Description: We are all natural born storytellers; sometimes we just need a little encouragement. Write Now! is a club that will provide an opportunity to share your writing with a small group of other adult writers, get and give valuable feedback, and explore various genres of creative writing. No experience is required; all you’ll need is a willingness to write down and share your stories. Our first session will meet every other week for nine workshop meetings. Because of lingering Covid-19 concerns, we will meet on Zoom for March and April, then reassess future meeting locations. The intention is to create an ongoing community where we can share and support each other's writing. Ages 18+, please register as space is limited: https://bit.ly/sblibWriteNow2022
