Budding Writers

We ... write to heighten our own awareness of life ...
We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospection ...
we write to be able to transcend our life, to reach beyond it ...
to teach ourselves to speak with others, to record the journey into the labyrinth ...
to expand our world, when we feel strangled, constricted, lonely ...
when I don't write I feel my world shrinking. I feel I lose my fire, my color.
-- Anaïs Nin

December Meeting Photo

The December theme "There but for the grace of God go you or I", produced the usual varied and creative responses. Larissa has the makings of an excellent short story or play demonstrating how the smallest decisions in the past have led to who and where you are today. Pam had a wonderfully entertaining and lighthearted story based around the theme, and Vergil wrote a little poem (already posted here) which tried to illustrate how little control we have over our lives in reality, and how tiny decisions to turn left or right might produce a different life altogether.

We had a little Christmas picnic to celebrate the final meeting for 2006.



Notice that Pam not only had her Christmas Skirt and green top, but had also painted her fingernails and toe nails to match the occasion!



We hope everyone has a great Christmas and New Year. The next get together will be in February 2007 on the 10th. We'll post the details soon. In the meantime, please post more of your writing!
