Is your New Year’s resolution to finally write that story, book or poem? Then it’s time to join Fremont Area Writers in a free Zoom Social Write-In on Jan. 11 from 2:00pm to 3:30pm. The Write-In is an opportunity to give your creativity a boost and put you in touch with a community of local writers. The event is free and for all levels from absolute beginner to published pro. This is not a writing critique session. Your writing will not be judged, just enjoyed by your fellow writers.
How the Write-In works:
At the Write-In, the computer will randomly assign four writers to each Zoom room. Writers are given several word or photo prompts. Choose one prompt and write whatever comes to mind for 10 minutes. At the end of 10 minutes, each person in the room will read their response to the prompt. Because the writing time is short, there is no expectation that the result will be polished or even complete. Time to socialize and get to know each other follows the readings. Writers will then be reassigned to a different Zoom room with different people and a new writing challenge. After the second writing period, stories are shared with others in the room.
The Write-In is sponsored by Fremont Area Writers, a branch of the California Writers Club. In addition to the Write-In, FAW meets on Zoom from 2pm – 4pm the fourth Saturday of each month. The speaker for the Jan. 25 meeting is Sandra Tayler whose topic is the motivation problem: how to get moving when you’re stalled and re-direct when you’re off track. Tayler is a writer, editor and publisher with credits in over thirty different titles. Her approach is of value to all creative endeavors, not just writing. Artists are especially encouraged to attend. You do not need to live in Fremont to join the meeting. More information is available at cwc-fremontareawriters.org
