Weekly Writing Prompt — February 18, 2015

Good Morning Writers!

This Saturday you’re planning on being at the North Bend Library at 10:30 a.m. in order to polish your pitch for whatever project you’re currently on, right? Don’t know what a pitch is? You should be there to learn as well. This will be a round-table discussion and critique workshop, so lots to learn. Bring a couple of copies of your pitch to share.
Afterwards, take time for lunch and your Saturday errands, or a nap, whatever, and join us at 3 p.m. at the North Bend Visitors Center for the Storyteller’s Circle. Bring a poem, a short story, a legend from your family, your guitar, your ukulele, a drum, whatever. Tribal leaders plan to be there and partake this month, so it bodes to be a special session. Hope to see you there.
Before Saturday, there is other writing work to be done. If you don’t have your pitch ready, get that ready. (Here is a cheat sheet to get you started.) Or spend two hours editing. Or get 1,000 words on the paper/screen. Go to a writing cafe. It’s free-reign week! Just make progress. Pitch, edit, write, and then write, edit, pitch. Tell your story. It matters.
Now for your moment of Writing Zen:
“We’re past the age of heroes and hero kings. … Most of our lives are basically mundane and dull, and it’s up to the writer to find ways to make them interesting.”
—John Updike

“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
