Shreveport Writers Club meeting of November 22 featured a mini-workshop with Benton author CONNIE COX (in blue, above left, with Secretary BARBARA MOORE) on using details of setting and props to develop characters, whether in fiction or memoir writing. Connie teaches writing in the Continuing Education Department of BPCC. Information about upcoming courses is available at her website conniecox.com
SWC will have its annual Christmas meeting on Saturday, December 13, in the Broadmoor Library Community Room, 11:00 to 1:00. Members should bring a guest, some finger foods to share and a Christmas reading of their own work or by a favorite author. The club will provide drinks, paper goods, and a platter of cold cuts and cheeses.
Under New Business, as a memorial to recently-deceased member Troy Rushing, the membership voted to purchase a copy of Troy’s book, Hubcap Biscuits and Corncob Wars, to be donated to the Montclair Park Retirement Center, and also to contribute $20 to each of the charities suggested by the Rushing family – the American Heart Association and the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
President BECKY HAIGLER,right, was glad to be able to give out four of the SWC “Making a Mark” ballpoints to members who had submitted writing for publication since the last meeting.
