January 17, 2026

Our next program is on January 17th, and it will be great. We’ll meet back at the Edward Davis Room on the 9th floor of the First Bank Southwest building to hear KJ Waters and Lauren Cassel Brownell offer a program on Second Draft Magic.

Your first draft is simply getting the story down on the page.

Your third draft is for line edits, polishing, and tightening.

But the second draft?
That’s where the magic happens.

In this interactive workshop, KJ Waters and Lauren Cassel Brownell will explore how to get out of your own way, trust your inner voice, and create real magic as you write. 

KJ Waters is the bestselling author of the Stealing Time series & owner of KJ Waters Consultancy. 

Lauren Cassel Brownell crafts both fiction and non-fiction and specializes in using writing as a tool for becoming happier and healthier.


Reminder: January is the perfect time to pay your THPW dues. Only $40 will get you lots of great programs about writing, discounted book booth opportunities, anthology publishing opportunities, and more. Please attend and become an active member of Texas High Plains Writers.
