Welcome to the newly formed Barrier Island Writers group. It is my hope that we will learn to share, grow and have a little fun on this blog. My name is Caroline Ann Ranoia and I have been a part, although not steady enough these days of a creative writing group which originally started in the fall of 2006. From the begining the experience was wonderful for me. Our meetings originally started out every other Saturday at 10 a.m. By the end of the first semester we were all so enthusiastic that we made it every Saturday. Our ritual became one of insight, delight, fun, intensity but always positive. I saw my creative writings moving in a new and fascinating direction all along the way meeting folks that became exceptional friends - a journey that started out with a small announcement in the paper turned into a group of truly caring individuals head started by my friend, teacher and mentor Sue Jacobson.
While the number of participants may drift up and down like the tide of the small barrier island where we hold our classes we can feel confident and rest assured that one way or another this is a bar none group.
