After a two casual, outdoor, and beery summer meetings, the Brno
Writers Group meeting will start to get more serious with its next meeting on Tuesday,
Sept. 19. Tentatively, the meeting will be held at Café Falk and start at 6:30
p.m.
This meeting will not have a longer work to be critiqued.
Rather, it was decided that we would use the writing prompt to generate new
work from anyone who wants to attend. The writing prompt is: “A humiliating
summer holiday experience.” Please write a short piece (less than 1000 words) about
this topic and send it to brnowritersgroup@gmail.com
before Sept. 12. It will then be packaged up with all of the other submissions
and sent to all of the meeting participants. This is meant to be a glorified
free write. (If you dislike the writing prompt, write about anything else. Writing
prompts are meant to be general in order to inspire writing.)
You do not need to complete the writing prompt if you want
to attend the meeting; however, it is recommended that you read all of the
work, since that is what we will be talking about.
If you would like to participate in the meeting, please send
an email to brnowritersgroup@gmail.com.
Bring your comments to the meeting in order to discuss the positives and negatives
of each piece of work. The author gets your comments after the meeting. Hard
copies are best. Or, if you cannot attend the meeting but would like to
contribute, send your comments by email to BWG and they will be delivered to
the author.
Future BWG meetings will be held on the third Thursday of
every month and follow a similar format, although hopefully with longer pieces
that we could focus upon. Material should be made available a week prior to the
meeting (i.e. the second Tuesday of the month). Writing prompts will also be
used to keep our writing muscles fresh.
