Elisabeth Naughton Speaks about Stealing Time to Write
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Carving time out of a busy schedule is something Naughton knows well. The former Junior High science teacher was already busy with kids and family when the writing bug bit her. But long before her debut release, Naughton has been busy on blogs, with her critique group, and as the President of the Mid- Willamette Valley Chapter of the Romance Writer's of America. At our February 3rd meeting where she will talk about her journey and how to balance writing and life.

Cassiel Knight presents
Body Language: It's more than a gaze
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It doesn’t matter whether you are a beginner or an advanced writer. Trying to think of different ways to show your character’s body language is a struggle. After all, how many times can you use the words gaze, glance or look just to name a few? This workshop was born of necessity. It focuses on how to communicate your character’s actions through creative use of body language using real life examples from photographs and pictures.
