Middle Fork River provides setting
The Calhoun-Gilmer Writer's Guild held their annual retreat last weekend
along the banks of the Middle fork River. Sprits were not dampened by the
rain, the group engaged in writing exercises and storytelling.
The diverse group, with members of all ages and genres, meets monthly,
with new members always welcome. See Calhoun-Gilmer Writer's Guild
under Links.
