In former times, artists of all types would gather at homes or restaurants to talk about their creative successes and struggles. Join fellow writers and artists in a 21st century “Artist Salon” to discuss issues of interest and share information. Each month, we will have a focused topic as well as time for social exchange. This month writer Alice Osborn will lead us in a discussion about “The Stages of Being a Writer,” which involve creating, revising, marketing, publication, and doing it all over again and again.
