Much
of what GLVWG members can learn from one another comes not from
formal interviews or prepared speeches, but from the art of conversation,
where improvised exchanges garner new contacts, shared tips and
resources, inspiration and emotional support. Throughout history,
great minds brought together have spurred even greater thoughts—recall
what you've read of Michelangelo or Picasso, and the countless creative
notions that took shape in the Medici mansion or at roadside Paris
cafés.
This creative spark requires more fanning than our monthly 15-minute
doughnut break allows. Enter The Writers Café, a monthly event that
will promote the type of interpersonal alchemy that defies prediction.
Can you make time in your busy schedule to drop by for a cup of
coffee and some face-to-face conversation about the writing life?
The event is free, but what we learn from one another may be priceless.
This is a "drop-in" event with only a start time and a
location to guide us. Come when you can, leave when you must. The
event is informal by design, so no reservations are necessary.
The Writers Café
will be held at Borders, Whitehall, at 7 p.m. on the second Wednesday
throughout the year. We will start out in the café, but if
large numbers arrive, Borders has promised to set us up elsewhere
in the store (coffee and other treats still allowed!).

This event can't help but be productive if two members who want
to get to know one another sign up to host in pairs. Consider what
kind of pairing interests you, make the invitation, pick a date,
then sign up to host—either at our regular monthly Palmer
Township Library meeting or click
