COMMUNITY WRITING


WRITER'S BLOCK? WORK IN PROGRESS? TOO MANY REJECTION SLIPS? We know the feelings. We are a group of published and unpublished authors helping each other to polish the craft of good prose. We meet the first and third Sunday of every month to read short pieces derived from assignments or to critique longer manuscripts such as original short stories, novels, autobiographies, memoirs, and those indefinable paragraphs that have stopped growing. Anyone interested in joining us can call the Arts Council at 425-1085 or Jane Hyatt at 454-8329 to leave a phone number for a return call. -Jane Hyatt, writer and artist
