Group photos, Holiday Reading
Every year we suspend the usual critique
rules for a night, and just read each other short stories we've written around a Christmas
theme. Limited to 1,000 words, the best of these stories are featured in our
anthology, One Evening a Year. On that night, we also take the group photo for the
year.
Rockaway group photos
Many Wordos are also members of the
Oregon Writer's Colony; hence we sometimes have retreat weekends up there to focus and
write. Here are two group photos from past weekends.
The Nebulas
Some of our members have been lucky enough to win a Nebula --
the award given by the Science Fiction Writers of America to the best stories or novels
for the year. It's an award from science fiction writers to science fiction writers,
which makes it pretty special. Bruce Holland Rogers' Nebulas are not pictured here,
but hopefully they will be soon.
Wordos Incentive Awards
You can't sell if you don't write, so
we've created our own, internal, award system to motivate Wordos members to produce
stories and workshop them. Here are some happy Wordos with their production awards!
