The Sol Writers, the women’s writing group I belong to, had its annual Coffee House this past weekend.

This is an event that I look forward to each year—an opportunity to present my writing to members of the community I live in, Solivita.

The Sol Writers

As usual, we had an enthusiastic audience of about sixty people. By their applause and laughter, it was obvious that each of us hit the mark with our offerings.

Because the Coffee House is supposed to be entertaining, we usually choose pieces that are witty or humorous, although a few of the women share more serious pieces. I think the variety of voices, subject matter, and styles of delivery help to make the evening entertaining. And I’m happy to say, that some people return year after year to this event. In keeping with the Coffee House idea, there are light appetizers, desserts and beverages. Needless to say, we sell tickets to this event—so I think it says a lot for us that people are willing to part with cash to come and  enjoy our writing.

As a person who is passionate about her writing, my most fervent desire is to share what I’ve written with others. The Coffee House gives me and my sister writers an opportunity to do just that.

I raise my cup to all of those who support us by attending the Coffee House each year! Thank you.
