SLO NightWriters meeting Anne Schoeder spoke on “Point of View.” I was extremely impressed by her presentation and her presentation skills. She was very well prepared and a great speaker. Her thorough understanding of the subject made for a educational delight. Even her title was great:

HELP! I’M A PRISONER OF P.O.V.: Understanding P.O.V.

She included a three-page hand-out with her presentation, which I’m going to put into a computer file along with some notes I took; both will be great for future reference.

As a listener, I feel like Anne was able to plant a small P.O.V. seed. With time, her handout and my notes I think that seed will germinate and my writing will improve as I begin to grasp P.O.V. Who knows maybe that seed will grow and grow and point of view will become a oak tree instead of the seed pod of a dandelion plant.

THANK YOU ANNE!
