<p class="MsoNormal">This Saturday will kick off our monthly Write-Ins, which will henceforth be on the third Saturday of every month, barring December because let’s face it, nobody is going to come after finals with the break about to start. Join us in Evans
358 at 10:00 with your laptop and/or writing materials ready to be creative. Writing prompts will be offered to those who would like one and I invite all attendees to bring their work to our Wednesday evening Writer’s Circles.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For those graduate students who cannot make to our first session because of Comps, we wish you all the best of luck!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Evans 460 at 5:30 Wednesday—bring copies of your work to be respectfully and constructively critiqued by your creative peers and talk writing over free coffee. I cannot say how proud I am of this group and how it has developed. Join us
for a great time even if you don’t have anything to present. <o:p></o:p></p>
