We’re quickly approaching another meet-up and I wanted to throw the suggestion out there to make this month’s time together about workshopping. I know, I know, it goes against my insistence that this group is NOT about workshopping, but after almost two years together, I thought it might be about time we revisited some of the pieces we’ve written previously and share them with the group – with the option to workshop for those who’d like feedback.
There’s definitely a wonderful sense of comraderie and experimentation among the current collective of writers that I think would lend well to critique. I’m open to suggestions. With respect to time, if we workshop, we probably won’t be able to generate new writing. Would everyone be okay with that?
Since a lot of what we do each month is respond to writing prompts, I wanted to share this call for submissions I came across in Poets & Writers. I’ve seen and heard so much stellar writing among the group these past couple years and would encouerage you all to check this out for guidelines and to submit something.
SEEKING ORIGINAL, creative writing prompt and response piece of 3,500 words maximum, fiction, nonfiction for anthology. Submit: Prompts and Pieces, P.O Box 103, Maynard, MA 01754. Include bio, SASE, e-mail. Deadline: January 30, 2010. Free book upon publication—traditional publisher. Guidelines: mdellafera@charter.net.
