Welcome to our LifeWriters Group, where SCN members get together to talk about lifewriting & our lives. We're like a party, with many conversations going on at once, in many different "rooms" (& on the patio & in the kitchen) and on many topics.

To give ourselves a bit of focus, we've designated days of the week for special topics (but we never stick to just these).

Monday: Brazen Hussies Day (we brag!)
Tuesday: Open (Until we think of something)
Wednesday: True Words (favorite quotes, mostly women's words, some guys)
Thursday: Food & the Environment (yes, these are related!)
Friday/Saturday/Sunday: What we're reading; Weekend Plans

The Story Circle Network is dedicated to helping women share the stories of their lives and to raising public awareness of the importance of women's personal histories. We carry out our mission through publications (a quarterly journal, annual anthology, books), web sites, classes, workshops, conferences, writing & reading circles, and woman-focused programs. Our activities empower women to tell their stories, discover their identities through their stories, and choose to be the authors of their own lives. For information about SCN and how to join, go to our website: www.storycircle.org

This SCN listserv, one of SCN's official publications, is designed to expand these and other aspects of SCN. It is open to members only. Our aim on this list is to share bits of lifestory but not formal stories--if you want to do that, please join one of the Internet Chapter's writing circles: http://storycircle.org/ecircles.shtml

"We are simply hungry for good stories, fiction or nonfiction. Story is the umbilical cord between the past, present and future; it keeps things known. Story becomes the conscience of the community, it belongs to everyone. When we think about what it means to be human, it is always answered or explained through story."--Terry Tempest Williams
