I have a fun writing project planned for us to do
during the meeting. And as usual, here are some
topics for you to use as possible topics for your daily writing practice.
Writing Topics For The Next Week.
1. Today write a full page of junk. It can be
trite, repetitive, vague, clunky, melodramatic,
gibberish?the worst stuff you can muster. Read it over and notice all
the elements you understand about writing through the intentional ways you
wrote against them. Now crumple, tear, or
delete the page and toss it in the trash
along with your belief in failure. I'd rather
you didn't bring this as your piece of writing to
share with the group during the next group meeting.
2.Memory is a great source for writing
topics. Whole poems or essays can spring from
memory. In fiction, memory will help you to write believable characters.
Write about the day that you left home to live on your own as an adult.
Ideas to consider to spur you on:
Where were you going?
Why were you leaving?
How did you feel about the move?
Give us as much detail as you can. Take us there with you. (Required)
3. Personification is giving human
characteristics or actions to lifeless objects or
animals or ideas. "The wind raged through the
trees." "Happiness pulled me up in the
morning." Try personification with
these: winter, fear, cat, excitement, bear,
table and chair, house, restaurant, hope, and
mouse. Feel free to elaborate on the ideas with a sentence or two.
4. Write on any topic that has caught your attention recently.
If you would like to have your prepared writing
topic posted where the others present at the
group meeting can read it, rather than reading it
aloud yourself, please send the prepared piece of writing to me at:
mrenae@xxxxxxxxxxx
no later than 4:30 P.M. pacific time the day of the meeting.
Have a great week, and HAPPY WRITING!
Mayrie
