From Lupe Gonzalez:
The SOCIETY OF LATINO AND HISPANIC WRITERS OF SAN ANTONIO celebrated its 5th Anniversary on July 13 at Barnes & Noble, San Pedro Crossing. Our founder, Ruben Soto, could not be present. However, he sent a letter filled with congratulations to the group as a whole, and gratitude, especially to the founding members – Vincent Bosquez and Lupe Gonzalez.
Our special guest was Diana Lopez, who introduced her newest book, CONFETTI GIRL, a coming of age story in the Young Adult genre. The author read from her book and answered questions.
Some of the “words of wisdom” she shared:
“Writing is discovery.”
This was in answer to the question of whether or not she planned out her stories.
Lopez started writing in a journal in 1980, “my complaints”, she said with a smile. She stopped journaling until 1985. This time she wrote “comebacks”. You know, those wonderful words that you’d have said to someone, but they come to you two hours later? Soon after this, she began to turn the little things in life into stories. She encouraged everyone, specifically aspiring writers, to journal.
The Society is now a non-profit organization and we foresee many good things to come. Please join us on the second Monday of every month at 7:30 p.m., at the Barnes and Noble, San Pedro Crossing. Our meetings are free and open to the public.
