Page 3 The Next Chapter

I have been writing most of my life, but I never saw myself as a writer until I joined Atlanta Writers Guild about ten years ago. A few months later, I volunteered to initi-ate and facilitate an all-genre critique group. Not only did I learn to be a better writer, but my level of confidence rose sig-nificantly. When we moved to Knoxville, Tennessee, I joined Knoxville Writers Group and again initiated and facilitated an all-genre critique group. Between Atlanta and Knoxville, my experience leading a cri-tique group totaled seven years. I also took over the job of newsletter editor for KWG. For many years, I edited and wrote articles for newsletters of several organizations. To date, I have only published press releases and local magazine articles, but have com-pleted one novel and have partially written a second. A while back, I placed fourth in a “first chapter” contest open to both domes-tic and international writers. I have also written text and designed layout for bro-chures and enjoy writing inspirational mate

Patricia Wells rial and helping others develop their writing skills. Currently, I am working with Camp Tyler on a commemorative book highlight-ing the camp’s history, community involve-ment, and programs it offers to the children of East Texas. The book will be available in early 2016. On January 11, I will speak at the ETWG meeting on the topic of Critique Groups. My presentation will focus on the benefits of belonging to a critique group, how to deal with issues that come up within the group, the importance of finding the right group, and the role the group facilitator plays in maintaining the order, fairness, and focus that helps create a setting where members feel comfortable about sharing their work and receiving constructive feed-back.

Buy Your Own Gift

Last Christmas, grandpa was feeling his age,

and found that shopping for Christmas gifts

had become too difficult. So he decided to

send checks to everyone instead.

In each card he wrote, "Buy your own pre-

sent!" and mailed them early.

He enjoyed the usual flurry of family festivities,

and it was only after the holiday that he no-

ticed that he had received very few cards in

return. Puzzled over this, he went into his

study, intending to write a couple of his rela-

tives and ask what had happened. It was then,

as he cleared off his cluttered desk that he got

his answer. Under a stack of papers, he was

horrified to find the gift checks which he had

forgotten to enclose with the cards.

Little Johnny went to his mother demanding a new bicycle. His mother decided that he should take a look at himself and the way he acts. She said, "Well Johnny, it isn't Christmas and we don't have the money to just go out and buy you anything you want. So why don't you write a letter to Jesus and pray for one instead." After his temper tantrum his mother sent him to his room. He finally sat down to write a letter to Jesus. Dear Jesus, I've been a good boy this year and would

appreciate a new bicycle. Your Friend, Little Johnny Now Little Johnny knew that Jesus really knew what kind of boy he was (Brat). So, he ripped up the letter and decided to give it another try. Dear Jesus, I've been an OK boy this year and I want a new bicycle. Yours Truly, Little Johnny Well, Little Johnny knew this wasn't totally honest so he tore it up and tried again. Dear Jesus, I've thought about being a good boy this year and can I have a new bicycle? Signed, Little Johnny Well, Little Johnny looked deep down in his heart, which by the way was what his mother was really wanting. He crumpled up the letter and threw it in the trash can and went running outside. He aimlessly wandered about; depressed because of the way he treated his parents and really considering his actions. He finally found himself in front of a Catholic Church. Little Johnny went inside and knelt down, look-ing around not knowing what he should really do. Little Johnny finally got up and began to walk out the door and was looking at all the statues. All of a sudden he grabbed a small one and ran out the door. He went home hid it under his bed and wrote this letter. Jesus, I've broken most of the Ten Commandments; shot spit wads in school, tore up my sister's Barbie doll and lots more. I'm desperate. I've got your ma-ma. If you ever want to see her again, give me a bike. Signed, You know who

ing this list, Poets & Writers vets compe-

titions, contests, awards and grants to
