Dancer...silly goose thinks she can edit life! Duh...

Some people are wacko, alright!

Today, for instance, a dancer I caught on HD Video in a performance last year at a Nightclub in Beverly Hills contacted me with a bizarre request without batting-an-eye.

Obviously, the silly goose hasn't any little grey cells in her pretty little head.

In a short e-mail communication, she asked that I delete her name from the credits, because she was trying to edit her performances so that only her best work would be listed on searches on the Internet.

Duh!

Does this nervy little broad honestly think that she can edit life?

Just imagine, if that suddenly became the case, scandal ridden dudes like Tiger Woods and what's his name (Bullock's hubbie) would be scrambling for blemish control at all the major news outlets around the Nation fast-and-furious.

If it dawned on someone one day that the scandals appeared to have vanished into thin air - along the lines of the plot twist on Dallas years ago - the high-profile bad boys could simply assert that it must have all  been a bad dream.

Sometimes the gall (and stupidity) of folks is astounding, don't 'ya think?

Send me no flowers!

Greater Los Angeles Writer's Society...Beyond the Draft panel discussion. October 18th!.

Calling all writers!

Professional editors and writers from the Greater Los Angeles Writer's Society are holding a panel discussion on Saturday October 18th which is open to all writers and the general public.

"Beyond the Draft (The Final Art of Editing a Novel)" will be a focus on how to turn a writer's rough draft into a masterpiece worthy of publishing.

"Every writer knows the first draft of anything from a short story to an epic novel needs polishing," one panelist noted in the teaser which arrived by e-mail this past week.

Is the whole process "part luck" and "part Voodoo"?

Find out for yourself.

The program commences at 3 p.m.

The Greater Los Angeles Writers Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to mentoring writers on all levels in the craft of writing, providing continuing education, and a forum for the marketing of their work.

This mission is in concert with the California Writers Club founded in 1909 by Jack London.

The "greater" refers to the general geographic area where most of the members are located - and not to any claims of "grandness" - their promo for the event joked.

In fact, the association not only welcomes writers from all over Southern California, but all kinds of 'em as well.

They extend their reach from aspiring students to best-selling authors, from industry professionals, to a dabbler in the throes of learning their craft.

Their motto is a simple straightforward one.

"Writers mentoring writers of all disciplines."

GLAWS holds monthly informative meetings - and on occasion - Nationally-known guest speakers turn up to share their expertise.

But, the association also manages critique groups, offers advice in the craft and business of writing, conducts special events (including writers conferences and seminars), and promotes its vision through many business and social opportunities.

General Meetings of the Greater Los Angeles Writer Society are typically held the third Saturday of the month, ten times a year, except during December and August or July when the society holds a picnic or party.

General meetings are held at the Palms-Rancho Park Library in the Ray Bradbury Room.
