Carla receives writing award

Each year, the Fine Arts and Communication Department of Weatherford College (our county community college) conducts an event called "Books 'N Authors 'N All That Jazz". It revolves around a day long book fair, where local authors exhibit their books, and which also features a series of seminars and workshops on many aspects of writing. This year, Carla exhibited both of her published books.

Another component of the event is the Canis Latran Writing Contest. (Canis latran is the binary scientific name of the coyote, the "mascot" of Weatherford College.) It accepts short works in the categories fiction, creative non-fiction, and poetry.

All winning entries are published in an anthology, "Canis Latran", published by the Weatherford College Press.

I'm proud to announce that in this year's competition, Carla received an Editor's Award in Creative Non Fiction for her essay, "Older Women/Younger Men", an autobiographical tale and reflection from her much earlier years ("older" is of course relative). She had originally written it for a writing class in junior college in Dallas, and polished it up for this year's Canis Latran contest.

Here we see Carla receiving her award at the awards ceremony from Linda Bagwell, Director of Communications and Public Relations for Weatherford College, the mastermind of Books 'N Authors 'N All That Jazz.

I'll replace the post deleted when the sneaky "content spammer" thought they could post a nice compliment but embed in it a spamming link!

No big deal, but it gets us back to Carla and Doug, two celebrated creatives we're very, very happy to have in our midst!

So, we get to renew out appreciation of what was and still is a powerful but simple thread, a homily to a great Texan couple!

Salut mes amis!

Asher

Yeah, well done.

Creative writing is a real skill and a great gift.

I see this is several years old so belated congratulations to Carla!
