I am very excited about the changes for KWA this year, not that the previous years have been bad. Everything changes over time. Hopefully, the changes help smooth procedures out, help add benefits to members, and help everyone get more comfortable with their fellow authors.
Erin has done a wonderful job creating a new website and blog for KWA. Her time is stretched so thin that we all need to give her a special thank-you. Thank you, Erin!
Please be sure to check back here often for more exciting new things in KWA this year.

Thanks for the shout-out, Starla — you’re very welcome and it’s good to be appreciated! I think we have tremendous energy and momentum on the board this year, and it can only filter out through our wonderfully loyal and creative members.
If there is anything you’d like to see added to the website — a resource, a how-to, anything at all — please leave us a comment here. Here’s to 2011!
We have a lot of fun things coming up! And a lot of work to do. I’m really excited about getting more of an online presence (yeah!) particularly as I seem to spend more and more time on line.
Nice work, Erin! Thank you!
Starla, I’m looking forward to more of your workshops. After listening to you this weekend I’ve concluded that one of the problems I have is my lack of organization – I can’t finish anything because I can’t find anything! And, I’m sure, there are other issues, but that is definitely one of them. You gave me some great ideas.
You asked about anything else to add to the website… Can we get a section for How-to articles on the writing craft? I love having people pointed to my website and writing tools, but I would like to see KWA have its own writing tool articles. I would, of course, share some or you can pull them from my website. But I would really like to see some of our other members post articles that might be useful. We have poets who could share things I would never even know how to research. We have scriptwriters and playwriters who should have their own unique knowledge they could share. And the list goes on.
