One week ago today, a dear Facebook friend (*waves madly at Lorraine*) posted a link on my wall. It detailed a local writers’ night, happening (by New Hampshire standards) right down the road from me. Since I didn’t have much time to ponder, I avoided talking myself out of it, so last Wednesday I made the fifteen minute trek and hung out with my own kind for a glorious pair of hours. By the end of the evening, I was nostalgic for the writing group I created in Raymond, back in 2008 –
August 29. 2008 – Raymond library’s open-mike night resounding hit
November 21. 2008 – Area poets, authors share recent works at Raymond library
I turned over leadership at some point in 2010, but continued to attend here and there until late summer, 2011 when we hit the road in our camper. Then when we moved back to this area in 2012, I briefly toyed with the idea of starting a new group, since the RWG was (and is) still going, but I got a bit sidetracked by my depression recovery.
Now, the opportunity has presented itself in the form of Writers’ Night Out, sponsored by the New Hampshire Writers’ Project. While I still have to dot a few more Ts and cross a few more eyes, I think it’s safe to say I’ll have the newest location of this monthly event up and running in the very near future.
So, dear reader readers, to get the skinny on this and other New Hampshire writerly things, be sure to *like* and *follow* –

Happy writing!
What memories this brings back. We were good, weren’t we? Miss you. When and where will you meet next?
KIM!
Dang, I thought I linked the info from the Facebook post, but looks like I missed it. This is it (I’ve also now corrected the above post – thanks!) –

We really had an amazing group back in 2008. When I reread the articles, all I could think was, “Gee, I want to hang out with these people!”
I planned to give you a shout once I hear official word about a location for “Writers’ Night Out.” I’m hoping I can tap you as my backup host, should the need arise. Expect an email in the very near future… *grin*
Hah! See, you have more than one reader! 😉
Go you on the writers’ group effort!
LOL!
Thanks, thinky! 🙂
