The Writers' Circle was fortunate to be able to meet in Elgin Park in Uxbridge during the summer, and now meets virtually. While we prefer in-person meetings, we appreciate the opportunity, albeit remotely, to continue our encouragement and support of fellow writers.
We continue with our word challenges! We select words each month and, if we wish to participate, we each create a piece (story, memoir, non-fiction, poem, song) incorporating the words and read it to the members next month. It is inspiring and fascinating to hear the variety of genres and topics. Click on "word challenges" above to sample some, and there are more of my stories on my blog: https://vickyearleauthor.blogspot.ca
I find the word challenge helps to motivate me. And the support and encouragement of fellow members, as well as suggestions for improvement, are invaluable in my journey as a writer. It has also been beneficial to my progress to be able to read sections of my books to the group, during the editing process, to obtain useful feedback.
The fourth book in the Meg Sheppard Mystery Series is currently being edited, and the launch should be held in late spring/early summer 2021.
I'd like readers of this blog to know that there is a December e-book promo for all three books in the series. This link takes you to my author page - click on each book cover to get the link to your favourite e-book retailer: https://books2read.com/ap/nAG71P/Vicky-Earle and get the books at the discount rate.
We are fortunate to have a wonderful independent bookstore in Uxbridge. https://blueheronbooks.com/is supportive of local and self-published authors. Please support them! Books make a great gift. I've done some of my Christmas shopping there - yes, they're open. (My first three books are still available at a special price).
If you are a writer or aspire to be a writer, and are interested in joining us, please contact me: contact@vickyearle.com.
