Toastmaster's message for our July 25th meeting:
Dear Toastmasters 4 Writers members and guests!
What’s inside you?
No, not your heart, lungs, and liver that are a part of your biology. However, that bio unit houses your inner spirit. The essential you.
Our club membership is full of individuals with that inner spirit that forces them to create. And I do mean “force” because those of us with that creative drive have no choice. We wake up in the morning with that first thought, “Ah-ha! I can write a story about….”
Know what I mean?
Okay, we have the creative part. So what do we need next? Discipline. Presto! That is why we joined Toastmasters 4 Writers! In this club, we learn the disciplines of timing, meeting deadlines, and focus. Everything you need to succeed in your work.
Welcome to the club. Now get to work.
