Do you have the next Great American Novel in your head, a la Mark
Twain or Harriet Beecher Stowe, and want to get it written and read?
Or are your literary leanings more toward a Shakespearian sonnet?
Perhaps a delicate reflection a la Emily Dickinson or a stormy, husky,
brawling poem a la Carl Sandburg? Possibly you yearn to write more
in the counterculture vein of Jack Kerouac. Perhaps you are inspired
by the likes of Arthur Conan Doyle to write a detective story. Maybe
a collection of essays that would do justice to Emerson or Thoreau
is just right for you, or perhaps something in the creepy and spooky
genre of Edgar Allan Poe.
How about song lyrics a la Bob Dylan, epic poetry in the fashion of
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, or even a full-length play? Will the
world be enthralled by your autobiography? Or best of all, have you
written something that shows your unique literary vision?
If this piques your interest, or if you just want to hear what others
have written, you are a perfect fit for the Sun Lakes Creative Writers
Club. We would love to have you share your work, be it a draft in
progress or one ready for publication. You will find a non-critical
audience that would be happy to provide feedback and be inspired
by your work. We would love to have you drop by and take part in
our discussions.
Each month, we meet on the first Monday from 1 to 3 pm and the
third Thursday from 3 to 5 pm in the Main Clubhouse Multipurpose
Room. Contact Thomas May for further information at (951) 743-
2127 or email thomasmay0922@gmail.com.
