This Thursday is the last Creative Writing Workshop for the season.  Julie and I would like to thank everyone for your enthusiasm and willingness to share your work and give positive feedback to others in the workshop.  We’ve really enjoyed facilitating a workshop of such talented (and brave) writers who not only show up no matter what the weather, but bring with them stories that open our minds and hearts to the wonders of the written word and the imagination.  Thank-you!  We hope to see you this Thursday, March 22nd, from 6pm-8pm in the basement of the Seward Community Library  Museum.  Haven’t attended one of our workshops before?  No worries, each workshop is independent of the rest, so bring paper and pencil and come join us—it’s free!  We would also like to thank Patty and the Seward Community Library Museum Staff for providing snacks and coffee/tea for our workshops—thanks guys! Hugs from Joanie & Julie
