How convenient—grab a coffee or tea at the 4Given Coffee shop (and a Danish if you’d like) and attend the meeting in the conference room, which is located on the 2nd floor. Thank you, Naomi, for all the behind-the-scenes assistance that you provide! We appreciate you! REVIEWING STORY PLOTTING facilitated by Susan Marlene & guided by all of those attending. :) Don’t want to get stuck when writing your story? That would be peachy, but many of us fall into the mire of where my characters go from here and who are they really. I’ve wandered around in my first attempts at writing stories before and it isn’t fun. This past year I admit to getting stuck in the mire and not knowing my characters well enough to proceed. Then I remembered to go back to the basics and revisit a book on writing called GMC GOAL, MOTIVATION, & CONFLICT by Debra Dixon. Ideas started firing! I’m focused. I’m back! Hooray! How about your project? I will plop down some helpful strategies and show you Debra’s book (one I believe every author should use) for navigating and creating characters and plot. Then let’s dig in and see what everyone is working on and wants help with. The great thing about GMC is that no matter what kind of writer you are (plotter or seat-of-the-pants), this book has direction for you and lots of mileage on successfully published stories influenced by these goal, motivation, and conflict principles. So we will keep back time from teaching for anyone who wants to bounce some ideas or brainstorm their work in progress—if they want to. We will try to get to everyone's projects, but we must work within the time allotted. I appreciate the wisdom of our group who honestly and kindly worked together to help and inspire one another! Be ready to learn some great info from each other and have a lot of fun! PROMPT: 2025 Goals to bring a good start! Pens meetings are free and encouraging! We hope to see you there!

Words are not just words. They are thoughts and inspiration that have been behind every relationship and every deed--good or bad throughout time. If you have that burning desire to communicate and explore, come peruse my pages, teachings, and short stories. Allow inspiration to anchor your dreams on the written pages of memoirs, devotions, poems, or stories, both short or long! Luxuriate in the creativity you were born to share!

Her in-depth insight into story and respect for the writer’s voice are major reasons I respect her and highly recommend her for your writing project!
