January 2024 Update

 Greetings, Writers!

Looking for a writing group? We have 2 options for you. 

1- An in-person evening group is in the process of forming at the Dunham Public Library, 76 Main Street in Whitesboro, NY.  Phone them at (315)736-9734 for information.

2- Anyone who wants to start up and/or lead an online writing group should contact Mark Volz at the Dunham Library. Mark web-hosts zoom meetings and can set you up with a venue in which you may virtually meet.

Our Facebook group page is still in existence. Just search for "Whitesboro Writers Group" and ask to join.

If anyone knows of other local in-person writing groups that are amenable to new members, please let us know on our Facebook page.

Many stories await!

Online Writing Group to Go on Hiatus

Greetings, Writers,

Please read carefully.

The prompt for May 2023 is:

We're calling the prompt "Last Call" because it will probably be our last one ever, for this writing group.

That's correct - May is the final month for our Online Writers Group. 

Your story does not have to be about last calls. Just write a story of about 500 words on any topic you wish, fact, fiction or whatnot (but not poetry). 

This story should be the best one you can write, 

the one you want us to remember you by. 

Make it count.

You may send in your story any time, but as usual no later than May 22, 6 PM EDT.

Comments and feedback on all the pieces are requested.

The blog will go offline sometime in June. Enjoy while you can. 

My sincere thanks to everyone who participated in this group. It's been fun...

I hope you will continue writing and honing your skills. 

Best wishes,

        CJ
