Pens November Meeting Assignment & Pens Reader's Choice & Silver Lake-Woodland Dunes November 3rd Event

11/1/2018

0 Comments

 
Greetings All,

First of all, I want to assign homework for those attending the November Pens meeting.
For those who wish to participate in reading their work to the group:
  • Pick up to five pages and edit them for reading at Pens.  (Something new or old that you have written. Wink Debby! ;))
  • Write this scene with purpose- who, what, where, when, why.
  • If the action or dialogue doesn't move the story forward then cut that.
  • What does the antagonist (aka bad or interfering character) or protagonist (hero or heroine) want? What gets in the way? What is his/her reaction and feelings and thoughts about what happened?   
Our Pens Readers have chosen HAZARDOUS DUTY  Squeaky Clean Mysteries, book 1 by award winning author, Christy Barritt,  for our next read! Let me know if you will be among our numbers so that we can inform you on our discussion date!

    Words are not just words. They are thoughts and inspiration that have been behind every relationship and every deed--good or bad throughout time. If you have that burning desire to communicate and explore, come peruse my pages, teachings, and short stories. Allow inspiration to anchor your dreams on the written pages of memoirs, devotions, poems, or stories, both short or long! Luxuriate in the creativity you were born to share!
