towards a year end “accounting”
We are slowly making our way to the end of 2015. For those who need a little inspiration for their writing – some advice from “brain pickings” –
Famous Advice on Writing: The Collected Wisdom of Great Writers
Advice and inspiration can mobilize the pen and get us writing but ultimately it is up to us to “show up” – to put pen to paper or fingers to the keyboard and tell our stories. Collective members are gathering their thoughts and forming them into poems and stories. We are working towards a 2016 anthology and our annual student writing contest.
Sooke Writers’ Collective has published two anthologies : “Scribblers” and “Words & Imaginings” – order online or buy locally at Barking Door Studio, The Reading Room, Well Read Books and the Sooke Region Museum.
Our next meeting is November 4th at 6:30 in the Sooke Library. New members, ideas and inspiration are always welcome.
And to those in and around Sooke – we are always searching out alternate meeting spaces for evening gatherings – places we can have coffee, discussions and readings. Ideas? Please contact us.
