Creative Writers Club

In eager anticipation of clubhouses opening, the Creative Writers’ Club will resume meetings in June.

It’s a fresh start with renewed enthusiasm, as well as a fine time for new members to join. Everyone is welcome. Members listen to readings, share advice and their own works, and generally encourage all writers in their craft. “Where else can you find a group of people interested in what you write—poetry, short stories, nonfiction life experiences, play script, that unfinished novel tucked away in your bedside drawer, etc.?” asks club president Fred Wind.

For anyone worried their works are not “good enough,” Wind assures that no writer ever thinks his or hers is. “We all wonder if our stuff could improve,” he says. “In fact, Ernest Hemingway wrote 47 different endings to ‘A Farewell to Arms’ before settling on ‘After a while, I went out and left the hospital and walked back to the hotel in the rain.’” Those with a desire to express themselves through written words should contact Wind via email at fredwilmawind@gmail. com. “We love to share with other creative people,” he says. “We love to wonder at their gifts of expression, of observation, reflection and imagination. Help us celebrate your talents.”

The club intends to resume meeting once a month; the place, day and time will be announced in future editions of LW Weekly.

Inthemeantime,Windencourages all to start writing. “Sharpen that pencil—get the point?”
