We had a wonderful turn-out for this weeks meeting. I'd like to
thank everyone who attended and who participated in the meeting for
such an enthusiastic and supportive response to writing and to your
fellow writers. I'd also like to encourage anyone with a hunger to
write to join us at our next meeting. It is both thrilling and
enlightening to share your writing and to hear the responses of
others to that writing.
Below is a list of topics to spur you on in your daily writing
practice this week. Please choose one of the first four topics to
bring to the meeting and read aloud to the group. Due to the size
of the group, the limitations of time, and the absolute necessity
that as many people as possible be allowed to share their writing
and receive the attention that each piece of writing deserves,
please limit the piece of writing, or part of a piece of writing
that you bring to read aloud to the group to something that can be
read aloud in five minutes. This works out to about 1000 words.
If you are unable to read your writing aloud, it can be presented
to the group to read on the screne during the group meeting. If
you are unable to read aloud, and want to share, please send me
your chosen piece of writing no later than 4:30 P.M. the day of the
meeting on November 21, so that I can have it ready for the group
to read. My e-mail address is
mrenae@xxxxxxxxxxx
You can send me your piece of writing or any questions you might have.
Have a great time writing!
Peace,
Mayrie
WRITING TOPICS FOR THE COMING WEEK
1. Write in different places-for example, in a laundromat, and pick
up on the rhythm of the washing machines. Write at bus stops, in
cafes. Write what is going on around you.
2. Visualize a place that you really love, be there, see the
details. Now write about it. It could be a corner of your
bedroom, an old tree you sat under one whole summer,
a table at McDonald's in your neighborhood, a place by
a river. What colors are there, sounds, smells? When
someone else reads it, she should know what it is like to
be there. She should feel how you love it, not by your
saying you love it, but by your handling of the details.
3. Write about "leaving." Approach it any way you want. Write about
your divorce, leaving the house this morning, or a friend dying.
4. Write about the streets of your city.
5. Write about anything at all that interests you, just keep the
commitment to yourself and to your writing to sit down and write. HAVE FUN!
