The Times They Are A Changing…

Yes the Title of this site is TriValleyWriters… well it started out that way. A group I joined in mid stream or rather a branch of the original. There were around 6 women in total at the first meeting. There was an assortment, interesting enough for me to gather in my thoughts, that it could be a good experience, at least New Moments to add to the many others so far I’ve collected in my life. I sit back listening to these writers at various points in their writing careers and hobby writers. Almost as if I stepped out of myself and looked at us as someone else looking in, at this private yet public meeting of women in a Local Coffee shop, late in the evening, chattering away and blocking everyone else out. Being themselves, away from their homes, apartments, husbands, boyfriends, girlfriends, cats…

As I write this, I can see this could be a book itself. Ha! Everything is a Painting or a Book to someone like me. Well back on subject which was to explain the Title in this Website as it states a Plural form of Writers, but as you can see, it’s only me here, at least now. That interesting group of writers, little by little, whittled down to 4 counting me for most of our meetings, months down the road. One in particular was annoyingly not a real writer, which is to say she wrote, but not creatively. She wrote books like how to home school your children, organize your closet, you get the picture. Not what I wanted to give my evening up for from my lovely family and possibly writing or painting time of my own. HENCE The TriValley Writers is now The TriValley Writer 😉

Check back and I will update you on what I am writing about, that will have a Hint (strong or light, you’ll never know 😉 of my life and perhaps a Twist of the Imagination, in which I have Much of ~ Perhaps I’ll even write about the Original TriValley Writers.
