Miscellaneous Mountain Misfits

For those not familiar with MMM, we have a monthly meeting (usually the first Thursday) at the home of one of the group. The idea is two-fold: (1) is that we do some writing (for 15-20 minutes) in response to a loose stimulus provided by John Latham., followed by a non-critical read-around of what has been written. This takes about 45 minutes, followed by short break and then: (2) a read-around, led by Edie Eilender, involving all people who care to read [for about 6 minutes per person maximum] some of their already-written prose or poetry, or writing by someone else. If, instead of reading, someone offers a song or two, that is welcomed. There is no pressure on people to actively participate. Most attendees do, but some come simply to listen. The host provides some limited drink & snackies, and if attendees care to bring along a modest contribution to the drink or food, that is welcomed, too.

Our next MMM get-together is Thursday, May 3rd at Bill Patterson’s home at 6:30 pm.  Location is out west of town and up the hill from Morning Sun with access by 4-wheel drive.  Call Bill if you need specific directions 303-459-0108 and please also call to let him know if you are coming.  There will be rides up the hill to his home at 6:20-6:30.

John will be off to England and Bill will inspire us to write for 15-20 minutes with possibly a character development stimulus.  Then we will continue with the somewhat normal schedule for the evening.  Please join us!!
