Few thoughts about OWCS in 2025.
This might be unpopular opinion in top teams, but max 7 player rosters are good thing. It's not so costly for organizations. Ofcourse it means, that players have to really know how to play all of their role's heroes.

Looking for fellow #oklahomaauthors and #owfi members here on @bsky.app. Where are my #oklahomies?
What do humans do that animals don't? We tell stories. I believe this makes humans human. -@PatrickRothfuss #owfi
Tease your audience with an expectation, then sell them on giving them what YOU want. -@PatrickRothfuss #owfi
If you can find out what people expect from a story, you can NOT give it to them. That's the best kind of story. -@PatrickRothfuss #owfi
As soon as you give someone what they want in a story, they lose interest. -@PatrickRothfuss #owfi
:-) MT @malenalott: Pic w/amazing @janefriedman. So happy to hear her in person at #owfi: http://instagram.com/p/Y3Sq0UQVTP/
How ebook price impacts units sold, from @markcoker's data at @Smashwords #owfi http://t.co/vaRraU8mnK
At #owfi @markcoker rightly characterizing Author Solutions as "blood-sucking parasites." Disappointing that a trad. publisher acquired it.
Just arrived in Oklahoma City where I'm speaking at #owfi writers conference: http://owfi.org
It's more like a dessert bar than an espresso bar. Yikes! http://twitpic.com/1kb0tm #owfi
Little secret: I pick at my desserts. http://twitpic.com/1k4idj (Also not a big fan of cake, cheesecake, or chocolately desserts.) #owfi
Agent Getzler: Wants confident writer w/sophisticated & clean style who can quickly engage reader & convey overarching story quickly. #owfi
In your query letter, don't claim to be better than another very popular or bestselling author. #owfi #pubtip
Agent Getzler: Likes to see in query indication/proof that you've done yr homework & know yr work is good fit for him. #owfi #pubtip
Lunch at County Line BBQ in Oklahoma City! http://twitpic.com/1k0dqa #owfi
Stabenow: Biggest impact on book sales? E-newsletters (that she sends herself to readers who have subscribed to get updates). #owfi
Stabenow: Online book trailers have not paid off or led to sales; she will probably not put effort into any others. #owfi
Stabenow [OWFI keynote]: My whole purpose here tonight is to persuade you of the necessity of an online presence. #owfi
Stabenow's first book promo campaigns were event-driven/travel-driven. She now stays at home & does everything online. #owfi
Stabenow: Spend as much money as you can on your own book promotional campaign. (Not that hard or expensive.) #owfi
Biggest regret @thewritermama has from her first book release: not hiring a publicist. #owfi
Work with a publicist at least once - you'll learn a ton! (Next project, maybe you can do things on your own.) - @thewritermama #owfi
Writers must know what their message is (and "get" the conversation) to be meaningful contributor & community member - @thewritermama #owfi
