Hello Writers,

​

​

 

Once when driving, I hit the car in front of me, just nicked it really, stripped a piece of chrome from the side of the car.  The driver got out of his car and came back toward my car, approaching me on the driver’s side.  His fists were clenched, his face was red, his jaw was set, his face was grim.  I knew I was in trouble.

 

You may never know the rest of this story, but if you come to Saturday’s meeting of the Berea Writer’s Circle, you will learn more about writing in ways that help you show your story, without just telling it.   Pam Warren, one of our members and author extraordinaire, will help us understand why this is important, show us examples,  and help us practice this important writing skill.  Pam will also have recommendations for resources to help you with this kind of writing. 

 

So, please come to the Show Don’t Tell presentation and practice, Saturday, April 19, 2025 from 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm at the Madison County Public Library at Berea in one of the community rooms.  We will have refreshments.  From 4:00 until 5:00 pm we will hold and open mic and you can share a small piece of your writing – prose, poetry, novel, short story, memoir, essay.  Your choice.  So everyone is welcome and I think you’ll learn a thing or two if you come.

 

I hope we see you there.
