See the page "dates of meetings" for 2018 posted on our blog.
We're looking forward to a productive and fun year of writing and sharing. The first meeting is on January 2 and one of the pieces members will be sharing is a story/poem/memoir based on these words: dog-eared; rambunctious; crackers; spark; waterfall; stray. We never cease to be amazed at the exciting variety of stories members create from the same list of words!
Keep checking uxbridgewriterscircle.blogspot.ca for samples.
Happy New Year and Happy Writing!
