See our map page for directions to our 2011 meeting location. Next meeting: Saturday, December 3, 2011 The latest issue of our chapter newsletter is now online. President's Message From the December 2011 newsletter, by Kathleen Dougherty It's been a wild couple of months for me. Two months ago I broke up with my husband of nineteen years. My life is now heading on a more positive path, but it's a rocky way and I'm picking my way through. I'm still writing, but slowly and carefully as if my writing were a mirror into my own world. It all seems so new right now. It all feels so important...and yet different. I am not writing to finish the book at the moment. I'm not writing to meet any goals or self-imposed deadlines. I'm writing the way I'm living-- to experience the moment. To see where it leads me. To taste the freedom of the world as I create it. Yes, my friends, life has changed, but I knew it would. What has always amazed me and continues to amaze me is the way my writing keeps evolving and changing, too. Just when I think I got it figured out, it becomes something more and it continues to mean more to me. I can't wait to see you all at the next meeting. I particularly enjoy our December parties. I love the laughter and friendship and the room full of warm, caring, talented and intelligent people. I hope you are all finding good joy and happiness both from the season and from your writing.
