Westfield Writers Group
February 23 at 1:00 PM
Prompt for February: Write about a moving experience. It can be a personal watershed moment or about the actual task of moving from one place/house to another.
Wanted: Writers or want-to-be writers who have a story or memoir they would like to write, an interest in different styles of writing, a wish to interact with other writers and a desire to write in a non-judgmental environment.
This is a 'just-for-fun' group. We're not professional writers. The intent is not to teach you to write but to encourage you to write something each month. Prompts are constructed with the hope that you will be inspired to write on a broad range of topics.
Email [email protected] to be put on the email list for meeting reminders and for the writing prompts we will be using each month.
