Our June Write-In at the Orange County Public Library promises a cool setting for plotting murder, dastardly crimes, and mayhem.

What is a Write-In?

It's a day devoted to your writing -
  • No kids
  • No spouses or housemates
  • No pets
  • No to-do list
✔️ Just time with other writers to share creative energy.
 
Details & Registration

Per our usual schedule, there will be no July meeting.
Join us on August 12 at 1:30 pm for a Zoom presentation by Karen Pullen on using astrology archetypes to develop your characters.
Did you know that Cancers have drinking problems due to mother issues? Aquarians are wacky and pig-headed? Libras are lazy manipulators?  Pisceans have a mean streak?

Whether you think astrology is bunk or real, writers can milk this ancient personality theory to add dimension and depth to characters.  The stars can help you understand what your heroes, villains, and even minor characters feel and think in the most subtle of ways. We’ll look at choices the twelve zodiac signs make in a couple of different scenarios—and choices create plot!
