New Writing Circles
Lakeway Writing Circle
facilitated by Barbara Foley
meets the fourth Monday from 2-4pm at the Lake Travis Methodist Church, 1502 RR620


Barbara is a native Iowan but has been rooting and writing here for over twenty years. Barbara has eleven brothers and sisters and started her writing career at the tender age of ten, often writing and editing her sibling's homework!

Her circle began meeting as an OWL group and loved the process so much that they decided to keep on going!!! Barbara hopes this new circle "will inspire each of us to keep finding time to express ourselves through the written word."

Come and join in on this newly formed writing adventure! You can reach Barbara at 512-288-9630, barbara@fregger.com.

"Write Now!" Writing Circle
facilitated by Dianne Holley
meets the first Wednesday from 11:30-3:00pm in rotating locations at member's homes or local restaurants


Originally considered a "North Austin" location, this group is now meeting "all over the map," from Cedar Park to Balcones Woods. This flexible group is encouraging and supportive in nature, talking and sharing are an important part of the process. One member of this group drives all the way from Houston every month!

Dianne welcomes all types of writers and invites a deepening understanding of the motivation, direction, skill and commitment to personal story telling and writing.

You can reach Dianne at 512-339-6372, dianne@cmemories.us.
