Spring arrives and we find that we are invigorated, energized, and  renewed.  Our days may be filled with sunshine, dripping with rain, and battered  with high winds, but we can feel change in the air and perhaps our writing may have been inspired by all this new energy.  This month we find ourselves   enchanted by a song story, exhilarated by the ocean, and seasonal changes, intrigued by two”feather” tales, and finally found that writing a short story in only  200 words is a challenge achievable.

Our meeting with MIchael Czarnecki and Steve Coffman has been slightly rescheduled.  It will take place on TUESDAY, JULY 16th instead of the  17th. These two talented gentlemen will offer a writing workshop in the afternoon and a reading in the evening.  Additional information will follow.

Our next meeting date will be Wednesday, June 19th at the library at 1:30. All are always welcome.

Our next assignment:  Perhaps you might try to write a tale related to  a song title.  There are many to choose from, so this could be an interesting meeting in June.  We could end up singing a few tunes together.

In order to avoid scheduling our open mic poetry reading during a concert at the Indian Lake Theater, (why does everything happen at once????) we have rescheduled our  poetry reading and creative writing/non fiction  workshop with Michael Czarnecki and Steve Coffman to TUESDAY, July 16.  Stay tuned for details- the summer still seems pretty far in the future.

This event will be free and open to the public and writers of all ages and abilities. We hope you will mark your calendar!

The Friends of the Library have changed their meeting date from Thursday to Tuesday afternoons at the library. All welcome to the next Friends of the Library meeting on Tuesday, June 4 at 4:00 PM at the library

Another month, and another positive experience sharing our stories.  No matter whether we tackle memoir, fiction, or even
poetry, our writing represents who we are and mirrors how we view the world. We are happy to announce that Michael Czarnecki and Steve Coffman plan to offer a Writers’ Workshop on July 17 at our usual monthly meeting time.  Michael and Steve have been offering their expertise to all who have attended their fruitful workshops for more than ten years. We look forward to another opportunity to glean writing tips from each of them.

Our writers were hard at work this month.  Our suggested assignment was Shore Stories.Continue reading→

On the first day of spring we notice piles of snow, and wind, and
winter.  It was mentioned that last year on this very day we had 81 degrees.  The
one thing we must accept in life seems to be change and our weather
provides all of the change we can absorb.  But, signs of spring surround us.  We hear calls of the geese as they return, and the days are lengthening.  Blue skies and warm weather will arrive.  Life is stirring and when the snow finally melts green buds will be opening and all kinds of life will emerge, singing, buzzing,
calling, and crawling.Over more than ten years that our Writers’ Group has been active we have seen many writers come and go.   Our group expands and contracts and continues to remain healthy and open to one and all. We are always pleased to add new members.  This month we welcomed a new member into our fold
