PLOTTERS INK FICTION WRITING GROUP
Monthly meeting downstairs in the Dunham Public Library Board Room.
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). Facilitated by CJ Alexander.
Please bring copies so we can read along with you as you share your story.
For details, see: http://whitesboronywriters.blogspot.com/2017/03/april-2017-plotters-ink-assignment.html
