Next Meeting

OK gang, next Thursday the 25th of January will the be the next meeting of the Writers Club. This week, please be sure to bring something to read. Bring something that you wrote or something someone else wrote. You can read anything from Zelazny to the Book of Amos or something your grandmother wrote back in finishing school. I want to emphasize my desire for everyone to bring something to read. We haven't had a lot of original writing recently so I would very much like to see you, at the very least, bring in a piece of writing that you love and would like to share with the room.

Catch a Glimpse

Hey look! A picture of Harper Lee! I don't like it when stories like this call her "reclusive." I do not believe Harper Lee is reclusive. I think she is more like Sandy Koufax and just wants to be left alone by reporters. Why does that have to mean reclusive in our world? Imagine, someone not chasing celebrity. What an oddball.

Has everyone here read "To Kill a Mockingbird?" I didn't read it until I was in my early 30's and it's definitely a book that I will read again. Everyone should read it once. It will stay with you forever.
