Four women share how they create their unique literary lives. Thursday, April 17, 2008. Posted by Lynne Griffin. I have a thing for journals. I love quality stationery, mechanical pencils and pens that glide across the page.

The Writers' Group: The MFA Decision
http://writersgroupblog.blogspot.com/2008/12/mfa-decision.html
Four women share how they create their unique literary lives. Tuesday, December 16, 2008. There are lots of ways to immerse a learner in the craft of writing. And every writer should be prepared to be a lifelong learner. But which way is the right way for you? I'm wondering if any of you went through a similar decision struggle, or if not, why not.

http://runforgrub.blogspot.com/2010_07_11_archive.html
Saturday, July 17, 2010. Race Details for Run for Grub Groupies. This week, Run for Grub officially hit its fundraising goal and raised enough money to cover the cost of workshops for four writers who want to try a Grub Street class for the first time (or four current Grub Street students who want to try a class in a genre that's new to them).
