RedBird-RedOak Writing

It didn’t matter that the electricity gremlins had knocked out the lights in the studio, Robert Vaughan and 13 participants lit up the room with Flash Fiction — examples, exercises and exformative interpretations. (Don’t know what exformative is? You’ll have to sign up the next time “Flash in the Pan” is offered!)

Can’t wait to hear their work at the follow up Flash Roundtable on Nov. 13th.

It’s nothing short of magical to be in a room of writers sharing their work with an appreciative audience. What a fabulous night of poetry and prose!

Thanks to all who are under the spell at our most recent “RedBird-RedOak On the Road” at Fixx Coffee House.

Join us for some writer-ly camaraderie and to listen to some fabulous work presented by our current Writers’ Roundtable participants. Free and open to all.

Another fabulous morning with the “Write ’til You’re Blue in the Face” group. Today we shared the titles of books that have inspired us on our writing journeys:

Writing Down the Bones: Freeing the Writer Within, Natalie Goldberg

Globe Jotting: How to Write Extraordinary Travel Journals, Dave Fox

The Shipping News, E. Annie Proulx

(“…an amazing example of what writing can be!”)

Bird by Bird, Anne LaMott

On Writing, Stephen King

The Right to Write: An Invitation and Initiation into the Writing Life, Julia Cameron
