color: white; font-size: x-large;">A Fresh Start in the New Year</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span face="arial, sans-serif" style="caret-color: rgb(32, 33, 36); color: white; font-size: 16px; text-align: left;"><i><b style="background-color: #783f04;">Proverbs 16:3 “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.” </b></i></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><b style="background-color: #783f04;">With the start of every new year I write a list, not of resolutions, but of goals and prayers. I like to set both yearly goals to get things in motion towards achieving further long-term goals. I started my writing list in 2005. I knew the calling of God in my heart was to write a book. That was literally my only goal at the time. One book is all I thought I had in me. Thankfully, God's dreams for us are far bigger than we could ever imagine.</b></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><b style="background-color: #783f04;">So, my initial goals were modest: 1.) Write a book, 2.) Get published.</b></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><b style="background-color: #783f04;">Can you identify?</b></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><b style="background-color: #783f04;">Most aspiring writers start out two ways. </b></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><b style="background-color: #783f04;">The Dreamer: Humble and puny. A learning sponge. Don't know much about how the writing and publishing world works. Feel like the whole thing is an impossible or next to impossible dream. Yet, they persist. Pray. Work hard. Failure comes time and again. But they keep writing anyway. Writing is who they are. A calling from God. It's in their blood. They won't give up or give in until they achieve their goal. Write a book. Get published.</b></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="background-color: #783f04; color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The Know-it-Alls: Full of confidence fueled by excessive googling and good grades, these writers know that all they need is a big break. Get the attention of an agent or editor and they will jump at the chance to sign them. They chase agents and editors down at conferences, dominate table conversations, brag about their qualifications. </span><span style="font-size: medium;">They pick and poke at successful authors behind their backs, judging their works as inferior to their own, shaking their heads at the ignorance of the publishing houses that signed them.</span></span></b></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><b style="background-color: #783f04;"><span>Which one are you? </span><span>The answer is probably both.</span></b></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><b style="background-color: #783f04;">Aspiring authors are creatives, who are both dreamers and know-it-alls—in the beginning, at least. We can be shallow and prideful at times. Even braggadocious and self-centered. But we can also be helpful, generous, kind, and thoughtful to our fellows on the fellowship ship. With time and experience and good writing chops, writers who wish to become published authors learn as much as they need to know to achieve their goals with the best chance for success. Some are eventually contracted. Others opt for indie (self) publishing. Both goals are valid and achieve the same result. You become a published author, but with a high-quality product and a higher chance for success.</b></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><b style="background-color: #783f04;">And it might surprise you to know that the beginning author goal is the same goal for every author no matter how many books they've written.</b></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><b style="background-color: #783f04;">Wash. Rinse. Repeat.</b></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><b style="background-color: #783f04;">1.) Write a book, 2.) Get published.</b></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: white; font-size: medium;"><b style="background-color: #783f04;">The next book is always the next goal.</b></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY7n2ly1vxM2IxEjIE7ndgZ_pp8U5ODrEeHiKzAOuKjULgfHoZ8V0UPhBvfftpoYZdesndFyv5yUYkncM-BWBoWh6jb1V2Rq6jVEsI7C_KAJPMG2bAIan87w7yaYQz-Mn0duEbcu5O2T_JMtCrg6VkOsb8bRY-hYQYHX_wvz6BcYxthea13KaOYo8J0w/s640/208206E6-32D0-4EEB-8450-8AFF45DF25FB.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="background-color: #783f04; color: white;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="464" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY7n2ly1vxM2IxEjIE7ndgZ_pp8U5ODrEeHiKzAOuKjULgfHoZ8V0UPhBvfftpoYZdesndFyv5yUYkncM-BWBoWh6jb1V2Rq6jVEsI7C_KAJPMG2bAIan87w7yaYQz-Mn0duEbcu5O2T_JMtCrg6VkOsb8bRY-hYQYHX_wvz6BcYxthea13KaOYo8J0w/s320/208206E6-32D0-4EEB-8450-8AFF45DF25FB.jpeg" width="232" /></span></a></div><span style="background-color: #783f04; color: white;"><br /><span face="arial, sans-serif" style="caret-color: rgb(32, 33, 36);"><i><b>Proverbs 19:21 “Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.</b></i></span></span><p></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span style="caret-color: rgb(32, 33, 36); color: white;"><b style="background-color: #783f04;">Linda Kozar</b></span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span style="caret-color: rgb(32, 33, 36); color: white;"><b style="background-color: #783f04;">Your Madam President 2023</b></span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span style="caret-color: rgb(32, 33, 36); color: white;"><b style="background-color: #783f04;">Writers On The Storm</b></span></span></p>Linda Kozarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08372159327036786444noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876282751776173854.post-65447075252762977912022-11-14T15:58:00.007-06:002022-11-14T16:34:26.571-06:00White Elephant Book Exchange Christmas Party<p> THIS YEAR—2022—DO NOT MISS this extravaganza of gloriously funny books!

