 trong></p>\n<p>I've always been fascinated by the "a-ha" moment - that ins
 tant when a writer finds an idea they want to pursue further. Tonight's di
 scussion will provide writers with new strategies for igniting their creat
 ive spark. This conversation will serve as a preview for topics that we'll
  delve deeper into during my 9/21 workshop\; I'll conclude the talk with s
 uggestions for how to prepare for that class.</p>\n<p><strong>Christopher 
 Boucher</strong>&nbsp\;was born and raised in western Massachusetts\, and 
 he received his MFA in Creative Writing from Syracuse University in 2002. 
 He currently teaches writing and literature at Boston College\, where he a
 lso serves as Managing Editor for&nbsp\;<em>Post Road Magazine</em>. Chris
  is the author of the novels&nbsp\;<em>How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive</
 em>&nbsp\;(Melville House\, 2011)\,&nbsp\;<em>Golden Delicious</em>&nbsp\;
 (Melville House\, 2016)\, and&nbsp\;<em>Big Giant Floating Head</em>&nbsp\
 ;(a 2019 Massachusetts Book Award Fiction Honors Selection). He's also the
  editor of Jonathan Lethem's&nbsp\;<em>More Alive and Less Lonely: On Book
 s and Writers</em>&nbsp\;(Melville House\, 2017).</p>\n<p><strong>Central 
 Oregon Writers Guild's</strong>&nbsp\;mission is to provide Central Oregon
  area writers a forum for mutual support and education through meetings\, 
 annual events and workshops. Our goal is to advance growth and success for
  individual writers of all genres and skill levels. Founded in 2002\, the 
 Guild is a non-profit organization\, run entirely by volunteers.</p>\n<p>G
 uild meetings take place on a monthly basis\, where we feature guest speak
 ers\, panels\, member readers and small group interaction\, with topics of
  interest to writers at all skill levels. Meetings are free and open to th
 e public.</p>\n<p>Questions? Contact beccar@dpls.lib.or.us\, 541-312-1063<
