Join with other writers of all types to give yourself this writing workshop, a two-hour empty space for exploring, plowing through, or opening yourself up. Most experience words and ideas that flit through our consciousness, but never make it to the page we fantasize and cannot find time to actually produce. Writers will initially be offered a simply prompt to get the juices flowing should that need be present. One and a half hours of (caffeinated) silence will ensue for writers to pursue their own projects or try something new. The last half hour will offer a space for sharing (or not) our sentences with others. Please note: all writing is welcome; fiction, non-fiction, essays, family history, and memoirs.

For more information or to make suggestions, please contact Cynthia Sample at 214-766-3907 or [email protected]

In 2036, Texas will celebrate its bicentennial. What will Texas look like in 2036? Will Texas still lead the country in economic growth? How do we prepare our state for the challenges ahead, such as population growth, rising healthcare costs, pollution, and the depletion of natural resources? Tom Luce founded Texas 2036 to frame these challenges and look for solutions. Come hear an update on the "state of our state," moderated by Diana Newton.
