The Birth of The Writer's Cramp

The Year of the Snake
wraps itself firmly around the new year
as 2002 opens and the Writer's Cramp is born.
Like the Aquarius, it brings with it optimism
as well and creativity and innovation.
Like the tech-savvy, digital natives of Generation Z
it brings opportunities to be philanthropic and interactive.
A chance to stretch our writing muscles and limber up.
We are a family, connected by hearts and a love of words.
Each of us ready to share parts of our experience
To bring us closer together
And fight off the mental fatigue of these stressful times.
The Writer's Cramp has brought us together
And we raise a glass to cheer its 20th anniversary.
Long live the Writer's Cramp.
