[stylist] Notice of Writers Division Gathering on Sunday February 26

[Lynda Lambert]

I am looking forward to joining you on Sunday night. It is an honor to be 
with you all. I'll be talking about ways to be intentional about our writing 
this year.

I have very exciting news to share today. I woke up to learn that my new 
book is now up and available to the public to purchase.
Many of you know that after I lost my sight in 2007, it was almost 2 years 
before I could use a computer again. I had lots of rehabilitation training 
that enabled me to be on-line again, and to celebrate that, I started to 
write a blog: www.lyndalambert.com

As the years went by, I kept on writing, and writing, and writing. I started 
sending out my poems and creative non-fiction articles and stories to 
various publications. Last year, I had over 70 pieces of my work published.
Also, last year I decided that I would begin to go over my 7 years of 
stories and begin to compile them into a book.
TODAY, my dream has become my REALITY.

Walking by Inner Vision: Stories & Poems

I worked with DLD Books in Denver, Colorado since  early last fall and today 
the book is now available as an e-book, Kindle, and print book. It will 
become available in other ways in the days  ahead, too.

...and, just a few moments ago, I had a notice that my first book was just 
purchased. WOW, I am super excited to share this news with you!

Notice of Writers' Division Gathering on February 26

Greetings from your Writers' Division gathering hostess and the cats Pearl
and Brandy! You know they approve all our Writers' Division presentation.
They really like the February one and I know you will, too. Again, my
apologies for not joining the call in January but it seemed that technical
difficulties plagued my phone. I had to learn how to reset it. It sounds,
however, like you had a good call. The idea of these once a month
gatherings is to share our projects and learn something new.

Join us on Sunday February 26 for a presentation on Writing Our Intension
given by Lynda Lambert. Many of you know her from past interactions from
the list.

Lynda says: Let's call the presentation "Writing with Intention."
I'll speak about how to become more intentional in our writing life and
ways to get our work accomplished and out to editors and publishers as well
as some personal ways of changing our thoughts to maximize our efforts.
