Gatherings

We are re-evaluating this writer's group and whether or not it meets the need of women writers. Until then, all gatherings are on hold. Stay tuned for updates! Thank you for your patience. Your feedback would be helpful in making this decision.

Grace & peace,

9/30 Writing Happiness


"There can be no unsuccessful writing if it opens up the passion buried in the script of your unique self. Good writing blesses the writer's soul. Then it will be good for the reader's soul." Kent Ira Groff, Writing Tides

Writing Prompt~
Take a moment and recall a time of happiness in your life. It could be when you were a child, feeling the freedom that a bicycle can bring. Or as a teenager with that first real boyfriend. Maybe it was a family vacation, a mission's trip or camping. Whatever it is...as God to guide you to the happy memory you are meant to recall. Dig into your life and find that special time and write about it. However, here's the trick...write in third person ~ as if you are observing the action. Fill up one full page or continue until you feel finished. Take a minute and read over what you've written. Reflect on how that story makes you feel. Did hidden memories surface that surprised you? Enjoy this exercise as you go deep soul diving... deAnn
