Writer’s Group In Walpole

Barbara Dretzin sent this inoformation regarding a Writer’s Group.  Sounds like fun.  The idea of a deadline makes a lot of sense to me since I can find lots of ways to procrastinate – sometimes, even going as far as washing windows! – Lil

Do you like to write, but feel you have no audience?  Do you have personal stories to tell, perhaps stories about your childhood or other events that your family would like to know?  Stories you’ve meant to write down but have never gotten around to?

You sound like an ideal member of Writing It Down, a group of non-professional writers who meet monthly to share their work.  There is no teacher – just an appreciative exchange, with feedback when you want it.   We’ve written and heard about a wide range of life experiences from a childhood in Europe, to a terrifying trip up the cog railway on Mt. Washington, to just life and times in Walpole.  We find having a monthly deadline a helpful incentive to write, and enjoy hearing, and are often inspired by, what others have written.
Please join us at the Walpole Library on the 3rd Saturday of each month at 10:00 am – 11:30. Bring paper, pen or your laptop, and any writing you have done. Our next meetings will be on October 19th and November 16th.
For information call: Walpole Library: 603-756-9806, or just come.

Maddie-all about me

Uncle!

I tried to keep up to date with the happenings of the week ahead but I have lost the ability to keep on top of the calendar.  (If I can keep my calendar current I am lucky.)  I have to confess that the best I can do is put the information out here and you have to add to your own calendar as you see something that interests you.  Fair enough?  – Lil
