This weekly event, open to everyone, is a chance to exercise your writing muscles each week. Using a word or phrase as a prompt, we all write for 10-20 minutes, then read our work aloud. After everyone has read, we do it again, then again, for two hours. We do not critique each other's work, but we do listen and provide recall. Curious? Come join us!
