The year is half over, or is there half of it left? This time of year always gets me thinking about how much (or how little) I have accomplished in my writing. I have just finished the Arkansas Writers' Conference, but there are plenty more highlights left in our area this year.
September 4 at Searcy is the White County Creative Writers' Conference, always a wonderful learning experience. It is held at Harding and several contests are involved. Go to www.whitecountycreativewriters.org for information.
October features the Ozark Creative Writers Conference at Eureka Springs. One of my favorite Western authors, Johnny Boggs will be there this year. Contests galore at this one, too. Visit www.ozarkcreativewriters.org for further info.
November 6, the Maumelle Writers' Conference will be held at the Jess Odom Community Center in Maumelle. Contests and great speakers are featured. See details at www.maumellewritersconference.com
Besides these wonderful opportunities, there is Poetry Day in Hot Springs October 15-16 at the Comfort Inn on Central Ave. I'll be speaking there this year. My calendar is full of conferences and contests for the rest of the year, plus my duties with my two writers' groups in El Dorado, plus my writing and book readings/signings, and this little ol' blog. Ahhhhh, it's great to be a writer and busy with writerly things...
I encourage each of you to schedule several conferences, seminars, readings, writers' meetings for the latter half of this year. Finish up with a bang!
Write on, folks!
