Time for the September meeting of the East Texas Writers Association is here. Friday, September 8, we'll meet at Casa Ole on Spur 63 in Longview at 6:30 p.m. for dinner (optional). The meeting will officially begin at 7:00 p.m. Pamela Dowd will be our guest speaker. Her topic will be on revision. I'm sure it will be terrific as usual. I've attended one of her writing workshops. She is organized and knowledgeable. We're expanding the time alloted from thirty minutes to approximately sixty to accommodate her topic.
Pamela has quite a number of publishing credits in several different venues. Among them are some novellas, magazine articles, anthology works, and greeting cards (she even had her own line - Cookie Jar Greetings - published by Warner Press). She has acted as a judge for the ACFW Genesis Fiction Contest for unpublished writers.
Ms. Dowd's accomplishments don't end with writing. Besides being the mother of three daughters, she has been a private school principal, a pre-school director, a kindergarten teacher, a legal secretary, and a children's clothing designer. What a wealth of experiences for her to draw from for her writing. We are lucky to have her as our guest speaker this month. We hope to see everyone on Friday.
