March 26, 2013 by pfeifer

Are you looking for an organization for writers to help improve your skills, network with other writers, and advance your writing career? Then take a look at our directory of Writers Organizations. We have compiled a comprehensive list of organizations and clubs for various writing specialties and for regional groups.

If you belong to a group that we did not list or if you know of someone we have left out, please let us know so we can update our directory. The most current list will always be found on the Writers Organizations page. However, the complete list of organizations as of today is also included below in this post.

The Greatest Lawyer Jokes of All Time still in print

Yesterday morning an acquaintance said she wished she knew where to find a good lawyer joke book for her boyfriend, a law school student. As luck would have it, I knew just the book to recommend. (Note: see FTC Notice). In 2007, I published a small book of lawyer jokes called The Greatest Lawyer Jokes […]

Yellowstone/Grand Teton Review, Day 7 – Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel, Mammoth Springs Dining Room, Albright Visitor’s Center, and Stops on the Way to Signal Mountain Lodge

Although the Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel was quiet during the night, the hallways were rather noisy in the morning. This was not due to unruly guests, but due to the hotel’s design. The hallways are long and solidly built, but with high ceilings and widely spaced walls. The tunnel effect seemed to amplify sounds, making […]

Yellowstone/Grand Teton Review, Day 11 – Leaving Town and Sitting on Planes

The only direct flight from Jackson Hole Airport to Atlanta was at 8:00 a.m. Normally this would not be difficult at a small airport in a small town. However, the staff at Dollar Rent A Car said we needed to be at the car rental office before 5:30 am at the very latest to return our […]

Yellowstone/Grand Teton Review, Day 8 – Signal Mountain Lodge, Colter Bay Village, Ranchhouse Restaurant, Jackson Lake, Donoho Point, Elk Island

After a night of deep sleep at Signal Mountain Lodge, I awoke early and enjoyed the quiet of the morning. While it is fairly easy to hear through the walls, everyone was either sleeping or trying to be polite. I went to get coffee from the barista at their general store, which was about the […]

Rappin’ for Jesus – Church Video Fails – ‘Jesus Christ is my Nigga’

Given the rapid decline of young people interested in church or formal religious services, I understand why some ministers would look for creative ways to keep church youth interested in the program. Here’s a tip: rapping for Jesus is not the way for a white middle-aged pastor to reach young people. At least not in […]

Ignore this post, we are just kicking the tires of the design

Image via Wikipedia This is a test post to kick the tires of our new website, which is still under development. We are working on the design to implement graphics, video, images, and advertisements (we gotta pay for it somehow). Once it is completed, we hope to be informative, controversial, sometimes offensive, occasionally funny, and […]

Yellowstone/Grand Teton Vacation Review, Day 3 – Jackson Lake Lodge, Stargazing, and Colter Bay Village (CBV) Dinner Wagon Ride

Day 3 of our trip started late because we had stayed up so late stargazing. The view of the night sky over Grand Teton from Jackson Lake Lodge is simply staggering. To get the full effect, you will need to stay up very late. It is also helpful to download one of the astronomy apps […]

Scriptwriting Software – Writing a Script for a Movie, Play, or Television Show

Writing a script for a movie, play, or television show is very different than writing a novel, especially when it comes to the formatting of the pages. The process can be challenging and tedious when using just a regular word processor, but a good scriptwriting program can make formatting a script much easier. To help […]

Misleading Government Headlines on Bankruptcy Report

Yesterday the Administrative Office for the U.S. Courts released a report entitled Growth in Bankruptcy Filings Slows in Calendar Year 2010. At first glance, one might be lead to believe that meant that bankruptcy filings had gone down in 2010. While this would be the desired political result of a government that wants people to think […]
