FINDING YOUR BEST IDEA
Susan is sharing a teaching on discovering ways to Find Your BEST Idea! Seriously—who couldn’t use this teaching! 😊 Bring your computer or paper and pen for this excellent method and inspiration for your successful writing journey!
 
Prompt: Finding Your Best Idea! You may use this share for your cozy murder mystery, poetry, short story or devotion that you wish to write! This can be in blurb form or an actual scene! Enjoy!
 
Announcements – Pick a Book to be explored at the next Pens Readers meeting. Challenge—sell articles to earn enough to attend a writer’s conference or purchase books on “how to write.”  Possible handouts about conferences or contests or teachings.
Pens Novel Readers: Susan Marlene is putting together a group email for those who want to join in picking novels and discussion meetings. (We want to respect those who are too busy or who are uninterested in a reader’s group.) The Lacemaker by Laura Frantz is our current read.
