In just two and a half weeks, the Wyckoff Library Teen Writers Group will be meeting again (remember: the first Thursday of each month!).

BUT this time it will be a completely different writing experience.

We are delighted to have back with us the wonderful folks from YOUTHSTAGE, a really cool group of writers/performers from Princeton, NJ.

This time, YOUTHSTAGE will be offering Wyckoff Teens (12-18) a program called

ACT IT/WRITE IT!

I'm sure my writers are all up to this fun, and even if you think you aren't, just give it a try!

I can't imagine anyone of you will be either disappointed or undelighted (word?? or did I just make that one up?).

Anyway, for those with interest, and I hope that's all of you, it starts at 5:00PM and lasts until 6:30PM.

Contact me please!

Yo yo here we go! We be marbilizin',

and if you don't know what that is

come check it out and learn a new artform.

Thursday 16 November 2011, 5:30 PM in the Wyckoff Library.

All Wyckoff teens are welcome, so register soon.

Hey, that's next week, already!

So. . .we have suffered through a dire week, filled with power outages, downed wires, tree branches falling freely, and other such horrors, but we have come through!

The highlight for me?  Last night's TEEN WRITERS GROUP meeting, attended by five of my loyal legion of writers, and we shared lots of new writing.

BUT, the coolest thing of all was that at least two of my writers is endeavoring to accomplish the NaNoWriMo feat of writing a book in the thirty days of November.   Check it our for your darn selves:

As if that was not enough, another of my stalwarts is writing a story to submit to an online competition!

Ah, the Wyckoff Teen Writers continue to accomplish great things!

Okay, the TEEN WRITERS GROUP writes again tomorrow. Get out your Schaefer cartridge pens* and start penning something to bring tomorrow to read to your peers.

See you in the library at 5:00 PM, and get ready to have to good time for about an hour and a half.

*Schaefer cartridge pens were what I had to write with when I was in grade school. Messy things, but they did encourage great penmanship! (You don't have to write with them, but there is a decided coolness to doing so, for me at least.)

My middle finger that rested just below the nib was perpetually blue, the required ink color!
