Our November Meeting
Hi all,
Our scheduled speaker is not available this month, so at the last minute Eugene Orlando stepped up to the plate. He will distribute and review a handout of detailed instructions for using MS Word as an author and field questions on those quirks that have been bugging us all. He will also present a mini presentation of a session he will be proposing for next year's FWA conference. It is titled Seven Secrets a Novelist Can Learn from Actors after the book by the same name and is a Stanislavski method acting approach to creating and writing good characters. Having been trained in method acting, Eugene realized about two years ago that he "got into" his characters using this method.
Following our meeting, we will join our guest speaker for lunch at a nearby TBA restaurant.
