Almost Bloomsday Forbes Writing Room

Wednesday morning from 9:30- 12:30, writers of every description — novelists, poets, memoir writers, essayists, journalists and more gather for companionable writing time. The Writing Room has been open for seven years.

Bloomsday is a commemoration of the life of the Irish writer, James Joyce.  It’s celebrated on June 16, the day on which  Ulysses is set.  I will facilitate the Writing Room on Wednesday June 14.  Since Bloomsday is just two days following,  I will provide you with prompts based on James Joyce quotes.

I look forward to writing with you.books
