A Poem a Week

“Indy’s Most Notorious Coterie of Misfit Writers”

Taking photos and writing poems were not enough to keep Brad busy. He runs a writers group called Pen to Paper. Brad says it consists of “Indy’s most notorious coterie of misfit writers.”  It is found at www.pentopaperblog.org and includes a Meetup group at www.meetup.com/Pen-to-Paper. The group’s purpose is to write and improve writing skills. The members write and critique each other’s written work. The website indicates how to get started and the rules of the writers group. The group is open to all skill levels, so check it out.
