Open mic

That's the theme for the Writers' Morning Out's August 12th Open Mic - Of course, if you (or your favorite character) aren't doing anything this summer (or prefer not to tell...hmmm) you can tell us about someone else's summer (or fall, winter, spring...we really aren't that picky.)  CNF, Fiction, Poetry -- all are welcome ~ 

The winner of the Ultra Flash Fiction contest will start the program by reading his/her entry.  If you haven't submitted your entry yet, there's still time. Deadline's July 31.  In case you've forgotten, the rules are below ~ 

We meet at 1:00 pm at  Greek Kouzina, 964 East St, Pittsboro.
