\"mtsireflection\"<\/a>Writers!<\/p>\n

Greetings. Hopefully you’re eking out the last of summer and getting ready for a great autumn of writing.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
First things first, reminders:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1. Thursday (that’s tomorrow)\u00a0The Black Dog\u00a0<\/a>in Historic Downtown Snoqualmie is hosting a poetry night. I talked to Chris, the owner, and she said that the goal is to become joyfully depressed over summer’s exit. It’s very tongue-in-cheek. Honestly it’s to celebrate the greatness of words and the art form of Poetry, as well as the art form that created wine. Open mic. So, bring your poetry to share. I may even read. No bottle of wine will be over $10. Hope to see you all there. “Poverty Wine and Poetry” starts at 6 p.m.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
2. Our revamped Writing Workshops begin on Saturday, at 10:30 a.m. until Noon at the North Bend Library. \u00a0I understand that many of our published authors will be at the Snoqualmie Block Party — and that’s awesome. Go sell those books! For the rest of us, we’ll be diving back into the Poor Man’s MFA curriculum and discussing The Back-to-School basics of a Writing Education. Lots of tips and tactics and a take-home list to remind you. Oh, and of course there will be writing and sharing. Please RSVP<\/strong> so I may plan accordingly with hand outs and set up.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Today’s prompt has to do with end-of-season travel. I’m starring at my mug from Colorado and thinking about my trip, which then gets me thinking about this story I started and never finished. Therefore, today’s prompt is to write a short (no more than 1500 words) story that happens while traveling. Pretty broad, I know. So, there’s one thing I want you to include in the story: \u00a0a chicken crossing the road. Now, go write.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Hope to see many of you Thursday or even tonight at the Writing Cafe at Jay Berrys. Also, don’t forget to RSVP for Saturday.\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Now your moment of Writing Zen:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“You can write a short story in two hours. Two hours a day, you have a novel in a year.<\/a>“*<\/p>\n
Ray Bradbury<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
*And as we all know, a novel can be written in a month, too. Don’t forget\u00a0National Novel Writing Month<\/a>\u00a0is in November. 30 days. 50,000 words.<\/div>\n
