Write Where We Are: WriteOn Joliet Sixth Annual Anthology 2022 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781949777499)

You want to see my heart?
Touch my spirit?
Listen to my dreams?
Wrap your arms around my past? Grasp the air for my future?
Well, you can.
The good news is you can. In fact, you are, right now.
The really good news is, there's nothing especially magical or difficult or expensive about it, it's
as simple holding on to this book in your hands.
For between the covers of this book - the sixth "Write Where You Are" anthology, are the hearts
and spirits and dreams and haunted pasts and glittering futures of everyone who chose to
contribute a poem, short story, long-form fiction, personal essay, and illustration to this
collection from the Joliet area's preeminent writers' group.
This collection, like its five siblings proves that everyone has a story to tell from wherever they
are on their life's road. That their story is unique and special and deserves telling as much as
anyone's.
And that like other forms of magic, writing, when done well - with courage, conviction, a
smattering of skill, some dedicated practice, and a touch of commitment to get you over the
bump's in life's road -- does what all magic does: it transforms the very air surrounding the
audience as much as it does the act of breathing for the writer.
Money doesn't matter. Ego doesn't matter (or shouldn't.)
All that matters is the power of the tale. The heart that supplies the love, or endured the loss that
powers the tale. Or the imagination that steers the ship.
We proudly share ours with you, the reader, and hope from the bottom of our literary souls that
you find whatever it is you're looking for, and/or need, in our work.
Enjoy!
