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,

A Grape Prompt, er...I mean GREAT!

This afternoon I had time and the desire to work on my blogs (yay! feels great!) I needed a sweet snack so instead of digging into the Pumpkin Whoopee Pies I made yesterday, I decided to take a pile of seedless red grapes that I picked up at Giant this week. And they are actually quite tasty! As I plucked two of the perfectly round fruits from the safety of their vine, they caught my eye in a particular way...oh, these grapes would be a great writing prompt. "Describe the grapes - how they look, feel, taste, smell, how they sound as you pierce their taught skin with your teeth, how do they make you feel, recal a memory about eating grapes as a child..." and so on. Yeah, some people would say I'm not right in the head, but that is how I think! :0)

We can write about anything. That is a lot of stuff! Look at life, really look at it and you will find oooodles to write about. You just may surprise yourself with a piece of deep and meaningful writing that was prompted by something so simple...as a grape.

Enjoy the creative journey...
