Happy 4th of July from Central Oregon Writers Guild! 🎉🇺🇸
We hope you're taking some time today to relax, celebrate, and maybe sneak in a few lines of writing between the barbecue and the fireworks. Summer is a quite good season for stories. Long days, new ideas, plenty of inspiration outside your window.
Wherever you're celebrating, we're glad you're part of our writing community. ⭐
Tag us in your holiday writing spot. We'd love to see where you're working today. 📍
