Ten days from now we will, as a group, sit down to write a collective story — LIVE! In front of the community that has whole-heartedly embraced us. Our Write Now! event is being highly anticipated. It’s very exciting.
Unfortunately, it is a mighty few who will be doing it. Although awesome by its own right, there are several voices that should be a part of this that are not. This makes me so disappointed. I believe in each and every one of you. Won’t you believe in yourself? Won’t you dedicate a few hours to the art that is deep within your soul and come out and write for a few hours? Add your individual voice and style to the project. If you don’t believe it can be done, I turn you to Hotel Angeline. 36 authors wrote this one amazing book. So we can easily do the same.
Specifically SnoValley Writes! needs participants for Write Now! at these times:
Friday, Aug. 12 from 6:45 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Saturday 4:45 to 7 p.m.
Sunday 1:45 p.m. to 3 p.m.
Three shifts folks. Three writers who are bound for greatness is all that is needed!
Your prompt today is to take a chance. Take a chance and join in for the fun and focusing on your art for next weekend. The message from the group at large — and individually from myself — is your writing “someday” is today. There is no time like the present. Your voice will not be heard if you dont’ take a chance.
I wouldn’t want to imagine our world without the likes of Dr. Seuss. I think the world — even just our valley here — deserves a chance to see/hear/read your words.
**********
Also regarding taking a chance, the SnoValley Writes! board is looking to replace the great gap left by the departing treasurer, April LaLande. Let me know if you’re interested and I’ll answer all your questions regarding what a great opportunity this is.
And now your moment of Writing Zen:
“Perseverance is a great element of success. If you knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody.”
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

“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
