Hello all. I thought I would post my thoughts about this organization. I am not sure if other members can look at my profile so I will do a very brief bio. I am a published writer as well as a professional story editor and creative consultant. I am a partner in crime with Victor Phan and Torture Chamber Productions. This past Saturday, because of circumstances involving furniture(don't ask), I found myself attending the OCSWA board meeting. Not a board member and feeling like the odd man out I kept my mouth shut for most of the meeting making only cursory comments or a couple of suggestions that seemed to be well received. At least I think so. Maybe they were being gracious in not telling me to shut my piehole. What I wanted to share was how impressed I was by the passion and enthusiasm shared by those in attendence, especially Mark. This organization and website has the potential to be a huge resource to OC's aspiring writers. It deserves the time, energy, and commitment by those pledged to give that, and the heartfelt thanks of those who will reap the rewards. I just wanted to say "Thank You" to those board members who were there for Saturday's meeting.
