Notes from Sunday, September 8, 2013

The Portsmouth Writers Salon had a wonderful meeting this evening. Meeting minutes were emailed out to the ten members. 

Our writing prompt for tonight's meeting was, “Connie was sitting in the rocking chair near the fireplace, smoking a cigarette” from Dancing After Hours by Andre Dubus. 

“Don't quit. It's very easy to quit during the first 10 years. Nobody cares whether you write or not, and it's very hard to write when nobody cares one way or the other. You can't get fired if you don't write, and most of the time you don't get rewarded if you do. But don't quit.” 
― Andre Dubus

Until next time.

Keep Writing,
