Dear Writers,


Please note that we cannot confirm dates until we receive the Artswords Newsletter on the 1st  day of each month, so we really appreciate your patience.

Here's your weekly update:

This week's Extra Task:
A swooshing wind almost knocks you off your feet.  You look up only to see . . .

Sneaky peek at next Week's Tasks:
If I were: A Question.
Main Task: At times like this, I knew better than to ask "Why me?"

DATES TO REMEMBER:
If you are looking for something to do this weekend and next weekend with your family, friends or you want to go by yourself, this looks like a really exciting event.

Penni and I have volunteered to do both Sundays, so we hope to see you there.

Happy writing everyone!

Regards,
