Kaitlyn Wierzchowski writes a fascinating blog, sure to delight logophiles. (Don’t fret–there’s nothing illicit going on. Logophile simply and literally means “a person who loves words”.) Even those who may not have a preoccupation with semantics will find something interesting on Kaitlyn’s page. She explains that:

The Kenosha Writers’ Guild will be holding an in-depth writing critique session on Thursday, February 11th at 6:30 p.m. at Carolyn’s Coffee Connection. This event is open to the public, although work to be critiqued must be submitted ahead of time. If you’re interested in having your work read and discussed, please contact board member Chris DeGuire (darthdeguire@yahoo.com) for submission guidelines. People who would just like to read and critique are also welcome, but should contact Chris DeGuire so that pieces to be read can be sent before the Thursday session. More information about the Guild can also be found at www.kenoshawritersguild.com.

Number Three is a doozy, with forty-plus pages packed full of … well, things you find in The Bathroom, including the piece of art on the cover, courtesy Dave Demske. It’s a good place to read.
