At the next meeting (March 5th) we will be holding a Blind Book Exchange. Each attendee should bring two books wrapped in wrapping paper, newspaper, brown paper bag, comics, whatever. Anything that makes the book unrecognizable. Both of your books should be wrapped in the same paper so you know which books are your's. You don't want to end out taking home your own books.
The purpose of this is two-fold. One, to possibly introduce each other to new writers and/or genres. Two, we would like reviews of these books to be posted on this blog.
If all goes well with this Blind Book Exchange, we will arrange another one and expand it outside the group.

Prompts:
1. What if your pillow collected your dreams and you could plug it in too your laptop and watch them over and over again?
2. My spouse made me coffee this morning and winked at me when he/she handed me the cup. I've never before been more scared of a drink in all my life.
3. I believe there comes a time when everything just falls in line.
4. She was grateful to be living in her very own version of happily ever after.
Keep in mind the possibility of future publication when writing from prompts this year.
"There is freedom in being a writer and writing. It is fulfilling your function. I used to think freedom meant doing whatever you want. It means knowing who you are, what you are supposed to be doing on this earth, and then simply doing it." - Natalie Goldberg, Writing Down The Bones
