The Stittsville Creative Writing Group is a program of the Ottawa Public Library. The group meets every Thursday at the Stittsville branch for approximately an hour to read pieces they have written. Other OPL groups exist, often with different models, however SCWG has found its model has worked to the extent that we've been in "business" for several years. Also, despite increasing our membership to 25, the OPL still has to maintain a waiting list! We are: poets, scholars, rogue scholars, authors, and audacious amateurs taking their first steps into group sharing and into the published world. There are those who mostly listen rather than write, those who write prolifically but only share with the group and published writers. These are our stories.
