Table for ten, please.

My Wednesday night writing workshop is certainly growing by leaps and bounds. Our group went from four to three to Joanie and I staring across the table at each other going hmmm...what next? How would we advertise to form the writing group that we both wanted (and needed) to help us stay on track (Joanie) or to find a track to stay on (yep, that would be me.) Finally, through Craig's List and visits to local libraries and coffee shops, we were fortunate to find our Jenn, Kat and Alisonn. A few weeks of strong female bonding (and Starbuck's coffee) cemented us as a group of five committed women writers who were all moving towards the same goal of publication (and finishing, or in my case, starting projects.) . Last week we were joined by Dave, Chris, Tom, Zack and Tim and we found ourselves in a negotiation over meeting dates and submission deadlines. Thankfully, Chris and Tim are fellow poets and I am looking forward to speaking a common language with them. Tim mailed me several of his poems and I must say he is quite talented and a great resource for us all. I'm excited to be moving forward once again. Now, what was all that Venus and Mars talk about? Welcome to the Walnut Street Writers, guys!
