Just Read the Darn Thing!
Monarch Tree Publishing, Inc. is proud to feature Just Read the Darn Thing!
Get a cup of coffee, relax, and enjoy the stories, memoirs, and poems of the Chippewa Valley Writers' Group.
The first time that we were called upon to read our writings to the group, many of us hesitated. We hemmed and hawed, explained
what we wanted to accomplish, and apologized for not having achieved it. All of these antics were procrastination, hoping to delay
or duck reading our writings. Sheila Doering, the founder of our group, recognized all these tactics. Her response was, "Just read
the darn thing!" After that strong admonition, what else could we do?
Just check out the darn thing!
