Over the past several years the monthly writers' meetings held by the Jackpine Writers' Bloc have come and gone with the times and the people. Late in the year of 2002 they were brought back to life with vigor by Tarah Wolff and Sharon Harris. They continue today joined by experts, amateurs and lovers of all of the various genres of writing (we always welcome new writers!). Use the drop downs below to read throughout our history.

HI Everyone,
Today we held our January Meeting. Our February meeting will be held on Sunday, February 19, 2012 at Bella Caffe in Park Rapids MN from 12:30 to 3PM.
PRESENT:
Mike, Sharon, LuAnne
TALKING STICK BOOKS:
We have started to receive submissions for TS21. We have an early deadline of Feb. 20 this year. We will send out reminders.
WRITING EVENTS:
LuAnne watched a Teleconference called How to Bake Your Book.
DONATIONS:
We thank everyone for their donations. It looks like we will still need to get a small grant for this year's book.
MISCELLANEOUS:
Mike has been having some great success with his writing. He had pieces published recently in three different magazines and is working on a fourth one. Congrats, Mike.
Sharon has finished her third poetry book Unspoken. Copies will be available soon.
Tarah's big fantasy novel is now finished. It will soon be available.
Hope to see you next time! This January meeting seemed to fall so early--maybe our low attendance today was due to that.
