Proverbs 22:1 - "A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed
is better than silver or gold."
This month's newsletter is written by Sheila Wilkinson:
What do you think of when you hear the phrase a good name? I think of truthfulness
and integrity. Our writing is an integral part of who we are as we set forth our ideas and
stories. May we always strive to be upright and truthful in all of our words that we may claim
the honor of having a good name.
Writing Prompt: Pretend you will be interviewed on television and think of five questions
you would like the interviewer to ask you. Now, answer those questions. Then take those
answers and craft them into a short bio or pitch to be used with any of your writing.
COMING UP: At the February meeting we will discuss the nuts and bolts of writing. Why
do I write? Must I outline? How do I know when I'm finished? How much should I rewrite?
Do I need to edit? How can I turn telling into showing? We will have open discussion on
these areas with time to share ideas for tightening up that flabby writing - both fiction and
nonfiction. Join us on Tuesday, February 13, 2018, at 7:00 p.m.; bring your questions, your
writing, and your examples.
