Whether you are a seasoned storyteller or a novice writer we welcome you to join us with your creative ideas and stories yet to be written. Once a narrative begins to germinate it must be told, regardless of the genre; a memoir, autobiography, travelogue, short story, a play, novella, A.I. or a yarn you heard from your Grandpa or Grandma years ago, all are promising starters. Our small group setting will offer confidentiality,  encouragement and constructive feedback.

Our life stories shape us.  Writing our stories enables us to reflect on and recognize some of the important directions of our lives.  At each session, we provide a prompt/theme as a possible starting point for your next story submission. Stories are shared by email and we respond to each other’s stories. The responses are brought to the next meeting and discussed.  Our intent is to learn from each other, encourage each other and have some fun along the way. As time permits, in each session we also do a short free fall writing exercise. 

Facilitators: Terry Lende and Pat Hogan
