October 13, 2026, Adrian, Michigan – As we enter the quieter season when animals, birds, and plants tend to hibernate, writers at every level of experience are encouraged to look at what encourages their inner ponderings. The next Writer’s Workshop, Winter’s Invitation, is planned for 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Saturday, December 5, 2026. Participants will spend time together writing, sharing their just-written work, and learning about the strengths of their writing.
