Writing Around Town
In these regularly offered sessions, Lezlie leads writers
to a provocative location in Central Florida for the purpose
of making an extended written response to a single prompt.
You may find her groups in a gallery, in a restaurant, at
the train station, or on the shores of Lake Virginia. You’re
assured of being in a comfortable and stimulating site,
surrounded by other writers who are as mad about words as
you are and want to stoke their creative fires to build
literary energy. For current offerings in the Writing Around
Town Series, go to MADaboutWords.com.
