Announcement for Writers and Book Lovers

Florida Book News

This is to announce a new free service for writers. It's called Florida Book News. The online address for it is http://www.loubelcher.com/tip

If you have an announcement about

• your book
• a uncoming publication
• a book signing
• a writing presentation
• a workshop about writing
• writing conferences
• a writing organization
• meeting announcements

or any other event going on in the Florida writing and book community, Lou will post it on Florida Book News. Postings will occur twice monthly. Send news and announcements by the 1st or 15th of the month and they will be posted on the 3rd or 18th.

Submit writing and book news by email to Lou@LouBelcher.com or by snail mail to LouBelcher, P.O. Box 61228, Palm Bay, FL; 32906-1228.

You can begin to send in your news now.

Be a Writer

Be a writer. Don't quibble about it. It doesn't matter if you have a day job doing something other than writing. That's what you do to make the ends meet. Your vocation is being a writer. If you write, you are a writer.

When people ask you what you do, don't say, "I want to be a writer." If you write, you are a writer.

Own it... live it... write about it.. Your writing will take on new meaning with your new thought pattern toward writing.

Tip: Be A Writer.

Update to Readers

It's a sunny day in Florida. Here's a picture that should inspire writers.

I've rearranged this blog a bit. I was publishing the sessions for my series Before You Write here. I have moved those sessions to my blog: Writer's Creative Studio. So, check them out by clicking on the word blog above. I have just published Session 5, so don't miss it.

Tip of the day: Writing is practice. Practice each day. Send me your thoughts on the photo above.
