Yes, Virginia, there are writers in Chesterfield.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, how many pictures is a word worth? Mark Twain once wrote the following words in a letter to George Bainton:

"The difference between the almost right word & the right word is really a large matter--it's the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning."

We're jotting and counting words for our first anthology, hoping that the pictures we paint convey the messages we intend. We're writing with the purpose of encouraging each other to write. We're showing the world that yes, there are writers in Chesterfield County....the one in Virginia.

Sure there are writers in other Chesterfields, writers who sit on chesterfields, and writers who wear chesterfields, but we're part of a special bunch of writers. If you don't believe it, we dare you to join us at our next meeting, Saturday, November 17, 2007 at 12 pm.
