After a creative writing class 3 years ago at the story studio a group of us didn't want to loose the connection of familiarity and trusted ears that we'd acquired during the class so we decided to continue meeting after class. At first we did rather well getting together monthly but we didn't maintain that for too long. We met on a week night and then on Saturday mornings and then back to week nights. Now it seems that we can only find a date that works for all of us seasonally. Today I hosted the group for the first time in my new apartment.
It always takes us a good hour or so to catch up on each other's news before we settle down to do writing exercises and workshop each other's work. I couldn't pull a more electic group together if I tried in age and backgrounds. But we all write. We all travel. We are all dynamic, open curious women. The reunion today energized and inspired me. There are great things ahead for each of us.
