News and Notes

Mark H. will lead our final dissection of How Not to Write a Novel during our 4 February meeting. Please make sure you finish Parts V and VI of the book by then.

The 19 January LIT UP! was a success, with eighteen audience members hearing readings from Solange Ritchie, Dirk Sayers and Beth Yarnall. Many thanks to Maddie for once again putting this event together.

Steve J.’s play “The Asylum for Rejected Characters” will have its last performances this weekend in the Camino Real Playhouse’s upcoming International Playwriting Festival in San Juan Capistrano.
