Writing one-handed is fun. Actually, not really. But, I’m bringing you your weekly cheerleading and information all the same.

We have about 10 days until our next workshop:  March 18, 2017 at 10:30 a.m. at the North Bend Library. I certainly hope that we’ll have good attendance. As our community has grown, meeting space is at a premium and the library readily offers space to us, but we must be active to maintain that space. Also, writing! Right? Give yourself permission to carve out just 90 minutes once a month to be pushed to level up your craft.

Your prompt is to continue to work on the homework from Feb. 18 workshop and keep deconstructing your chosen text.

If you want to zing out a short story (no more than 1500 words about International Women’s Day and a story of a strong woman in your life, I’d love to see that, too.

Don’t forget about the weekly writing cafes — tonight at Little Si Cafe beginning at 6 p.m. and Friday at The Black Dog at 9:30 a.m. Hope to see you.

Now your moment of Writing Zen:

“Your personal life, your professional life, and your creative life are all intertwined. I went through a few very difficult years where I felt like a failure. But it was actually really important for me to go through that. Struggle, for me, is the most inspirational thing in the world at the end of the day – as long as you treat it that way.” ~ Skylar Grey
