BryonySeries Throwback Thursday: WriteOn Joliet's First Meeting
This was part of a post from February 6, 2012.
Several weeks ago, a local writer, Kristina Gardner Skaggs (see her short story, Dead Serious, www.bryonyseries.com/Harold_Masters.html and her interview at http://bryonyseries.blogspot.com/2011/09/meet-kristina-skaggs-author-of-dead.html) approached me about assisting her with a new writer’s group.
A few conversational emails later, we finalized time, date, and location: 6:30 to 8:00 p.m., the first and third Thursdays of every month, at the Three Rivers Arts Council (TRAC), 413 Mondamin Road, Minooka.
To our delight, five local writers turned out for that first meeting last week We shared our interests, heard some readings, set some goals, directed each other to helpful sites, and brainstormed our official title.
Since that time, we've moved to the Joliet Public Library at 3395 Black Road in Joliet, published three anthologies (with another out later this year), expanded membership, held a few workshops, and branched into marketing.

This past month, we hosted our first display at the Joliet Public Library's downtown branch at 150 N. Ottawa St. in Joliet. The display comes down after our meet and greet from 6 to 8:30 p.m. tonight, so if you haven't seen it, this is the last opportunity.
Some of our members (including me) will be present with books we've written, along with our three WriteOn Joliet anthologies (along with our latest, "Cheetah Stories"), so please stop out and say, "Hi."
In short, we're here to support local writers, AND we're helping local writers produce the very best reading material possible for readers, voracious and otherwise.

Bertrand's First Paint Night, in Pictures
Remember "The Count" on Sesame Street?
Well today, was sponsored by the letter "W." Let's "count" them: work, workshop, and wedding.
Isn't that wonderful?
Well (get it, another "W"), while I was at the wedding, Bertrand attended his first paint night and made a new friend, a Stegosaurus named "Cheetah."
Below is a recap his fun. For more photos of Bertrand's adventures, follow him on Instagram at bertrand_bryonyseries.
