Sunday, January 21st Meeting Notes & Prompts


Harry Posner, as Poet Laureate for Dufferin County, is organizing a Poetry Day on Broadway in May on the heels of the opening of the Saturday Farmer's Market. Details will follow soon.

Patricia will be meeting with Lauren, Events Coordinator at Orangeville Public Library, regarding what events we can participate in with the library for the coming year. We all agree that Open Mic was a big success and worth doing again.

Writing Prompts:

HEADWATERS WRITERS’ GUILD – January 21 2018– NANCY RORKE


Zen in the Art of Writing by Ray Bradbury    

I know you’ve heard it a thousand times before. But it is true- hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you don’t love something than don’t do it.

The Internet is a big distraction.

Your intuition knows how to write, so get out of the way.

Write something that you love, something to live for.     


Prompts

The Lake
The Night
The Night Train 
The Old Lady or Man
The Neighbour
The Attic
The Crow
The Coffin
The Telephone

Other Prompts

I swear I see ghosts everywhere…
The difference is that I lie for a reason

As always, you are encouraged to share your writing here.




Next Meeting:
Sunday, February 11th, 1:30pm
Leader: June
