Andy Millman facilitates the PLATO Writing Workshop, which inspires members to write fiction, non-fiction and poetry in a supportive community. On Wednesday afternoon, May 8, 2024, ten writers met at the Pinney Library to share some of what they are writing. These writers wrote for a variety of reasons: to remember significant family experiences, for historical purposes, to vent, to explore their personal stories, to create a novel and to share poetry. Three members of the group shared books they recently published. It was an uplifting afternoon of learning and sharing. As Kathi Vos noted, “Ordinary people truly live extraordinary lives.”  

Whether you want to write for yourself, your grandchildren or for the community in general, the PLATO Writing Workshop is a great place to find common interests, good humor, support and encouragement to write! As a visitor to this afternoon of readings, I came away amazed by the variety and fun this group has with writing!
