Let's Meet Up to Discuss Writerly Things, and to Share Work!

HEY BAYOU WRITERS,

It’s hard to believe we are already in the second quarter of 2026! Have you set your writing goals for the year? Are you keeping on track with your word count so far? Perhaps all you need is to come have dinner with some fellow writers to find your inspiration!

We haven’t seen quite a few of you in a while, and I know you’re busy so this is the friendly nudge you’ve been waiting for to get you moving in our direction. Put it on your calendar, set a reminder, RSVP, and make writing and meeting with your writers group a priority. I can honestly say we have something pretty special at The Bayou Writers club and I think you will feel the same way!

If you haven't gotten off to a strong start yet, it's not too late to get your writing plan together! I have to readjust my goals monthly and quarterly. You can do it!

In addition to the discussion, we'll also have time for Readings:

LET'S SHARE OUR WORK
We are a writing group... so please bring in anything you are working on and want to share! New members are especially encouraged to bring something to read. It can be flash fiction, a short story, journal writing, or a couple of pages from your larger manuscript. If you write it, we want to hear it. The only request is to keep it under 1,000 words.

GREAT PLACE TO EAT
We have found a wonderful new home at Sake Garden in Mandeville. They have a small private room, excellent service, and wonderful food. They are not charging us for the space, but if you can, please plan to eat dinner and dessert or order drinks to help them for helping us.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone in person Thursday!

Until then, Happy Writing.
