For anyone who wants feedback on their writing, the Writers@Work critique group meets 7:15 p.m. first, second and fourth Mondays in the lower level of the College of DuPage Student Resource Center. (We have an abbreviated schedule in December but will be back to full strength in January.) Please email me, cassie67@mindspring.com, for more information.

If you'd like to get on our newsletter list and receive notifications of our meetings, send an email to mudbugg@mindspring.com and put Writers@Work in the tagline.

Writers@Work is open to all writers. In our 16 years of meetings, we've read poetry, screenplays, essays, novels, short stories and more. Many of us are working on novels, and we often discuss writing and publishing issues at the start and end of the meeting.

You don't have to read, but if you'd like to read, bring 6-8 copies to pass out to the group. You'll have 10-20 minutes to read (depending on the number of people reading that night), and then the group will respond with questions and comments. We're not competing with one another, so we try to keep things positive and talk in terms of what we like, what was unclear, and what "bumped" us out of the story.

Good luck to everyone in the final stretch of NaNoWriMo, and I hope to see you at Writers@Work!
