Hello, Writers!
The Autumnal Equinox happens on Sunday, Sept. 22, at 8:43 a.m., marking the official start of Fall. Everyone is getting used to the kids being back in school, keeping an eye on the Football stats, and happily anticipating the cooler Autumn temperatures. Hopefully, you are still finding time to write.
The 2024 AuthorPalooza is on our doorstep. The Houston Writers Guild presents its three-day conference, which promises to be "a weekend filled with craft workshops, industry panels, and literary fun." It starts on October 4th, and ticket prices range from $25 to $285. More details are available at the HWG Writer's Room, and tickets can be bought via Eventbrite. If you go, please post on our forum and tell us how awesome it was.
BAWL events are going well. Kate Sanger reports the new critique group is well-attended, and they may expand the event duration to two hours. She uses Facebook to keep the group informed. Julie Pitzel uses Facebook to keep her Saturday Write-In group informed, too. I've added a link to BAWL's Facebook presence below. The morning Write-in events have new people joining and more people working toward their dreams of doing more writing. Good stuff! If you want to attend any of these events, please RSVP via the Events page. You'll receive the location and Zoom information in a confirmation email. Remember, the Zoom link is the same as always.
A few new members have joined BAWL during the last couple of months. A very warm welcome to you all. If you are interested in volunteering to help with the Newsletter, In-Person Events, the 2025 Anthology, or an idea you might be nurturing... please contact editorbawl@gmail.com.
Take care, and keep writing!
