Weekly Writing Prompt — 4/20/11 Edition

Writers:

For everything this day is suppose to signify, the most important is your reminder to make your art a priority in your life. That’s why you get this little note. To be sure that you are carving out even just :20 a day to write and create.

Reminder that our work session Sunday is simply a write-in, much like you would experience at the Bindlestick or Toad’s or any of the other spots we’re known to plop down and write. Feel free to bring Easter Treats to share. Same time – 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. and Same place — North Bend Library Meeting Room. Please let me know if you plan to attend so we can make appropriate accommodations.

The calendar is really against us this year as our next working session is Mother’s Day. I have only had one person say that they could attend. Additionally, my family is quite adamant about me being home that day, so there will be no meeting that day. Let me reiterate:  No Work Session on May 8. The following meeting will be our Annual Meeting. Please do plan to attend. That will be on May 22.

Travel, it’s a wondrous thing that allows us new perspectives on the world and its inhabitants. I want you to travel in your prose, poem, blog or whatever this week. Take yourself to an exotic land, or outer space, or inner space. Become a terranaut, or a pickle salesman in the streets of Sarajevo at the turn of the century. Whatever, wherever. The point is to explore somewhere new within the pages (screen). Let your mind wander as you let your characters travel. Always wanted to hitchhike across the continent? Have your thrifty character do it for you.

**********

If you come up with something you like and you’ve spent enough time revising, send it out into the world. Find a place for it to land. If you need help with the where and who, let me know. I am happy to help,.

We are still looking for volunteers for the Warrior Challenge. Please let me know if you plan to do this.

Those awaiting my critiques, be prepared, this weekend is all about clearing out my “to critique” file. 😀

And now your moment of Writing Zen:

“But words are things, and a small drop of ink,
Falling, like dew upon a thought, produces
That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think.” ~ Lord Byron
