Writers:<\/p>\n

Greetings.<\/p>\n

Quick administrative notes before we dive into this week\u2019s writing tasks \u2013<\/p>\n

We need a \u201chost\u201d for the Write-Ins on Friday mornings and Mid-Day on Mondays.<\/p>\n

Any volunteers?<\/p>\n

Our Friday one is 9:30 a.m. to Noonish (currently at the Black Dog) and Mid-Day Muse is from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. (currently at Pioneer Caf\u00e9).\u00a0 Locations could be changed, but SnoValley Writes! needs someone to volunteer to make sure that a table of writers is started. Let me know if you\u2019re interested in\u00a0 doing this.<\/p>\n

Alright\u2026now for our writerly workings for the week\u2026<\/p>\n

We\u2019re working through the tasks of Week 10: Recovering a Sense of Self-Protection within The Artist\u2019s Way by Julia Cameron.<\/p>\n

Note:\u00a0 Many of you have come to me and said that this work we\u2019ve been doing going through The Artist\u2019s Way has been enlightening, difficult, helpful, hard, and oh, so, inspiring. I\u2019m glad so many of you are getting so much out of it. Like I\u2019ve told you in the past, this is my third time through it and I still gather benefit from the exercises, tasks and stories within its pages.<\/p>\n

Now for this week\u2019s Tasks:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Deadlies:\u00a0 Take a piece of paper and cut seven small strips from it. On each strip write one of the following words: alcohol, sex, work, money, food, family\/friend<\/strong>s. Fold these strips of paper and place them in an envelope. We call these folded slips the deadlies<\/strong>. You\u2019ll see why in a minute. Now draw one of the deadlies from the envelope and write five ways in which it has had a negative impact on your life. (If the one you choose seems difficult or inapplicable to you, consider this resistance.) You will do this seven times, each time putting back the previous slip of paper so that you are always drawing from seven possible choices. Yes, you may draw the same deadly repeatedly. Yes, this is significant. Very often, it is the last impact on the final list of an annoying, \u201cOh no, not again\u201d that yields a break, through denial, into clarity.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This one is a lot of work and I really want you all to work on this one. So, be sure to get it done.<\/p>\n

    And now your moment of Writing Zen:<\/p>\n

    \u201cOnly when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.\u201d<\/em> ~Edgar Degas<\/p>\n

    Don\u2019t forget, Writer\u2019s Caf\u00e9 tonight! \u00a06 p.m. at Sawdust Caf\u00e9 in North Bend.<\/p>\n
