November 2, 2005 My dear readers, For me time seems to move so quickly. Recently we had a clock change, preparing us for some light in the mornings, yet dark evenings. I believe it was dark around 5:30 p.m. yesterday evening. At this time of year, I always begin my countdown to December 21, the shortest day of the year, and the time when we can all look forward to more light. Although time continues to move forward at a seemingly fast pace and daylight seems to be nonexistent, there still are wonderful happenings. Here, in Rochester, NY, we’ve had a late fall—many leaves still hanging on the trees in the burnt orange, gold, and fiery red colors. Soon I’ll be able to look forward to a visit from my mother, who is coming North for Thanksgiving. And, then just around the corner will be the start of more holiday events. All in all, it seems that this is a promising season, even through the dark-like days and evenings. In this issue, we have some articles that should help gear you up for some great research for writing. Too often, myself included, do we try to write without preparing the small details. With a little research and some organization—something I’m currently working on building for myself—we can learn to write more efficiently and fluidly. I want to remind you about our ongoing Memoir Contest, where we will be showcasing your memoirs in an upcoming issue. If you’re interested in submitting a work for this special event, please send your work to Stacy Colombo at sac_9@excite.com by midnight, Thursday, December 1. Make sure you don’t miss this impressive chance to “ring in the New Year” with us! The guidelines for this special memoir writing event are as follows: * Original work of writing in the memoir genre; I hope you will continue to enjoy this Autumn season as we all anticipate the coming winter—snow and all. With Warm Regards,
IN THIS ISSUE
Make sure you read News by Shelley Bueche. Not only will you find out about the current winners of the Nobel prizes, you will also learn about WWJB? Terrie Leigh Relf reminds us to mind the details when writing stories in “Researching Your Way to Believable Settings: It’s in those pesky little details, isn’t it?” Sometimes doing a little research before writing is essential. Have you ever found yourself thinking back to a childhood memory while completing an everyday task? How often do we find ourselves slipping back and forth between the present and the past? Stacy Colombo shares her inspiring and beautiful memoir, “Love Locks;” a memory that recaptures the bond between two loved ones, eternally held in one, small object. Christina Hamlett takes us through the ins and outs of “ELDRIDGE PUBLISHING: THE FIRST HUNDRED YEARS.” Looking for a contest or two, or more, to enter? Then take a peek at Grace Tierny’s article, “Travel Writing Contests – Time to Pack your Notebook.” Just what exactly does one bring to a conference? Regina Allen fills us in with “The Checklist.” For some holiday fun, try out this issue’s Contest, Thanks Giving, or the issue’s Puzzle, Turkey Scramble.
