FOR OUTSTANDING WORK—Nancy Harmon, Wichita senior and president of Theta Sigma Phi, presents citation at the Matrix Table dinner for outstanding work in journalism to Kansas newspaperwoman Leota Motz of the Hays Daily News.
'Writing A Probable Career For Housewives'
"Writing is the most probable career for housewives," Susan Kuehn Boyd, fiction writer, told members of Theta Sigma Phi, professional journalism fraternity for women, and their guests at the annual Matrix Table dinner in the Kansas Room of the Kansas Union Wednesday.
"The number of self-supporting free lance writers is small," Mrs. Boyd said. "Many people write and publish but don't manage to keep body and soul together, so they do other things. But whatever occupation he has, the really true writer manages a daily writing schedule. Without daily effort the original drive becomes diffuse and useless."
She said that her previous work on a newspaper had helped her to get ideas, to write when she had no inspiration whatsoever and despite distractions of all kinds.
"Writing itself is a painful process; it is not just writing, but rewriting. It does intrude upon other things, but if you are willing to spend the time it will give added dimensions to your life and to your readers' lives."
Mrs. Boyd said she found that as soon as you are branded a writer in the community you find yourself serving on public relations committees of every civic club and organization.
"The housewife who writes will find that it has its moments of dreaminess' and discouragement as well as those of inspiration and fulfillment," she said. "All that is needed to be successful is perseverance and an understanding husband."
Also at the dinner Nancy Harmon, Wichita senior and president, presented the citation for outstanding Kansas Newspaperwoman and columnist to Mrs. Leota Motz of the Hays Daily News.
