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

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!

From Sarah Grosskopf--  in case anyone is interested, the Silver Lake English Community is hosting a writing and art workshop at Woodland Dunes Nature Center this Saturday, November 3rd from 10AM to Noon.  I went last year and it was fun.  Don't know if including the facebook link will work: https://www.facebook.com/events/1029263453921975/


Details:
Join the editors of The Novice for a drop-in poetry and visual art workshop at Woodland Dunes Nature Center any time between 10 a.m. and noon on Saturday, Nov. 3.
