The Writers' Group Meeting

Today I was fortunate enough to join Chuck in the bi-monthly life story writers group meeting. It was way more than I expected.

First, Phyllis, the hostess, provided a scrumptious brunch of Molded Sausage and scrambled eggs, Orange Juice, Wonderful artisan bread, fruit, whole cranberry sauce (which goes very nicely with scrambled eggs!)and little fruit tarts with lots of coffee; the 'boys' Don, Pete and Chuck entertained with their joking antics.





After stuffing our faces, we settled in the living room and chatted a bit and then got down to our life story topic business. Each of us read our personally prepared life story essays and then discussed the content and structure.

What I find amazing, once you start writing, the full experience flows, the heart feels better and the group always can relate in some manner. Some of the content is quite personal and emotional and yet the effect is one of acceptance and appreciation for sharing.

Phyllis and Don are chatting about their writing.


Chuck is getting photos for his blog...
We are all chatting about writing in general now that we have all read our contributions for this meeting

Just a great experience.
