Writing, the proverbial pen-to-paper sort -though my preference is fingers-to-keyboard- is a way to clear my head and organize my thoughts. In my opinion, it is like music, universally accepted and a group activity. In the local paper I read that there is a writer’s group that meets once-a-month; at the end of the blurb was an email. I sent a note asking if I could join in. I was welcome. The email-answerer said they were usually a group of 4 and the cost involved was for tea/coffee during the 2 hour session. The meeting place is an elegant old world grand cafe. I showed up, this time, pen and paper in hand and found 14 participants. We were self- divided into groups of 4. What a delightful two hours. What a surprise. How good for my language skills. Can’t wait for the next one. Have asked the email person if we can also form a sub-group.
