HPAAC’s Writers have been meeting since 2011. We meet on the first Tuesday of each month at the LeDuc Historic Estate. All interested parties are welcome. You do not have to be a writer; you do not have to be published, although some participants are published or in the process of publishing. You simply must enjoy the written word and the power that the written word can have, as well as the support and camaraderie of other writers.
Meetings are facilitated by Diane Saed, a former Hastings teacher. Diane is also on staff at the University of Wisconsin, River Falls, and Saint Mary’s Graduate School of Minnesota in Minneapolis. Each session is roughly divided into three parts:
- Introductions and a brief writing activity
- Discussion of the writing experience and sharing of the writing if willing to do so
- Discussion of what participants have been reading as well as upcoming literary events
Sessions are held around the dining room table at the LeDuc Historic Estates; bring notebook and a pen. We have had as many as fifteen participants and as few as five, depending on availability. Our next meetings are scheduled at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 12th, and Tuesday, May 3rd, 2016. These sessions are free for HPAAC members and for those that are not HPAAC members, we request a free will offering.
Questions can be directed to Diane Saed at 651-437-7192.
