<\/h3>\n<\/h3>\nWe have a wonderful meeting lined up for March 17. I\u2019m excited to bring Kim Harris and K.J. Waters to our fair city. Both have years of expertise between them and will share their knowledge.<\/p>\n
Kim Harris will present Adding Humor to Your Writing<\/em> the first hour.<\/p>\n Humor is a multi-tasking powerhouse in your writing. A joke can instantly show characterization, reveal relationships, shift the tension of your plot, deliver a painful truth in an easy-to-swallow way, and even endear you to readers. And what writer doesn’t want to be endeared by their readers?!<\/p>\n Unfortunately, many writers believe that writing\u00a0humor\u00a0is either out of their depth\u2014they’ve been told that\u00a0humor\u00a0is much more difficult to write than drama\u2014or that it has no place in their books.<\/p>\n This presentation will highlight the many ways humor\u00a0can bump up your writing, even if you’re not writing a ‘funny’ book, and she’ll go over some classic tales that have expertly used\u00a0humor\u00a0to memorable effect.<\/p>\n Kim says, \u201cE.B. White once said that\u00a0humor, like frogs, could be dissected, but the thing dies in the process.\u00a0We\u2019re going to dissect some humor, and you will come away with fresh ideas of how to put humor to work in your writing, no matter what you write. No frogs will be harmed.\u201d<\/p>\n For the second half, K.J. Waters will present What I\u2019ve learned as an Indie Author<\/em>.<\/p>\n In this one-hour presentation, KJ Waters will share what she has learned as an Indie author including her secret recipe to becoming an Amazon best-selling author, how she grew her author platform to 50,000 followers, and how to use an integrated social media strategy and author brand to market her work. You don\u2019t want to miss this!<\/p>\n Both of these ladies will provide immeasurable help in getting your career ramped up and racing down the track. Please come out and grab this information while you can. I know you\u2019ll enjoy what Kim and K.J. bring to the table, so make your plans.<\/p>\n * * *<\/p>\n Kim Hunt Harris<\/strong> is Wall Street Journal bestselling author of the Trailer Park Princess cozy mystery comedy series.
