Hi everyone, just a reminder that we’ll be meeting on Saturday, Jan. 7th, at 10:30 at the Waconia Library. This is no ordinary meeting because…….

Its also our anniversary!  Our first meeting was Jan. 5th, 2013. Congratulations to us and four years of wonderful writing.

Personally I’ve been in a reflective mood lately so I’ll bring a list of prompts from over the years. Any favorites? If you’d like bring your favorite prompt piece, piece of prompt or a piece of pie!

Jillian’s bringing chips and guacamole, I’ll bring something I haven’t decided on yet so there will be snacks and celebration besides sharing writing. 

Hope to see you there!
