We’ve survived power outages, earthquakes, devil winds, fire, smoke-filled air, and the violence of news–for the time being! I’m grateful for our writer’s coping gifts: books, fictional worlds, moving essays, poetry,  pen, paper, computers, language to process it all, and most importantly, each other’s brave hearts. Lakeshore Writers has remained a bright, literary corner of my life through this crazy year. Thank you for the gift of your creative mind, your compassionate soul, and your powerful language. NOW…

IT’S TIME TO PARTY!

Thursday evening December 5th, 6:30-9:00 p.m.
Join me and your fellow Lakeshore Writer friends for merry-making, catching up, commiseration, tips and news for our writing lives, storytelling and general frivolity!

Let me know if you’ll be coming.
I hope to see you, but if not, I wish you all the best in your writing practice and a very restorative holiday season, with slices of solitude in which to write, to breathe, and count blessings. Enjoy!

Remember: family gatherings are great opportunities to observe and record feelings, expressions, and body language. Take a notebook!

Don’t forget: what doesn’t kill us gives us material!
