CREATIVE WRITERS

Note the 3-D headline. Look at it a few seconds--perhaps at slightly different distances--
to get the effect (Chromostereopsis). Upping the monitor's contrast-control helps.
Stare gently between the lines.

The "Writer's WorkShop". Snapshots of a few of us.

Up-date: 4-6-04. Webmaster: Jon K. Hart

Join in on our informal discussion group.
If you write, you need to have your work seen by friendly but honest people. We provide critiques (not criticism) for each other. Even if you drop in for the first time, you can bring something you've written. (you can always decide not to read it, and you don't have to join right away...)

We meet on the first sunday of each month, 2-4 PM, at the Pettigrew Museum conference room (in thru the north door, into the west room, & thru the door on that room's south side.)

Biblio--new/favorite books:
  1. Fowler's "Modern English Usage" (& updates of it).
  2. Rodale's "Synonym Finder".
  3. "Origins", an etymological dictionary, by Eric Partridge.

You can write to us at my e-mail address: hart134[at]sio.midco.net.
