Writers Group

**************************

Join Us First Mondays

at 7:00 pm

"I am not a professional writer. I am not a published writer. I'm just a person who likes to put my thoughts and memories on paper. I joined this group hoping I wouldn't be intimidated, hoping I might get some constructive criticism from people who know more about the craft than I, thinking I might be inspired to write a bit more often. And do you know what happened? I felt welcome, I benefited from other's ideas, and I write far more frequently. There is a place for you no matter what sort of writer you are. Please consider joining us." ~~~ Dorothy H.
