New Year's Eve -- Free Class

WRITE ON, RENTON

An evening of reading, writing, and creative cavorting with Renton-area writers. Members of the Tipsy Typers, a local writing group, will kick things off with a series of short readings from their work. The second half of the evening, the readers and audience transform into creative participants. Led by teaching artist Kate Swenson from ConFab Arts, we’ll explore different ways to play on the page with fun prompts, challenges, and writing time designed to connect and inspire. Great for established writers and total beginners. An inspiring, artistic launch into a creative new year—let’s get lit, Renton!

December 31 from 6:00-7:30 pm

Write-O-Rama a Mid-November Treat

November 2024 Write-O-Rama was a huge success with writers from Renton, the Eastside, Seattle, and even Sequim gathering to get words on the page and mingle with fellow wordsmiths. Thank you for everyone who volunteered, donated, and showed up with open hearts and flowing words.

First Place in Short Story! Pacific Northwest Writers Association Literary Contest.

Pleased as punch to announce my short story Platform Driven was awarded first place in the PNWA Literary Contest. It was a fun night with writer friends at the awards dinner and after party.

What's Platform Driven about? The quippy summary : A millennial influencer joins the Old Girls Club.

Not my usual genre, I think the best description would be a comedic horror parable, and I am so pleased that people seem to enjoy its creepy delights. I think I'll be reading it at the Tipsy Typers Spooky Grown-Up Story Time next week. I hope to report soon on where YOU can read it soon. Until then, remember not to let ambition blind you and listen to that voice inside you when it whispers "Get out, now!"
