PLOTTERS INK FICTION WRITING GROUP

Facilitated by CJ Alexander. As our group matures into its 4th year, we've relaxed the boundaries quite a bit, leaving room for personal choice each and every month. The rule of thumb is to select a specific GENRE each time. Please identify what that genre is - it may not be obvious to anyone but you. Here are your choices:

Biographical/Historical… Dystopia… Ethnic… Horror… Humor… Mystery… Science Fiction…Travel…Urban Myth… Western…Young Adult…or Writer’s Choice: (i.e., anything not on the list as long as it’s fiction).


Please bring copies so we can read along with you as you share your story.
