a New Year's Writing Marathon--Jan. 5, 2008
Here's the next event from neoNuma Arts.
A New Year's Writing Marathon
(kick-start that resolution to write more in 2008!)
Saturday, January 5, 2008
10:00am to 1:00pm (let's do lunch afterward!)
Freed-Montrose Library, 4100 Montrose (a block north of Richmond Ave. in Houston, TX)
Cost: a snack to share and a canned food item for Braes Interfaith Ministry Food Pantry
bring:
1. pens, pencils, or your choice of mark-making things
2. notebooks, journals, looseleaf paper, paper bags, napkins, or whatever you like writing upon.
3. laptops---but only if you’re high-tech that way.
We'll spend the three hours doing writing exercises---very Natalie Goldberg Writing Down the Bones kind of stuff. You'll leave with a lot of ideas for future work---maybe more than you'll get to in 2008!
It's going to be as much fun as a room full of people furiously writing away can possibly have. (Which, if you're a writer, can be quite a lot.)
It's cheap (almost free!) and full of potential. Pass it on to your writing friends. Register by emailing neo (at) neonuma.com
Using the public library requires the following small print:

too much fun! wish i could be there. a friend here has been doing a weekly gathering called 'writing through the holidays,' based on Natalie Goldberg and Julia Cameron prompts. we did three Thursdays in November and are doing three more in December. we may steal your idea to continue after the holidays!
i won't be able to attend after all; forgot i committed to a camping trip up near Austin. i hope you do some more of these! mele kalikimaka, Jean Greene
