Writers Clubs/Organizations

Writers Clubs and Organizations can be beneficial in your writing pursuit.

Once you become interested in writing a book – perhaps ‘composing’ is a better adjective – read through this article.  With the spice of thought before hindsight, review the list below for choice books of assistance, especially if you’re thinking of self-publishing.  There are proper ways and not so proper ways when completing a majestic work, a piece of art…your book.  In brief, writing as a career or a hobby can be a dauntless, unending, yet win-win, task-to-goal.

This particular quote is from the Northern California Publishers & Authors (NCPA) website: www.NORCALl.org.  If you happen to surf on over there, your introduction to this particular organization will be inviting.  I have been an active member of this one for three years.  Before this, my membership and visitations to one club or another was dispersed through 15 years.  During this time, I have had five books published.  Pretty cool, right?

In conclusion, look for resources into writing projects.  People are the best resource.  Ask questions.  Ask for guidance.  Be patient with yourself as you learn updated techniques and grow brain cells, lol.

Tell me what you think?  Which book and/or author did you choose?  Share what you know about writing.  🙂
