She has also been published in several magazines using different genres.   "The main goal of CWU is to encourage those who already write and those who desire to write – to write," states Jennings.   "Considering everybody's hectic daily schedules, writers need continual encouragement to write. We also need help in the areas of publishing and marketing and CWU members can provide assistance in both areas."   Presently, CWU members are working on a book of short stories written by CWU members.  It will be published in the late fall.
