I apologize for missing our April announcement post here; it's been a crazy time for me with my teaching load, especially all of the MLA research essays coming my way!
We had a lovely meeting with five of us in April. Elaine read several little "ditties" that she had typed into her phone as they came to her. We're encouraging her to submit them to our local monthly publication, The Valley Views, as her thoughts as a relative newcomer to our mountain village are fresh and thought-provoking.
Dianne continued with her mystery novel which is set in a town based on our own Pine Valley, leaving us with quite the cliffhanger! I brought the beginnings of a Pride and Prejudice fanfiction novella to share, and Teresa shared a selection of her poems as well as the first two chapters of her fanfiction novella based on L. Frank Baum's Oz books.
So we'll be meeting next on Tuesday, May 8th in the Community Room of the Pine Valley Library from 7:00 PM to approximately 8:30 PM. Everyone interested in writing and/or publishing their work is encouraged to attend.
Please bring 6-8 copies of a poem or a prose work of fewer than 1500 words to share with the group. But if you haven't written anything to share, please attend to offer feedback to those who are bringing their writings to share.
We hope to see you all on May 8th!!
Writing with you,
