A note from Carmen...

   We started off the year with talks about the “Dames” and now the Dames will be headed to a new venue...FeatureTex. That’s a first-of-its-kind venture of the Texas Center for Community Journalism and brain child of Dr. Tommy Thomason. I’ll be director and “writer in residence” for this TCU Schieffer School of Journalism program. It’s given me the opportunity to help other writers showcase their works while providing community newspapers--my first love in journalism--with expanded content for their web and print editions. A neat gig and you’ll be hearing more about this as we develop!

   Oh, these “Writers’ Circles”...what a blend of talent and diversity of interests and writings--poets, essayists, memoirists, short story writers and novelists! Most of today’s “scribblers” signed up for the first Writers Circles last September and are continuing. We’ve drawn a few more and now are running full for the six-week sessions that begin in May.

   Here’s a description of their content and if you would like to be on a waiting list...or start in a new class on Thursdays in June, please let me know at carmengoldthwaite@sbcglobal.net or 817-737-6958. See description and details on the Writing Teacher page.
