THINGS TO REMEMBER:
Plans will be posted for each monthly meeting. We will have two on the 3rd week of the month, so if you can't attend one, you can attend the other.
Interaction within the group will be necessary for detailed feedback and time for reviewing writing. The group will be where we post your prompts for feedback throughout the month. Then we will openly discuss it at our next meeting.
