“A person’s experiences of life are a book. There was never yet an uninteresting life. Such a thing is an impossibility. Inside the dullest exterior there is a drama, a comedy, a tragedy.”

– From Mark Twain’s notebook and “The Refuge of the Derelicts”

The UU Life Writer’s Group meets from 10:30 a.m. to noon on the first and third Saturdays of the month to write and share in the Lower Level-Centering Room at the church. For questions email Mary Herde.

The group was formed in 2001 on a whim! Bernice Cudd and Fran Reynolds thought it would be fun to write mini-memoirs with a group of UUs for summer recreation. So it began, and it has not stopped since that summer!

The group has changed some in members, but all are good (not necessarily professional) writers and enjoy telling stories of their lives and enjoy hearing others’ stories.  We have experienced childhood traumas and escapades, college experiences, and travel, and met people we would never know – all through our stories.

All are welcome to join the group. One does not have to be a great writer, just one who enjoys writing life stories and hearing others. This is not a critique group. Pens/pencils and paper are the only requirements.
