September’s prompt is a painting by Stuart Dwork. Write a poem, song, skit, essay, or story inspired by this painting. All we ask is that you write something that you feel the painting represents to you. You can be as literal or as obscure as you like. Have fun and we’ll see you at SHAMc on Wednesday, September 5.

Future Writing Classes
Writing Funny – “How to make readers laugh, or at least, smile.”
Taught by Debbie Klein
Wednesday, October 24, 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.
What are you? Some kinda wise guy? You think you’re funny?
GOOD!
Debbie Klein will help to hone your creative writing skills. While she won’t promise you’ll get published and make a million bucks (although it’s probably more likely than winning the lottery or being struck by lightning) she will help you bring humor to your writing.
Debbie wrote a column for Tropical Breeze for three years. Shewrote scripts for a Public Access TV show called Entertainment Notebook and she flunked out of a damned good college, which means she was accepted! The Tampa Bay Times has printed a few of her stories, and the family asked that she write something for Aunt Esther’s ninetieth birthday. She is also completing a compilation of stories to be published by Chapter Two Press.
