What a wonderful way to welcome spring! “Creativity within Constraints” was the theme of our Publishing Day: Meet (or Create) Your own Writing Group presentation on March 21st… and it was FUN!
After introductions, Anne stepped the audience through a hilarious fill-in-the-blanks word game!
A writer group is a partnership between CARS and MOUSTACHES that is designed to help BEAUTIFUL writers reach his or her PUPPY.
It is a step-by-LOLLIPOP process that creates clarity and PINETREE-filled moments.
Here are some of the mental, emotional, and IRRITATING benefits of writer groups:
- Discovering your inner OVEN and allowing it to play.
- Celebrating a transformative MEZZO SOPRANO experience.
- Learning the art of HYPERVENTILATING.
- Learning how to change CURIOUS thinking.
- Learning how to express yourself HALTINGLY.
The relationship between a writer and their writer group transforms BUZZARDS and enhances the members’ VOLUMES.
True, it takes a commitment of time, and LEPRECHAUN, and BELLYBUTTON. And the writer group doesn’t always turn into friendship — it turns into something more powerful and AROMATIC.
A writer group is a great way to meet WEASELS and learn more about yourself, your DAY, and your WOODPECKERS.
After the laughter died down, Bethany hosted a mixer where attendees could meet each other and take the first steps to a creating a new writing group.
We’d handed a questionnaire to each participant at the beginning of the event to help shy writers break the ice I joined in and met writers from all over the world.
I met new writers tiptoeing into the writing group process and long-time pros who’d just moved to Charlottesville and wanted to make contacts.
Question asked at the end of the event included
How does an existing writing group select a new member?
Where can I meet other writers?
Anne and Bethany did a bang-up job giving thoughtful and meaningful answers.
The only thing more fun than our 2015 Festival of the Book event was planning it!
