Introduction
Hello. I've lived in Raleigh for 10 years. Am interested in meeting other writers. I write short fiction, flash fiction, poetry, essays and am also working on a novel. My third book of poetry is WEARY BLUES (Big Table Publishing, Mass.).
Have you ever been commerically or self-published?
My poetry has appeared in Calyx, Feminist Studies, 13th Moon, Crucible, Cold Mountain Review, etc. Fiction has also been published in literary journals. My novella was a finalist in the William Faulkner-William Wisdom Creative Writing Contest.
Do you have a website you would like to share with the group?

Hi Maureen,
Just re-joined the group. Been busy, busy, busy. Just self-published my first full length novel "retrOrlando", and am planning to attend the Oct. 6 meet up. Will read a snippet if I'm one of the lucky first 14. See you then. -
Hi Maureen,
Just realized hubby's back Fri., and not Thurs. like I thought!! I also have an 11 yr. old--who has already started school and the 6:20 am bus ride, so I'll have to wait until next month.
Cheers, Vicky -
Hi Maureen, I'm interested in attending the meetup on Thursday, but I would need to bring my 8- and 9-year-old daughters. Would this be kid-friendly?

Hi Maureen. Thank you for co-hosting The Poetry Reading @ Cameron Village Library, I enjoyed the reading. Three different poets with three different styles of writing and speaking, yet you all spoke from the heart. I love that about good poetry. As a prose writer it reiterated the importance of synthesising poetry into prose. I got over the intimidation and sat down last night and wrote a poem. Win lose or draw, the reading helped knock down a mental barrier.
-
hi Maureen, just wanted to say thank you. Your meeting was great, met good people and enjoyed the readings thoroughly. See you next time.
-
thank you.

Hi Maureen,

Hi Maureen, I'm looking forward to meeting you. I haven't been to a reading at The Royal Bean before, only the TAF meetings when they met there. Anora

I just found the friends button and had a few minutes to play - hugs and smiles to you for today.

Maureen:
I will most likely be late for tomorrow's open mike but I hope I can put my name in when I arrive. It's great that so many people are attending.
