On Saturday, Hubby and I joined our writer friends in Branson, Missouri for the quarterly OWL meeting. In the early session, children's author David Harrison held a lively discussion on creating children's literature. Thanks for sharing, David. Very enlightening.
After a short break, Wendy Ledbetter Fite, editor of the Nevada County Picayune, who has earned her living for more than a decade with freelance writing, shared her writing secrets and tips. Topics included Internet and newspaper writing and photography. Loved it, Wendy! I could listen to you all day. Thanks for keeping it real.
The highlight of our day was lunch with our good writer friend, Jeanie Horn, who is becoming well-known for her newspaper clips about rural Arkansas.
Anyone who knows Miss Jeanie will tell you that she is a hoot, and when she starts talking about writing, you would do well to listen. That gal knows her stuff. Over steaming bowls of potato soup and huge (as Jeanie put it "Dolly Parton size") yeast rolls at Bob Evans Restaurant, we stirred the old writer's pot and came up with some great ideas for future submissions.
Thanks, Jeanie. You inspired me to light some new fires. We love you, gal.
Happy writing, everyone.
