Writing Workshop

We were beginning to gather at the "Shut up and Write" workshop on Broadway I brought a couple of chapbooks of my poetry and an article published in a collectibles journal A Hispanic woman told me she was writing a memoir I showed her my chapbook - she smiled Last time I came there was a prosecutor who wanted to write "literary fiction" Also, there was someone who was heavily into finishing his comic book It seemed that only the Hispanic woman and myself have come to "Shut up and write" She is busy typing up her memoir I start work on a story Across from me two young Asians have begun to work on getting their Series 7 license They are working intensely A writing workshop in a coffee shop "Shut up and Write" Indeed!
