Welcome to our Scribblers Scratchings page. For the last five years, the group has also published a selection of their work, with proceeds going to the Scholarship Fund.

Scribble Sisters meet twice a month, and have been doing so since 2017.  Ruth Olsson’s porch in Shaftsbury was home to the Scribble Sisters’ meetings for May through early November this year of still-worrisome Covid-19 breakouts.  See this collection of writings done on Ruth’s Porch.

During every meeting, a time is set aside for writing. Generally about 20 minutes. Writers are given a prompt to write about, and are to stop when the timer sounds.  Sometimes only partially developed ideas are produced, but other times the results are “keepers.”  If a posted piece is from a timed writing, it will be marked with a ⏰.
