Monthly Fiction Writer's Workshop

This workshop is designed for those who enjoy writing short fiction. Led by published writers, each session will include a facilitated discussion of one or more of the critical ingredients of fiction writing along with the opportunity to share, review and discuss individual group members' writing. The workshop is based on the concept that feedback from peers can contribute to a writers' confidence and creativity. The goal is to build writing skills and help one another to strengthen things like story lines and character development.

If you enjoy writing and have a creative bent our monthly meetings will inspire you to dig deeper. You will spend time with other writers, some published, some not, all whom, regardless of their level experience, want to exchange ideas with other writers, and by doing so, improve their own craft.  As an example, we will work on character development, story content, writing convincing dialog and the importance of Show-don't tell.

Have A Love Affair With Travel: Your Ticket to an Exhilarating Life NEW!

Dr. Evelyn Kelly and her daughter, Natalie, have been traveling since 1993. Since then, they have traveled to seven continents, eighty-eight countries and fifty states. To share their amazing life journeys with everyone, Dr. Kelly and Natalie co-wrote a book called Have a Love Affair with Travel: Your Ticket To An Exhilarating Life.

Join this presentation and hear a bit about the places they have visited, the stories they have to tell, and a few tips and tricks to others about travel. They will give their definition of the difference between a tourist and traveler, and also a few tidbits of becoming a smart traveler, not just a casual tourist.

The Death of Ivan Ilyich

Mortality is a subject many would rather avoid. Leo Tolstoy's novella "one of he most lacerating works of literture ever written, a hard, pitiless stare into the abyss, not just of death, but of human nature" allows us breathing room to investigate it through one man an how he faces dying and those close to him.

Reading the book is a prerequisite for the class discussion. This is not a lecture. The book can be purchased online for $.99 and may be free on some sites.
