Lady Lake Writer News

Recently I decided to take time off the computer for two whole weeks.  My excuse was that Sweetheart and I were gearing up to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversay.  Wow, who would've thought we'd make it this far.  We held true to our silly "early on " motto of  "Murder yes, divorce never!"  Well, that's a lot of water under the bridge, as they say.  I'm sure both of us could have thrown in the towel a few times along the way.  Life is unpredictable, but unlike my unrealistic dreams of a perfect marriage, (watched too many Doris Day -Rock Hudson movies as a teen) we both did lots of growing up along our journey.  It's been anything but dull and oh boy, what a ride it's been so far. We have so much to be thankful for during this Thanksgiving holiday.

Okay, time to get back in the saddle.  Here is what's coming up with Lady Lake Writers in the near future. On January 26, 2012 we will be hosting a workshop which will be moderated by Christy Seiler and Mary Lois Sanders.  It will be for registered FWA members only, so if you haven't joined FWA yet and you'd like to learn a whole lot about how to publish using Create Space, you may want to join our association and not miss out on this one.  If you are an FWA member who already owns a publishing house, you may want to attend and perhaps get some new ideas for publishing packages for your clients to be more competative with this market that is gaining a lot of popularity.  The main thing about using Create Space is the amount of money you can save and still have a professional product to sell.  You can stretch your dollar by learning how to format your book for publication along with other tips that will allow you to make your book price more competative with today's market. Why fork out those extra dollars if you can do most of the setting up process yourself.  Stay tuned for future updates as time gets closer.

In the meantime, keep on writing and don't let those rejection slips get you down.  Remember, perserverance it the key to success.
