Westfield Writers Group Drop in or register via the OWWN Guide.

February prompt: Write about something that you find truly delightful. Newly fallen snow, puppies, babies, music, walking in the rain. What is your delight?
Westfield Writers Group is for 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.
Contact librarian@wwpl.lib.in.us to be put on the email list for the next prompt.
