Writing

The second Saturday of the month is our regularly scheduled Christian Writers' Club meeting. I generally come away from these get-togethers mildly inspired to write. It's pretty cool that people that actually write for publication let me hang out with them and pretend like I'm one of them.

Our meetings always have a workshop session and a guest speaker. Featured speakers might be authors, editors, publishers, or some other field expert. Some are poets, children's book authors, sci-fi, research writers, and many other genres. Their speech topics are rarely so narrow that they eliminate any of the various writers or wannabe writers in the group.

This month's keynote speaker was Tracy Garrett. Tracy writes romance books and brought another romance author, Addison Fox, with her. I think we all learned a bit about the rules of writing and when to break them. Tracy was informative, entertaining, and very much a down to earth kind of writer.

Maybe I'll have enough inspiration to write in earnest for a short time. It's a liitle crazy but I'm now following three romance authors on Twitter.

Weird, huh?

Maybe I'll write a romance novel!
