Next meeting, July 11, 10 a.m., Yosemite Falls Restaurant on Ashland.
July will be a presentation by a SJSinC favorite duo: Bonnie
Hearn Hill and Christopher Allen Poe. The topic will
be "Fishing for Jaws: How we hook you." This will be
a talk for readers and writers on the famous (or is that infamous?) hook - the
first sentence or paragraph of a story that catches the interest of
the reader. There will be examples from classic and modern literature,
fiction and nonfiction as well as tips on how to construct a good
hook.
ALERT: There will be a contest, open to members only.
Bring your best hook - typed (single space okay) - with you to the
meeting. Bonnie and Chris will select a winner and award a prize.
For readers - you may bring one (not longer than a paragraph) from your
favorite author - SJSinC will have a second prize if there are enough entries
from readers only. Need clarification? Please call Terell at
288-2018. Need help with typing your entry? Call Terell!
LATE BREAKING NEWS FLASH: Bonnie has just offered to give a
sample (depending on time) of their talk entitled "Conflict in Fiction:
More than a fist in the face!"
See you all there!
