Fixx on Fire!

June 4th, 2010 by admin

With over 40 in the audience, RedBird-RedOak Roundtable Writers lit up the place (Fixx Coffee House, that is!) with flash fiction, humorous fiction, novel excerpts, creative nonfiction and memoir.

It was great to welcome Katy J Vopal’s Creative Writing students as well as some folks who just happened to be in the cafe and got hooked on listening to our writers. Special thanks to the other RedBird-RedOak writers who were not reading but joined us to support their comrades-in-ink. Finally, a giant THANK YOU to Fixx owner, Shari Franz, and her intrepid helper, Julia, for their hospitality.

Worth Way More Than the Price of Admission!

February 5th, 2010 by admin

They looked like regular ol’ people enjoying an evening cupppa joe or glass of wine — until they stood up and took the mic that is. Then a quiet fell over the cafe, and we drank in powerful images, humorous scenes and compelling plots, all the result of lots of hard work and the supportive feedback writers find in our Roundtable groups, facilitated by Robert Vaughan, Jeannee Sacken and Laurel Landis. What a night!

Many thanks to our courageous and very talented writers and to Shari Franz of FIXX Coffee House!

RB-RO + FIXX = A Great Evening!

November 5th, 2009 by admin

When coffee drinkers stopped at FIXX coffee house on Nov. 5th, they were treated to more than their caffeine fix: members of the RedBird-RedOak Writing Roundtable groups were sharing some of their works in progress. Poetry, essay, fiction, memoir — not only were the pieces very well-crafted and polished, but the deliveries blew me away! More than one person commented that it would be fun to do this on a more frequent basis… okay, if you twist my arm!
