Writers of fiction, poetry, lyrics, screenplays and life stories come from diverse backgrounds. For the past three years a small group has met weekly to write together, offering criticism and support to whoever stopped by. Over 200 different people have dropped by; we learned something from each one of them. Most of the people who found us had already written for years- some even published.

If this is something that interests you, join us! We meet every Wednesday, from 9 AM - 10:30 at the Jesus Center on Park Avenue.

With Apologies to Mr. Gershwin

Summertime, and the breathin' is wheezy,
Trees are blazin', smoke's risin' high
Manton's burning, and Shingletown too
Hush little breather, don't you die
 
Is that the sun? And where are the stars?
Skies are brown, and so are our lungs
 
A lightnin' strike, or a broken tailpipe,
Careless campers, dropped cigarettes
Hush little cougher, don't you die
