Our Last Meeting

Hi Everyone,

The South Arkansas Writers met at 2 PM on Sunday, 14 June 2026 (a week early because next Sunday is Father’s Day), at Main Street Pizza in El Dorado. Present were Jack and Janet Ryan, Marilyn Joyner, Rick Vosper, Beverley Bethune, and Desireé Stipp-Bethune.

Our next meeting will be at 2PM on 19 July 2026. Note that this is back to the third Sunday of the month.

News:
  Beverley Bethune (Desireé’s mom) has been here visiting and came to this month’s meeting.
  Desireé won a Second Place for “The Broom,” at the White County Creative Writers meeting.
  Janet brought the Armenian Lace that she’s been creating and writing about on her stamp pages.

Writing from Prompts:
1) Marilyn read, “My Summer with Granny”
2) Desireé read “The Case of the Found Underwear”
3) Beverley read “A Moment in Time”
4) Janet read “Stamps from Monaco”
5) Jack read “Tiggi”

Prompts for our July meeting include: 1) Whispers, 2) Seeing the ocean for the first (or the last) time, 3) 250th Birthday, 4) fireworks, and 5) (as always)... Anything You Want.

We critiqued Jack’s Chapter 24 from his novel “The Centaurian Bud Vase.” We had some interesting discussions and a lot of good suggestions.

If anyone has something to be critiqued, a news item, another prompt for our next meeting, or would like to present a short “program” on something that you think would be of interest to us all, you can email me at jackwryan@gmail.com

See you in July on the third Sunday. Stay Safe.
