Our CWG monthly program on Tuesday October 12 is a workshop led by John C. Mannone
Program plan: Enormously sucessful in the past, we’re revisiting a night of writing and sharing but with a twist. After a short introduction about various length-of-time prompts, we’ll do some of the shorter ones in situ and everyone will be able to share some of their work if they want. However, the twist is this, to compare different dynamics, we’ll do (1) a prompt* where we’ll have a lengthy time to work on at home (each of might be able to share up to a 5-minute excerpt depending on attendance). At the other extreme, we’ll do (2) a 10-minute writing prompt and (3) a 5-minute writing prompt during the workshop, and have a chance to share our work. We’ll close with a group discussion about the prompts and the process. I’m looking forward to your stories and poems that these prompts will inspire.
