Writers' Morning Out

Chatham/Lee WMO will convene  Saturday,March 11,  at the Greek Kouzina in Pittsboro. The meeting will start at 1:00 pm, although most will come early for lunch.

PROGRAM:  "What problems does your writing now face?"  Is it finding time to write, or perhaps Writers' Block?  Are your problems writing, revising, editing or maybe finding an agent or an editor? Do you have issues like writing good dialog, setting scenes or character/plot development? Which is better: outline or just go forth and write?

Our super panel will put their heads together and hopefully come up with solutions, or at least suggestions. So be thinking about what are your current problems, if any?
