Note January Monthly Meeting Time Change

Please make note that our Saturday, January 14th will begin at 10:00 am on BookPeople’s 2nd floor. Come join us as Brian Yansky kicks off  2012 by helping us all to “Get Organized!” His presentation promptly at 10:00 am. Get that? Promptly at 10 am at BookPeople. His  presentation will be followed by the Open Critique Group upstairs, in the 3rd floor at 11:00.

Then, at 1:00, Tim Crow and Lynne Kelly, in a casual, conversational setting, will be sharing wisdom gleaned from attending the Story Masters Workshop with Chris Vogler, James Scott Bell, and Donald Maass as presenters. It’ll be almost be as good as attending the real deal!

And, as a sidebar, based on popular demand by conference goers, we’ve been able to add 10 more spaces to the Lisa Yee: Creating Compelling Bad Guys and Bullies full-day intensive being held on Sunday, January 19! There will be more conference information to follow, shortly.

But, for now, we’re looking forward to seeing you at 10:00 am this Saturday at BookPeople.

Let’s bring in the New Year right, y’all…Together!!!!
