It’s once again the beginning of the writing season for me. I don’t really take off and not write, but club season is a renewal. My club, The Enid Writers Club, breaks for the summer months though some of us continue to meet for critiques. But come fall, we once again get together to get our creative juices flowing. School has started once again, summer is winding down, and fall is in the air, even if only in my mind.

Next week is the September meeting of the Enid Writers Club. We meet on the first Thursday of the month from September through May at NWOSU in Enid. Like minds with the need to create come together once again. Come join us and check out what we do. You might find a home there.

This month, we will have an exercise to get us started thinking about story writing and we will renew old friendships. We’re planning a workshop on November 2, 2024, at St. Matthews Episcopal Church in Enid and have four speakers scheduled to speak that day. Lunch will be provided. I will have more information on that in the near future. But we always have a great turnout and learn a little something.

If you’re a writer and not a member of a writing club, you are missing out. It’s not just the camaraderie, but a great way to meet new people with like minds and knowledge to impart. We help and encourage each other. We read each other’s work and offer criticism, and mostly we just offer moral support. Writing can be lonely craft, but when we get together we realize our ideas are good and we should be proud. There are so many kinds of writers and so many stories to tell, that we never run out of material, but that is Another Story for another Time. Join a local writing group and let the stories flow.

What are you reading/writing/creating this week?
