Just send your piece (manuscript format please) via email and once a week we’ll feature a piece based on our prompts. So turn that homework in!<\/p>\n 2) \u00a0We are looking at following Word Jazz, to begin hosting a once-a-quarter literary salon. \u00a0So I’m looking for suggestions of local authors, publishers, agents, etc. that you would like to see appear at these salons to discuss writing life themes and topics.\u00a0Don’t know what a salon is? Check this video out: \u00a0The Shoreditch House Literary Salon<\/a> . It would be for active members only, since there will be a limited amount of seats. The first date\/seats will be offered in an upcoming Regular Work Session (our Sunday meetings at the library). So if you’re not there, you won’t know. Then it will be offered to the larger virtual group, likely within a very short time frame of the event, if at all. Have questions, please feel free to ask.<\/p>\n **********<\/p>\n And now your moment of Writing Zen:<\/p>\n A video edition: \u00a0Neil Gaiman on Writing Elves and Getting a Job.<\/a><\/p>\n —<\/p>\n — Casondra Brewster “But words are things, and a small drop of ink, It’s deadline time folks!
