Hello Everyone!
If you missed the first meeting of The writer's Practice Group, fear
not, we will be meeting again! The next meeting of the group will be
on Wednesday November 7, 2007, at 6:00 P.M. Pacific Time in the
Friends Of Bookshare Classroom at:
http://conference321.com/masteradmin/room.asp?id=rs0f1c528bd81b
The group will be meeting at this time each Wednesday evening to
write and read aloud on specific topics designed to help us to
improve our writing. We will be discussing techniques we can use to
become more adept writers.
I look forward to seeing you all there.
Below is one required writing topic that each member will write, and
bring to the group to read aloud, and four other writing topics that
you can use as writing prompts for daily writing practice.
Peace,
Mayrie
Topics For Next Week
These are topics that will help us not to feel trapped when trying to
write every day. The required topic is one that we can spend more
time preparing than is available during the topics that we cover
during the group meetings. No one always writes at their best under
pressure of time. This is your opportunity to shine!
1. Make a list of three memories you would not want to part with. Make
a list of three memories you would gladly be rid of.
Choose one to write about in detail, and write about it.These are
memories about which you have strong feelings. (Required)
2. Ask at least three friends to select what they feel is the most
beautiful word in the English language, and jot down their
selections. Alternatively, try the same with their least favorites.
Include as many of these words as you can into a poem or paragraph
about words.
3. Recall a time when, as a teenager or preteen, you felt vulnerable.
Describe that time without using any words that explain how you felt.
In other words, strive to convince your reader that you were lonely,
sad, frightened, whatever, without mentioning any of these abstract
words.
4. Write about a back yard, or a kitchen.
5.Free write on a topic of your choosing.
