Good Morning Writers!<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
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.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
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.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
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 <\/a>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.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Now for your moment of Writing Zen:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re past the age of heroes and hero kings. \u2026 Most of our lives are basically mundane and dull, and it\u2019s up to the writer to find ways to make them interesting.\u201d
