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.

Real Crime Drama





True Story:
This morning I go out to spend the last pennies in my account on gas.
About a quarter mile down the road I realize my wallet is not in my pocket.
Back up on the narrow road and go home, look around all the usual places--no wallet.
Not seen since the last time I bought gas--Tuesday
I go to the 7-11 and ask if they found it. She looks all over, no.
Then I call Corning Police and inquire.
Halfway into making my report I see the wallet on the floor of my car (it was under my laptop).
I'd already used up ten minutes of the police person's time and I didn't want to let her feel that it was wasted
Or that I was stupid
So I didn't tell her my discovery.
Am I guilty of filing a false police report?
