Do you have a story to tell, or to sell? Do you want to have it published?  If so, consider joining the library OWLs,

a small group of writers who create memoirs, short stories, novels and poetry.  The Oelwein Writers League was created to share in the common interest of creative writing; inspire and motivate members to write: and provide a supportive forum for constructive feedback. Membership is free and open to anyone.
