Topic: "Overcoming Writer's Block"

About the Meeting

You're on deadline, and you're still staring at that blank piece of paper or computer screen. What will you do; what WILL you do? Come listen to our panel of three distinguished area writers talk about overcoming writer's block, and share your "block breakers" with your colleagues.

Don't forget your business cards for networking! We collect a business card from each attendee for a chance to win the registration fee for the Annual conference. The drawing takes place at the March meeting. The more meetings you attend, the more chances to win.
