The Writing Journey 2025
This is to sign-up for the 2025 Writing Journey, the year-round writing community that historically has served members in the cities and suburbs west of Chicago (roughly in the region of Naperville). Nowadays, most of our Paths support virtual participation. Note that we ask that existing Journey members sign up again each year (so we know who are the active members and what e-mail groups to possibly add you to; e.g., the Poetry Path has its own e-mail list).
