First off – I want to thank everyone - from the heart of my bottom - that came to the Macomb Guild-of Writers meeting...
I think I'm safe in saying that the board - Jenifer Smythe DeBellis, Cathy Plum, Stella Wilfinger, Cynthia Anne Hurt, Michael Ciavone - appreciate your FABULOUS commitment.
Peer-to-Peer Workshops are about to begin!
HOMEWORK: Bring 3 hard copies of something you’re written for next week. No more than 2 pages. If you want to bring an excerpt, you are more than welcome to do so. Remember… bring your best work.
Another thing to remember… an open mind is important – not only in regards to the work of other writers, but also your own. Peer-to-Peer workshops are about improvement - providing and receiving constructive criticism. The goal is not only to improve as writers, but as readers. To be a good writer is to be a good reader... and being a good reader not only improves your knowledge, but it also helps you apply that knowledge to the craft of writing, adding to your already existent gift, style, and voice.
