The Women's Club of Costa Rica was talking about starting a Writers Group for their members.
Here's what they wrote about it - "Do you have a book inside of you? A memoir? A blog? Journal entries stuck on a shelf? Poems just waiting to be put on paper? Have you been so busy just doing your life that your writer self has been left behind? Well, all that is about to change with the introduction of The Writers' Workshop. Here is a place where your writer self can take wings through the act of writing, sharing your writing and giving and getting feedback. Just imagine spending one morning a month in the company of other writers, would-be writers, and appreciators of the written word. And then imagine communicating with one another during the month through a blog."
