The purpose of this club is three fold: 1) To work through Don Miller's new workbook called, "Storyline" in seven to eight weeks; 2) to engage in reflective writing in a group; and 3) To actualize some life-decision or goals through utilizing the Storyline module. If you desire a meaningful gathering where you can examine how well your envisioned-life-story matches the trajectory of story-lived, this group is for you.

Hello and thanks for stopping by to take a look. As you know or will soon discover, writing can be a very solitary craft. So, this group’s primary purpose is to shine a little light on that solitude in order to keep us both focused and motivated. While we will be scheduling face-to-face meet-ups, this group’s primary means of support will be via telephone conference calls. Join us and you will always know that you are not alone. Most Sincerely, Mark
