Charlotte and Jane lead off 2014 Writer's Circle.
The Writer’s Circle – a dynamite year ahead for writers and
lovers of literature.
I got a call from Irene Warmenhoven who told me about some
of the recent events planned for the Writer’s Circle.
First, The Writer’s Circle meets on the last Wednesday of
every month (except December) at the Waverley Library at 7 pm. Open to all and all welcome.
Last month Hugh McDonald dropped in to talk about self
publishing and Irene spoke about those two beloved literary heavyweights,
Charlotte Bronte and Jane Austen.
At the next meeting, on October 29 (Waverley 7 pm) the group
will collaborate on a mystery story to be called “Framed for Murder” an art
gallery who-done-it. Picture this. Participants are asked to bring in a couple
of paragraphs describing a character who could appear in such a story and from
there, the plot thickens! Come prepared to show your Jekyll and Hyde creative
side. Judy Greencorn will be along to discuss plot and character in general
terms.
November is the Christmas Pot Luck. Please bring nibblies.
(no hot dishes please).
January: We learn how to write a magazine article.
February: Tentatively set to look at the art of critiquing
with Joan Baril.
Stay tuned for dates for the November, January and February
meetings. All at Waverley. 7 pm.
Unfortunately, Writer’s Circle member and organizer, Keith
Johnson has had to drop out because of ill health. Please, get well Keith. You
have done so much for the group. Also,
poet and poetry maven Paul Gooding, who has given so many interesting workshops
on poets ranging from Tennyson to Alan Ginsberg, will not be able to continue
his workshops this year due to pressures of work. Thanks for the memorable
evenings, Paul.
