December 2011 President’s Message from Violet Carr Moore

December stirs nostalgic reflections of yesterday and brings dreams for tomorrow. This season demands choices. Tall tree? Small tree? No tree? Mall shopping or online? Stay home or travel? If you’re a writer, you could be juggling these cold-weather options while you pen warmhearted Mother’s Day stories. Perhaps you’re curled by a glowing fireplace, editing a summer vacation experience for a travel magazine. Wherever you are-first draft, critiquing, editing, or publishing-it’s time to celebrate the writer in you.
