From philosopher Plato to operetta librettist W. S. Gilbert to Agatha Christie, writers have used false appearances to mislead readers. Since October contains Halloween, the most deceptive holiday, the Fremont Area Writers Zoom Social Write-in this month will focus on the theme of confusion and trickery. The write-in is free and open to writers and aspiring writers of all abilities.
At the write-in, writers will be randomly assigned to a Zoom room. Writers are given several word or photo prompts. At the end of 10 minutes, each person will read their response.
There is no expectation that the result will be polished or complete. This is not a critique session. The idea is to jump-start your imagination. Time to chat with fellow writers follows the readings. Writers are then reassigned to a Zoom room with different people and a different writing challenge.
The write-in is sponsored by Fremont Area Writers (FAW), one of 21 branches of the California Writers Club. In addition to the write-in, FAW meets on Zoom the fourth Saturday of each month to hear a speaker discuss some aspect of writing or publishing. The speaker for the Oct. 25 meeting is writer and educator Lyndsey Ellis who will discuss when and how to use multiple points of view.
To join, request the Zoom meeting link from Scott Davidson at sc**************@***oo.com.
All Fremont Area Writers Zoom meetings are free, and open to all who are interested in writing wherever they live. More information is available at cwc-fremontareawriters.org.
