[stylist] May Writers' Division Gathering

[Robert Leslie Newman]

RE: May  Telephone Gathering  
 
Our May gathering will happen on May 23rd, 1 week sooner than the normal
last Sunday of the month. recall, the theme ---will be a time to present
some of our personal writings for critique. Anyone can present, all can give
constructive criticism. You can read your own work or have someone else read
it for you. Also, it has been suggested that an author who is planning to
present, could send the work out prior to the evenings event..A good idea,
though not a requirement. And if you are going to send it out prior to the
meeting, you could send it to STYLIST with the note that  it is a piece for
the meeting. (We have seen several pieces of novels or entire short stories
appear for public suggestion and people have enjoyed these. It will be great
if the authors come on the call and we get to hear their voice reading their
work.) And one thought or caution - the material intended for this meeting,
seeing how you and we will not know who will attend, the material to be read
must be acceptable for a general audience. 
 
I personally will not be attending. Shelley Alongi will be the moderator.
You all have a great session! Remember, keep the flow manageable, keep your
comments brief and give all on line a chance to talk. 
 
Next month, June, we will have another special guest. She also is a Division
member, Nancy Scott. Nancy is a former president of the Division, a person
who has been writing for years, has been published, has won writing contests
. She will be presenting a one hour (possibly longer) workshop on Goal
Setting. And you all know that to get to a goal,  you have to set one. And
for some of us, setting and reaching a goal is not an easy thing. Nancy has
a great program on the anatomy and making the achievement of reaching a
goal, am obtainable goal. (Woo, that got to be a little tangled, but what
Nancy's has is better than that. During the first part of June, a bio of
Nancy will be sent to STYLIST, you will see her credentials how it is that
she can speak to the topic of Goal Setting.) I am looking forward to June's
gathering.
 
And as for July, I promise we will have a guest speaker on the topic of
technical writing.
 
 The phone number to call in on is- 218-339-4300 

The code is: 568839# (last character is a number sign)

Respectfully yours,
