Writers' Night Out Sometimes We Work - Sometimes We Play
This Thursday, we will have a group discussion/tutorial on the writing software, Scrivener. This very affordable program is a writer's dream.
Bring your laptop and get started with a free 30-day trial. Learn some tricks your fellow writers use. If you don't use a laptop, look on with a fellow writer and cheer him on.
We will have another organic, veggie, gluten-free soup. The eating starts at 5 pm with discussion to follow.
And on January 30, MOVIE NIGHT with Midnight in Paris a WONDERFUL movie for writers. Soup at 5 and then the movie.
NEW Writing Circle Forming in NWA
We have enough students now to have a writing circle in the Fayetteville-to-Bentonville area. Laurie Reichart will be the facilitator and Alison will Skype in. We will try to find a central location for everyone. If you are interested in joining this new group, contact Laurie at lreichart@hotmail.com.
Some of the 21 writers who gathered to eat veggie chili and hear Darren and Jonathan at Writers' Night Out.
Every week, a different program.
We have fun getting ready for Thursday nights!
