Branching associative word chains formed during Exploding Writer’s Block!, November 8.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This Thanksgiving weekend, Cuppa Pulp has been most thankful for those who have helped to inaugurate our initiative in building and supporting a reading and writing community here in Chestnut Ridge. The image featured today is a notebook page straight out of our workshop with Emmy Laybourne, “Exploding Writer’s Block.” Earlier this fall, Julie Goldberg led our very first Book Club in discussing Erin Morgenstern’s The Night Circus. And we look forward to more free workshops in the coming months.<\/p>\n

We also thank Ingrid Hopkins and Bern Weintraub for continuing to make the Writer’s Space<\/a> possible. The Writer’s Space saw new users this fall, as local writers discovered a peaceful yet stimulating environment upstairs at Meadowlark, complete with a clear, well-lit desk, free Wifi for research, and a shelf full of free writer’s resources at arm’s reach. We hope that all writers within an easy jog will continue to enjoy the Writer’s Space.<\/p>\n

Finally, we thank you, our local customers! Did you have a chance to come by Meadowlark\/Sunbridge\/Cuppa Pulp on Small Business Saturday? What a festive and warm alternative to the usual channels of holiday trade! Where else can you find beautiful, thoughtfully chosen natural toys and gifts, a rich, easily accessible selection of anthroposophical resources, and a curated selection of reading enjoyment for yourself as well as your family and friends, all under one cozy roof?<\/p>\n

Our next event for writers will be The Gift List<\/em>, a workshop on character development by Cuppa Pulp owner Donna Miele, on the evening of Thursday, December 13–see our Fall Events Calendar<\/a> for details. Our next Book Club selection is Rules of Civility<\/a>, by Amor Towles, winner of the NAIBA Book of the Year award in fiction. Please sign up for either (or both!) via email to info@cuppapulp.com, or on the clipboard at Meadowlark (look for it in the display to the left of the door as you enter).<\/p>\n

Look for a News and Events post, coming soon, all about our Grand Opening party last weekend. Thanks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
