Name:
Location: Rochester, New York, United States

Basic Mantra: “Disturb the comfortable; Comfort the disturbed." I am a writer & artist & photographer & fool. I try to use my fractal focus and obsessive tendencies to illuminate the edges of invisibility. I can usually be found around town snapping pics of locals, chasing my kids, drawing abstractions with my sharpies or long & gangly sticks, writing whatever happens to spill out of my pen, & reading banned books.

Update for February 6th Meeting

Hi everyone! I have finally sat down to update our contact list for the Wood Library Writers' Group. You will find that as an attachment on this email!!!

We are growing, not only in attendees but I do think as a group we are really helping one another to get down to brass tacks and get the writing done. I worked an entire day on the draft of my book this week: 14 pages!

Here are some books that were recommended during our January meeting:

Bird by Bird, Ann Lamott
If You Want to Write, Brenda Euland
Pen on Fire, Barbara DeAmrco-Barrett
Writing Down the Bones, Natalie Goldberg

Also, Marie Starr mentioned a couple of places that offer an opportunity for those who want to read their work. They are the Blue Dahlia 585-394-0280 on Main St. Canandaigua, open mike from 7:30-8:30 p.m. every Wednesday and Daily Perks at 389 Gregory St. in Rochester 585-271-2340 open mike every Thursday at 7:30 p.m.

Please make every effort to attend next month's meeting, as Patti Steele-Perkins, literary agent, will be attending and telling us about how to get published. Invite others who may want to hear her. If need be we can move to the large conference room down the hall.

Yours, Cindy
