The Remsen Writers’ Group
--meets at the Didymus Thomas Library. Group members participate in area open mics, hold an annual evening of member’s readings, and publish short works monthly in the Rural Star. Any one interested in writing, young or old, is welcome to attend; however, the library is not handicap accessible. Facilitating the group is Sheila K. Harris, who can be reached at tellingtimes@roadrunner.com for more information.
We have been discussing the writing of mysteries and find that it can be very idiosyncratic - not necessarily just murder mystery, but the inherent mystery in the stories that we write. What is it that we do not know and how is that ok? If you are feeling so inclined, how about trying your own mystery story for the group's next meeting?
