Hello Writers!
Here's hoping you're enjoying your holiday season to the fullest. Stay safe as you shop and travel to visit friends and relatives.
The schedule is a bit light this week at The Writer Workshop. Tonight, Monday, kicks off our week with our Workshop at 7 pm. Bring a few copies of 4-6 pages (double spaced, 12pt Times New Roman, 1 inch margins, line numbers are appreciated) of your work in progress to read and receive feedback. Only $5.
We'll be closed on Tuesday and Wednesday for the holiday. But, join us Thursday for our Book of the Month discussion. The December book is Steal Like an Artist by Austin Kleon. (There are still copies available here at The Writer Workshop for purchase.)
We'll have another Workshop on Saturday at Noon and then we'll have Fiction through Prompts at 2pm on Sunday. Come learn about a literary device and write to a high-end prompt.
As always, I'd love to hear what you think. What types of events are you most interested in attending? What king of help would you like with writing or your road to publication? Reply to this email and let me know.
Enjoy the journey!
Gregory

The Writer Workshop Bookstore
Steal Like an Artist by Austin KleonAn inspiring guide to creativity in the digital age, Steal Like an Artist presents ten transformative principles that will help readers discover their artistic side and build a more creative life. Nothing is original, so embrace influence, school yourself through the work of others, remix and reimagine to discover your own path. Follow interests wherever they take you—what feels like a hobby may turn into you life’s work. Forget the old cliché about writing what you know: Instead, write the book you want to read, make the movie you want to watch. And finally, stay Smart, stay out of debt, and risk being boring in the everyday world so that you have the space to be wild and daring in your imagination and your work. “Brilliant and real and true.”—Rosanne Cash |
| | Fiction Through Prompts
The popular Fiction through Prompts. Each session includes writing to a “high end” prompt, reading our work, receiving a bit of feedback, and a short lecture on a literary device.
This weekly event allows you to step outside your box, to disrupt your usual thought process by writing to a prompt without advance thought. You hear the prompt, and then write for about 20 minutes. Participants then read their work and receive a bit of light feedback. It's an informative and sometimes transformation process.
