Reflections on first meeting

We had nine people come to the first meeting of the Callahan Creative Writing Workshop at the Callahan Library.

Several of the writers brought pieces to be critiqued.

We are all writing responses to the following prompt for next week: Marissa told Claude she wanted some mint chocolate chip ice cream. Writers can take their writing in any direction they like as long as it touches on the prompt in some way.

Hope to see you at our new Callahan Creative Writers Workshop on Tuesday, July 19.

Callahan Creative Writing Workshop Begins July 12 at Callahan Library

Callahan freelance writer Nancy Lee Bethea will host a new creative writing workshop at the Callahan Library beginning Tuesday, July 12, 2011 at 6:15pm. The library is located at 450077 Florida 200, Suite 15 in Callahan, Florida.

The workshop will meet weekly and offer opportunities for writers to share their work with each other.

“Each meeting will begin with a short writing exercise to serve as a warm-up,” Bethea said. “Then, we’ll share our writing news and have time to critique any the pieces participants want evaluated,” she added.

Guest speakers or authors will be invited to speak at some of the meetings.

Bethea ran a similar workshop at Chamblin’s Uptown, a bookstore in downtown Jacksonville from May 2010 until April 2011. “I wanted to start a workshop closer to home, so I handed the leadership of the Chamblin’s group over to a teacher-friend of mine back in May,” Bethea said.

Writers of all abilities are welcome. Children who have completed the sixth grade or higher are invited to attend.

“All you need for the meeting is a pad of paper, a pen and your imagination,” Bethea said.

Writers Welcome!