All for giggles and grins, of course. The idea from my own home library collection of odd book titles started by mother, a true lover of books. Mama Rose loved reading and loved shopping for books almost as much as reading them. </div><div><br /></div><div>However, she often brought home some titles or subject matter we kids enjoyed poking fun at. Like "The Amazing Health and Household Uses of Hydrogen Peroxide," or "365 Ways To Cook An Egg." She is ninety years old now and I proudly display some of her titles on my shelves. Though I couldn't bring myself to read them, I couldn't quite bear to give them away either, so I did the only logical thing. I started collecting. </div><div><br /></div><div>Soon, I began to look for titles with the same spark of weird and wonderful fire. And I found them. Most of them are right under our noses. On discount tables, resale shops, lonely antique shops, estate sales and garages. And over the years, my collection has grown. </div><div><br /></div><div>Below are pictures from our 2021party.

Wherever you are on your writing journey, you have come to the right place. Writers On The Storm, The Woodlands, Texas chapter of the <a href="https://acfw.com" style="background-color: white;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #93c47d;">American Christian Fiction Writers</span></a> is a great place to connect with fellow local writers in person at our monthly luncheon meetings,* to learn from multi-published authors and seasoned professionals and industry leaders, and to utilize all the great resources ACFW has to offer its members. Please check out what we're about.</div></span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Chapter One: Writers On The Storm</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The Woodlands, Texas chapter of the American Christian Fiction writers got together for our very first meeting on Saturday, September 6th, 2008. I'd contacted every local person I knew, who had at some point expressed even an iota of an interest in writing, to invite them to an exploratory get together. The goal was to find out if there was enough appeal to join a new chapter. Our premier meeting, through no fault of our own, was literally on</span><span style="font-family: verdana;"> the eve of Hurricane Ike</span><span style="font-family: verdana;">, yet our private room at Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">was maxed out with eager writers. Eager, and maybe a tinge on the crazy side. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Therefore, it seemed appropriate to name our group, "Writers On The Storm." </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">And so, a chapter was born. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">We were absolutely "blown away." </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Our </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">thrill was short-lived however. Hurricane Ike wrought widespread devastation and heartache to our area of Texas. Though the next meeting would be months later, the enthusiasm, much to our surprise, was still there, and continues today.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicM0OFAZZXlmljcDD3Mz2bJENMLXwxLlh_A3KgDz9i_h9syCFXqUomPFAiugN85N0jQKQZiFnTo5u4b2nJ5jRGJW2ItEip5RhNGM8psNFICGJdSb1rkhuVd5Wba7_Rmrb8Zi5vLuDXa5-2/s2048/95F0665E-FD0C-402E-B493-EA0BF49A34FF_1_201_a.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicM0OFAZZXlmljcDD3Mz2bJENMLXwxLlh_A3KgDz9i_h9syCFXqUomPFAiugN85N0jQKQZiFnTo5u4b2nJ5jRGJW2ItEip5RhNGM8psNFICGJdSb1rkhuVd5Wba7_Rmrb8Zi5vLuDXa5-2/w300-h400/95F0665E-FD0C-402E-B493-EA0BF49A34FF_1_201_a.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: red;"><b>Our luncheon meetings at Lupe Tortilla's</b></span></span></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Many members joined with a hope and a dream to someday be published and now they are. Our chapter president, <a href="http://annetteohare.com" target="_blank">Annette O'Hare</a> began with an idea for a YA mystery featuring Weimaraner puppies. Though <u>Puppy Caio</u> was not her first published book, the book is part of her latest series, "Max Tales Mysteries." Her first series was the Bolivar Lighthouse Series, a three-book series published by Pelican. Since 2008, Annette has continually served on the board in various officer positions.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">My first book, <u>Misfortune Cookies</u>, was published by Barbour in 2008, the first in what would become a popular seven book series. A devotion published by Simon & Schuster followed in 2009, and since then, even more books. <a href="http://www.lindakozar.com" target="_blank">www.lindakozar.com</a> I distinctly remember bringing some of my first pages to the meetings for group critique.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Our first speaker was award-winning, multi-published author <a href="https://kathleenybarbo.com" target="_blank">Kathleen Y'Barbo Turner</a>, (Y'Barbo at the time). She has been a continual support to our group since then, and we are honored to have her serve as our Vice President in 2021.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Like Kathleen, award-winning, multi-published author <a href="https://janiceathompson.com" target="_blank">Janice Thompson</a> stuck with us from the beginning, serving as President in those early years and teaching workshops on multiple occasions. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">There are many more stories of WOTS writers who shared the news of their first publishing contract to the cheers and hurrays of fellow members, and others who decided to follow a new option (yes, we witnessed the birth of indie), to publish their books independently. Of course now, most of our authors who are traditionally published also publish independently.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Over the years, our group members have traveled and roomed together at national ACFW conferences, gone on writing retreats, writing field trips to the National Museum of Funeral History and the Texas Prison Museum, hosted our own local mini-conferences, gone on multi-author speaking tours, hosted story contests and published two compilation books of winning entries. Our speakers are always interesting, always informative, and <i>par excellence</i>. But this year, thanks to our new vice president, will surpass all the years before. We have an all-star lineup beginning with our own Janice Thompson in January <a href="https://wotsacfw.blogspot.com/p/2021-meeting-schedule.html" target="_blank">(see our 2021 speaker page for details)</a>.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_67ZK5Np1lSGpwJUQ7ZHhkAg1-mTIQq53z9BNrE_Q9w0_6QXgTLfFTDzPbBjk3FKLrLSSnaV9TJHB3fJdfnGsMnVqAJc36FprAsbAIzUllQUUIwDVnYm-4JAgQAJB34zZket3ci27zSDG/s320/Conference+4.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="213" data-original-width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_67ZK5Np1lSGpwJUQ7ZHhkAg1-mTIQq53z9BNrE_Q9w0_6QXgTLfFTDzPbBjk3FKLrLSSnaV9TJHB3fJdfnGsMnVqAJc36FprAsbAIzUllQUUIwDVnYm-4JAgQAJB34zZket3ci27zSDG/s0/Conference+4.jpg" /></a></span></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">In addition to our regular luncheon meetings, our ZOOM @ NOON series will launch on January 30th. The Zoom meetings are at no cost to our chapter members. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">However, beginning with our FEBRUARY MEETING, members of other ACFW chapters will have the option to join our chapter for a one-time fee of $5 in order to access the entire Zoom series in 2021.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Non members of the chapter and ACFW national are also welcome to view our monthly Zoom series meetings for the low fee of just $10 per meeting for incredible speakers.</span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>WOTS chapter Members:</b> FREE</span></p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Members of other ACFW chapters:</b> One-time fee of $5 to become a member of our Woodlands, Texas chapter.</span></p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Non-members:</b> $10 per ZOOM @ NOON meeting in the series.</span></p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We hope you connect with us soon.

