Like sunrise, it glows with possibilities, yesterday wiped clean, and things starting over. That must be why I love early mornings—the promise of “today’s a new day” always makes me smile. And this year, 2010, this new decade, is ripe with potential—for making new friends, meeting new people, learning and growing as writers. As incoming president of SouthWest Writers, I’d like to share some of the possibilities of 2010. During the last couple of months, I’ve sat down with each and every board member and discussed my vision of SWW—the future. What I’m envisioning is community involvement with other writing groups, in-state as well as out-of-state. Involving our local bookstores, in- dependent as well as chain, to be a part of us and for us to recognize their efforts to keep the written word alive, is high on my “to do” list. And to visit our libraries, reach out to them, and let them know we’re here, is right up there, too. A huge thank you to Rob Spiegel and Larry Greenly is not nearly adequate enough, but will have to do. Working tirelessly, they have prodded and guided the SouthWest Writers herd around stands of prickly pear, through sand storms, and across raging rivers. They’ve dealt President with nasty outlaws, tough biscuits, and hombres who… Oh wait, that’s another story. I di- gress. Rob and Larry’s leadership deserves a hearty handshake and unending applause. Melody Groves I look forward to leading SouthWest Writers, and am excited about what I see. I’ve got a won- derful group of board members in place, and they’re ready to step up and make things hap- pen. I’m truly blessed by their professionalism and friendship. Yep. New Years has always been my favorite holiday.
