MrsJanCoxSpeas
Sees Future Writers
Mrs. Jan Cox Speas, author of
“The Bride of the McHugh,” visit
ed Mr. L. W. Anderson’s creative
writing class at Senior High School
during second period on April 20.
A very informal discussion was
held, during which students were
free to ask questions about the
field of writing.
Mrs. Speas, a resident of Greens
boro who engages in various types
of writings, sold her first story at
the age of 18. Her first novel, “The
Bride of the McHugh,” was about
Scotland. Research for this novel
took about four months. It has
been translated and printed in
several different languages. She
is now working- on another book,
using Scotland as a background
also’, but there are no connections
between the plots of the two books.
Questions concerning various
types and styles of writing were
asked of Mrs. Speas by members
of the class. When asked if she
wrote just when she was in the
mood for writing, she replied, “No
matter what style writing you
choose, it is necessary that you do
not slack up in your work. You
cannot write only when you feel
like it. You must make yourself
write whether you feel like it or
not.” She has discovered that some
of her best writing has been dohe
when she was in no mood to write.
