The schedule for write-ins won’t come with advance notice but we’ll attempt to post them here as time and opportunity presents itself.  Here are the current write-in dates and times and places:

Wednesday, November 5th: 9am – noon at Augie’s (250 Salem Street, next to St. Augustine’s church, corner of 3rd Street and Salem in downtown Chico).

Sunday, November 16th: Time and location to be announced.

You do not have to be a member of the Chico Writer’s Group to attend but it would be greatly appreciated if you would contact us to let us know you plan to attend.  These meetings may be cancelled if there isn’t enough interest generated, so please check with our website before heading out!

12:00 Noon – 1:00 PM Craft Workshop
We’ll be trying out a workshop using flash fiction where writers are given a topic to write on for a few minutes and then discuss. This should be a very fun activity!
     After the exercise, we’ll discuss the focus of the writing exercise, a specific element of the craft of writing. A sure winner for all genres of fiction!
