Hope is the Thing
During the past few months of quarantine, the Chippewa Valley Writers Guild did something special. They created a community wide writing experience. They asked for writers of the area to contribute a piece to a collection focused on HOPE.
“The “Hope Is The Thing” Project is a state-wide, collaborative writing project committed to finding the hope in the heartache. Each day throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Chippewa Valley Writers Guild members (and their friends!) will post a new piece of writing inspired by glimpses of hope observed in this difficult time.”
The project was kicked off with this great piece by CVWG director, B.J. Hollars. Many of our Mississippi Valley Writers Guild members felt compelled to participate in this unique writing exercise. Below you will find the contributions of several of our members. We are grateful to the CVWG for sharing their platform with us and our words.
We hope you enjoy reading them as much as we enjoyed writing them. We also hope that you are well, safe, and have ample reading material.
All our best,
Amanda Zieba, MVWG Vice President
