Farmington Writers Circle at KSJE Fun Run

Today, four members of the Farmington Writers Circle participated in the KSJE (local public radio) 0-mile Fun Run.  The Fun Run is an annual fund-raiser supporting KSJE radio 90.9 FM. Participants walk/run over an easy downhill course of 27 feet on the San Juan College campus commons area.  For $20 on the day of the run, each participant receives a T-shirt, doughnut or two, and water.

Some Thoughts on Using Facebook for Publicity

For some time, I have been tinkering with a way to generate publicity for my posts on Facebook personal page.  When deciding who to request to be a friend, I look at two criteria.

Update From Roberta Summers on Writers Circle Meeting, May 9, 2019

Last night, we held the May meeting of the Writers Circle.  Patty Tharp read from her chapbook The Lost Communities of Navajo Dam, Volume 1: Los Martinez, published by the San Juan County Historical Society.  It was a fascinating look into local history.  This is the first of a series telling the histories of the families along the San Juan River, community by community, who lost their homes to…

Over the weekend I completed the first draft of the text for a children’s book, which I first conceived over ten years ago while living on the Gulf coast.  It has roughly 1,350 words.  I have written it for kids around first to second grades, and it is entitled Bobby the Brown Pelican.  It is about a young pelican who is afraid to dive into the water to catch fish.  His dad…

Thoughts on the Value of Short Stories

Phil Slattery, 2015

I have seen several comments on television shows that no one has made money on publishing short stories since probably the days of Hemingway.  I don’t know how true this is, but I know that, except for the most professional and most competitive, very few markets pay very much for a short story.  You can find this out by researching pay in the Writers Market or using Duotrope.…