Dear Friends, And Chapter Members,</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As the president of ACFW The Woodlands Chapter, I have consulted with the other board members, and we have collectively made the decision to cancel our regularly scheduled monthly meetings held at Lupe Tortilla in The Woodlands, Texas until further notice. We came to this conclusion in light of the announcement by the World Health Organization that COVID-19 is now declared a pandemic. As a result, our March meeting featuring Kathleen Y'Barbo-Turner has been rescheduled until September 2020.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We care very deeply about our members and want everyone to stay healthy. Please continue checking our Facebook Page, e-mail, and this blog for information on upcoming events. We can still meet and hear from our guest speakers online and have been working to make that come to fruition. This past Saturday, April 4th we successfully hosted our very first online, ZOOM meeting. A big THANK YOU goes out to Linda Kozar, Janice Thompson, and Kathleen Y'Barbo-Turner for making this a success!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<b>ACFW The Woodlands Chapter</b> welcomes author, speaker, Aaron Zook to present at our January 11th meeting. Aaron will speak on the topic, Research, A Love-Hate Relationship.<br />
<br />
Aaron asks the question, have you ever wrestled with research to make your book's subject, emotions, and characters authentic to your readers? Aaron will help you identify what kind of research works for you - and what doesn't.<br />
<br />
He will discuss four typical reasons people hate research, then provide four reasons why some writers love research. After exploring these areas, Aaron reveals ten different ways to research and make the process fun!<br />
<br />
The result? Research that will kindle the fire of creativity and fill the vacuum of knowledge you need to masterfully paint with passionate prose.<br />

see that our writing is a gift we want to give others. Then we can look at a
book launching as a gift we want to share with friends. We never know who may

will they ever know?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
