Mark the third Monday of every month for the Writers' Guild of Texas meeting.

Monday, 17 November 2008
7-8:30 p.m.
Topic: Ever Dream of Giving Up Your Day Job and Becoming a Novelist?
Speaker: Rachel Caine

Richardson Public Library
900 Civic Center Dr.
Richardson TX 75080
Basement Room


How many times have you heard (or even said!), "Someday, I'll quit my job and write a novel." Well ... it's not quite that simple, unless you've inherited a Mack truck full of cash from your Aunt Tillie. Come learn how to:

Stop waiting for the world to "give you time to write,"

Organize your writing, and your life, to support your goals,

Be realistic about what writing will do for your checkbook,

And maybe, eventually, live the dream and support yourself on your writing!

Rachel Caine, author of more than 25 books, has been there, done that, and is doing it every day. Come hear how a successful professional lives and works. She will also tell us all about her day job as a real-life corporate executive.
