So, you like to read, but what you really want to do is write?

Come join us every first and third Wednesday of the month, from 4:00-5:00, in room 204 on the second floor. Be sure to bring paper, pen, and your imagination, and we provide the refreshments! (Next meetings: May 3rd, May 17th, June 7th, June 21st.)

We'll go over things that help make up the guts of good stories--- do you have flat characters? Difficulty with dialogue? Does your story have a saggy middle? Or have you just written yourself into a corner? With discussion and exercises, you'll be able to get past whatever's got you blocked on your story.

We'll also have a chance to share our writing with each other and give feedback. If you're not sure you're conveying ideas clearly; if you know your story can be better, but you're not quite sure where it needs fixing; or if you just want constructive critiques from someone who's not your mom or your best friend, this will be a great group to share with!

If you want your work critiqued, be sure to bring copies of it to the meeting on the first Wednesday. That way, everyone will have time to read it and comment on it at the third Wednesday meeting.

Call Deanna Baran at 940-720-0868 x244 for more details, or join our mailing list if you have difficulty making the meetings!
