Prompt Writing Class with Nancy Peacock
Prompt Writing: Serious writing begins with playful writing. Please join this unique ongoing group of supportive adult writers and play your way into the possibilities of the written word. Based on the work of Natalie Goldberg (WRITING DOWN THE BONES, WILD MIND) we set a timer for fifteen minutes and write using prompts as our launch pads. This class is free and open to the public.
Nancy Peacock’s first book LIFE WITHOUT WATER was published and chosen as a New York Times Notable Book. It was followed a few years later by another novel HOME ACROSS THE ROAD and most recently by a work of nonfiction, A BROOM OF ONE’S OWN: WORDS ON WRITING, HOUSECLEANING, AND LIFE. Nancy lives in Chatham County and runs writing workshops in her studio and this Prompt Writing class every second Saturday at Flyleaf Books.
Start: 3:00 pm
End: 4:00 pm

Glenda Poulter reads from her novel Welcome Home
Shelby Livingston left home thirty years ago, vowing never to permanently return. But she's tired of her itinerant lifestyle as a photojournalist and is ready to settle down and stay in one place. When she learns of a position on the staff of a magazine near her hometown of Yancey, SC, she decides to bid on it and returns for an interview just in time for her 30th high school reunion. Memories of her senior year in high school flood back. She remembers all the pain she felt as the Six - Howie, Carolyn, Melissa, Kara, Naomi, and Shelby - were split apart, first through betrayal and then through departure. Shelby has to face the ghosts and the demons from her past. Will she be able to forgive them, living and dead, so that she can finally settle down in one place?
