My writing group is starting up again next week after taking August off. I send my first piece to everyone yesterday at 8pm and woke up to everyone's comments! I think we must be eager!

My favorite prompt from this morning was in the 10 minute warm up exercises:

* write about your favorite costume, "costume" being an actual costume such as from Mardi Gras, or any outfit you don for the effect it signals (i.d., the black suit that gets you through funerals)

* now pick a person—your mother or aunt or oldest son—and put the costume on them

I made that one up, and it was a hit!

Our #WritingGroup had some effective rules:

1) the people critiquing always had to start with at least one positive thing.
2) the person whose work was being critiqued could not comment while the critiquing was happening but could take notes.
3) after all the critiquing was done, the writer could then speak and answer any questions that came up.

We all learned hard-core how not to take things personally. And we all had our turn in the hot seat!

#WritingCommunity

The new summer #prompt challenge in the Night Shift Writing #discord server has me feeling some type of way.
So far the themes have been 1) Shakespearean discontent, and 2) ambiguous identity. Today the new prompt dropped and it's *Summerween*, a horror/spooky stories with a strong summer vibe.

I am so freakin' here for this! Want to join us? Clicky clicky: https://discord.gg/A9bhFmGd8G

What is this astronaut doing in this living room? It's not only fun to figure that out for yourself, what if you could find out what a room of people thinks? That's what we do during the free writing group Snow - we choose a prompt, write, then people who want to share do. (People who don't? Also totally fine. Sharing is 100% voluntary. No one will call on you.) Give Snow a try: https://crowcollectiveworkshops.com/2022/02/04/umbrella-writing-groups-rain-and-snow/

I started this free online writing group because I wanted people to have a place to come where they could write to prompts and then share (or not share, also totally cool) their writing.

If you…

* Enjoy spending time with other writers in a supportive, friendly group.
* Like joy and cooperation and giggling a lot.
* Are respectful and kind…

This group is for you!

So far, I've used only #Mississippi authors for the examples. All, except for Eudora Welty, have been Black Mississippians. Jesmyn Ward, Angie Thomas, William Attaway, Chalmers Archer, Mildred Taylor, Richard Wright, Jarvis DeBerry, Clint Smith (who isn't MS but LA but close enough), and others. Bc it's mine to lead as I want, and we white Mississippians have a lot of catching up to do.

Found an evening & local #writinggroup! Living in a village, usually, everything like that is in the bigger places, so thirty miles away, or U3A'esque, i. e. on at 11am on a wednesday. Cycled to this one :-) Small group, friendly folk, no 'personalities' so far...

J.P. Brammer's advice to a writer who hates their "writing group" is too funny not to share: https://www.thecut.com/article/hola-papi-i-hate-my-writing-group.html

Been rather uninspired lately. My friend invited me to attend a #WritingGroup with him at the #PublicLibrary - aka, my old job - but the idea of sitting there trying to gather inspiration just - pos, no mas no.

Even at the moment, as I write this, I'm only doing it to ignore my #Canva design for José Cantú. Ugh. Maybe I'll go and mingle with the #Writers. Better still, maybe I'll take a nap instead. #LibraryLife #SpecialCollections #Doldrums

My amazing #WritingGroup gives prompts. This month its: write whatever you want but include a chef's hat, kangaroo, and plunger. I know she thought it was the most absurd thing ever.

Enter the setting: Tucks parade.
Title: Do-Wah-Diddy--Do-Do

Writing groups have been on my mind. Joining one (or two) changed how to thought about my writing.

Absurd Ostrich demands that you attend this free writing group. Absurd Ostrich is hypnotizing you with an absurd gaze. You... will... attend. How does it work? My free writing group Snow meets online every Sunday. We choose a prompt, we write, then people who want to share do. People who don't? Also totally fine. Give Snow a try: https://crowcollectiveworkshops.com/2022/02/04/umbrella-writing-groups-rain-and-snow/

Why are these flamingos indoors? Where did they come from? Where are they going? Wouldn't it be fun to find out what a bunch of other writers thought about those questions? Come play in Snow, my free online writing group. We write to prompts and then people who want to share their writing can, and people who don't want to? That's totally cool too.

Met with my #WritingGroup last night, I'm always nervous to share my work but it's so helpful.
It's especially good realize familiarity with your own work breeds contempt: the things I liked 5 drafts ago (that now seem dull) are still interesting to fresh ears.
