January Meetings

Happy January! Did you know that the month of January was named for the two-faced Roman god, Janus, god of gates, doors, passages and beginnings? It was indeed. And I'm not just calling him two-faced because he owes me money. The deity was literally depicted having two faces, one looking to the future and the other looking to the past.

The future of The Savannah Writers Group is looking bright! We have a freshly updated Calendar page!

Upcoming January meetings will happen on Tuesday, January 14th & Tuesday, January 28th.

At these meetings you can expect to discuss future programs and to read some work of your own or critique what other members decide to share.

Also, on  Tuesday, January 14th, you might just see Ms Brenda Roberts, who is gearing up for the Local Author's Corner at the Black Heritage Festival to be held on Saturday, February 8th. If you are interested in "going in" on the cost of an author's table at the event, you're going to want to link up with Ms Roberts.

Then, on Tuesday, January 28th we have a fantastic guest speaker lined up. We will be welcoming Bebe Willoughby, whose credits include her time at Random House and at Simon & Schuster, where she served as an editor! Stay tuned for a full bio.

Meanwhile, friends, didja notice my colorful banner up top? I simply had to spread awareness of actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt's television project called HITRECORD. This variety show of sorts includes the collaborative work of hundreds of artists, writers and performers just like yourselves who are paid for their work in his production company. In fact, I'm a member! You can be, too! Check out this informational news segment on the topic.

...This is interesting. The Roman god Janus also presided over war and peace, the beginnings and endings of conflicts. I hope your January is full of endings to conflicts.
