SATURDAY, april 11, AT 10 AM
AT THE COMMUNITY CHURCH AT JESS RANCH
Jeremy Apodaca
From HDCWC President Mike Apodaca
My background is in theater. I started doing plays in sixth grade and continued
throughout college.
This foundation has made an enormous difference in my life. It helped
me serve as a pastor for nine years. I used my acting skills daily as a public
school teacher for thirty years. It is now the basis of my writing. I imagine
every scene before I write it. In fact, recently I had a friend come to my house
and we mapped out a location in my backyard and choreographed a fight scene
for a book I was finishing, so the scene would be accurately described.
Bob Isbill, before he left us, blessed me with a link to an article on the importance for writers to be actors. I put the link at the bottom of this page. This led me to ask my son, Jeremy Apodaca, a man who’s coached Hollywood actors for years
and directed many productions, to be our speaker for our April meeting and to show us how to use acting to improve our writing.

Jeremy started his drama career playing Hamlet in junior high (he played Hamlet again in college).
Godsend, my YA series of books, were first conceived of by Jeremy. We collaborated
on the first book and I have continued the series.
Come expecting to be stretched and to learn. This meeting might change
the way you visualize the scenes in your books and greatly improve your writing.
