OVERHEARD IN A WAITING ROOM
Waiting rooms are funny places. They are confined areas with very little privacy, making it too easy to overhear conversations you would normally avoid.

The group's purpose is to help support aspiring writers of all ages and stages in a monthly meeting. This true story is Sue's first published piece. We're proud of her.
