7:30PM
Writers Roundtable
(A monthly, informal discussion where we talk about topics relevant to today’s working author.)
January’s topic: “Planning For Your Success in 2022″
Setting goals is one thing. Planning HOW to achieve
those goals is where the rubber meets the road.
This is especially true for writers because,
as many of us know, finishing your book is just one step
on the journey to becoming a successful writer.
Join us for a very special Roundtable where we will
start with Maslow’s theories on human motivation then move
onto project planning tips and setting guardrails for our success.
By asking ourselves three important questions
(what do I want? why do I want it? and what am I willing to do (or not do) to get it?)
we can figure out what we need to measure in order to achieve our goals.
Come prepared to take notes, share and interact.
Moderated by Eric James Miller
This will be another virtual meeting via Zoom.
Topic: JAN22 WRT – Planning Your Success for 2022
Time: Jan 11, 2022 06:00 PM Pacific Time (US and Canada)

Writers Roundtable – February 2020
“How to Breathe Life into Your Characters”
with Morgan St. James
Creating characters doesn’t have to be daunting. It is important to remember that the reader
sees events through the eyes of the players in your story.
Morgan St. James will lead us in a discussion about drawing on our own
emotional experiences and using a notebook as a personal databank
to tap into our own impressions and avoid cliches.
